What do you like best about inriver PIM?

Connectivity and integrations to other systems. Our product information is in one place - Inriver. The management of product information is completely under the control of our internal team, and if some functionalities are missing, Inriver is flexible enough to be able to implement additional functionalities with the help of the development team. Also, it is quite easy to use once you learn the logic of the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about inriver PIM?

Can be confusing to use at start. Could use some usability improvements. The pricing is high compared to other service providers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is inriver PIM solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our group of companies consists of eight subsidiaries, each of which has its own products and product information needs. Inriver helps us manage this huge product set and also facilitates the workflow internally. The companies also all have slightly different needs in terms of how and to which channels product information is distributed. Inriver helps by acting as a single source of product information from which product data can be distributed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about inriver PIM?

We liked InRiver's intuitive design and user-friendly features the most when comparing PIMs. Navigating through the platform is a seamless experience, facilitated by a well-structured layout and intuitive controls.

Even for users with limited technical proficiency, InRiver provides ample guidance and support, ensuring a smooth onboarding process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about inriver PIM?

We encountered challenges related to initial setup, because of how our existing data and Magento pages were configured. We expected that this step would take a while but it ended up taking us the good part of a year to get the data entered and ready to go. It has been fairly easy to integrate with other systems but solving challenges can be difficult to determine the root issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
