What do you like best about Pimcore?

Especially the digital asset management has become a lot easier for our company. We can upload the images to a central repository and the software automatically creates various output formats. The software adjusted very well to our business processes and made work for the marketing department easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pimcore?

Sometimes the software is complicated to use. When creating new content it can become confusing. Because it is so open and flexible and offers so many possbilities it requires a lot of planning, knowledge and preparation to create content and navigation structures in a good way. Its flexibility also makes the system complex. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Pimcore:

Make yourself aware before you start the project what are your actual goals and what you would like to achieve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Pimcore solving and how is that benefiting you?

We like that the system is very open and customizable. It can meet many requirements and we can use it for many different digitalization topics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Pimcore?

In the digital asset management module the focal point feature helps a lot when publishing multiple image output formats from one single source. The graphical user interface for the data modeling helps non-technical people such as project managers and consultants to set up the system configuration without the need to code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pimcore?

The integrated image editing capabilities do not work as expected. We are missing some features here. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Pimcore:

Get support from the vendor in your first project and make sure to certify your developers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Pimcore solving and how is that benefiting you?

Our goal was to consolidate various data (products, images, ...) from different systems and formats in one system. The import of the images was challenging and more difficult than expected. Implementing the solution worked very well and the system adjusted to our needs and requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Pimcore?

The best thing about Pimcore is it's flexibility. We can start small - with simple (but custom) PIM solution - but after that we still have a lot of possibilites. We can grow our PIM with new features, we can transform it easily to MDM, include DAM or CRM capabilities. Using built-in CMS capabilities we can quickly use already existing product database to create a corporate website with eCatalog. From there we are just a small step from adding e-commerce capabilities.

The best thing - developers love it. Its framework approach means that we don't have to overwrite anything - we can create new features the way we want. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pimcore?

There are still some places in the codebase which are not yet optimized for extending Pimcore features with external bundles. Fortunately, Pimcore Core Team is working on this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Pimcore solving and how is that benefiting you?

Most of the projects we are facing are in some way custom - there is no standard company with the standard data model, standard e-commerce needs or standard product workflow. Using Pimcore we can recreate the business needs of our clients in software instead of changing how businesses work because the software requires it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Pimcore?

We like that the event-driven software architecture allows us to implement custom requirements and re-use many existing components of the Symfony ecosystem. The data modeling feature works like a charm because it provides such great possiblities for scalable data models. The user interface for accessing and editing data is very intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pimcore?

The product user interface seems quite technical and could confuse non-technical customers. The developer community is still quite small (for example compared to Drupal). This can make it take a long time to find out about some issues in forums or community platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Pimcore:

Get your data models straight! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Pimcore solving and how is that benefiting you?

We like the product very much because it is so flexible and we can implement nearly every requirement with it. The start was not so easy as the community was quite small. Sometimes we were stil facing smaller bugs which had not been fixed yet. When facing problems it is great that you can look up a lot of information in the Symfony documentation, because Pimcore is based on the Symfony PHP framework.

What do you like best about Pimcore?

We really love the button "Show In Tree" as it allows us to quickly view the location of a document, asset or data object in the system. The fast switching between the tabs of different content makes working with the system a comfortable experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pimcore?

We would really appreciate better search functionality for documents. For example if we want to find a specific keyword on every webpage and want a list of all pages were this keyword is included. Also a search & replace feature to quickly replace words would be handy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Pimcore:

I would more clearly define the responsibilities of the solution implementation project. We had some misunderstandings with our implementation partner, which was a digital agency. For example it was not clear what is the responsibility of the project manager on their side and on our side. The role and user access to the system should also be done more slow, when everything is already working to avoid messing up some stuff that is only partly done yet. This should also be planned well in advance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Pimcore solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is self-explanatory and easy to handle. Some features would have been handy such as a better search function. During the implementation phase we had some challenges because the solution was not stable enough yet. Now it is running very smooth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Pimcore?

Pimcore provides a very clear overview of the content we manage in our company. Compared to all other CMS systems we have worked with so far it has a clearer and better user interface and is a lot more intuitive to use. In the past we also worked with Hubspot, Adobe Experience Manager and Wordpress - with Pimcore we can work a lot faster and have a better content editing experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pimcore?

They recently changed the user interface which made it a bit difficult for us to navigate inside the admin backend. We had to re-learn some things which we already knew before. Sometimes the system crashes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Pimcore solving and how is that benefiting you?

I like a lot that Pimcore connects all content with each other. If we move some content or rename images it always keeps the connection between the content and we never face any 404 errors. We especially appreciate the integrated DAM module which provides a central repository of our media assets. We can thus reuse the images and videos multiple times and do not have to reupload them again and again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Pimcore?

Pimcore is a highly flexible and reliable open-source solution. It is based on a well-known framework - Symfony which makes it easy to extend by developers. Creating a consistent data structure for all output channels is very easy thanks to the included management panel. This functionality significantly decreases TTM. Moreover, Pimcore is not only dedicated to PIM systems. A high variety of extensions makes it simple to use it as a CMS, eCommerce or simple ERP system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pimcore?

Pimcore does not contain out-of-the-box integrations with the most popular eCommerce platforms. Included management panel is based on Ext.js that is not very popular among developers, thus is quite challenging to extend. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Pimcore:

If you want to use it as a PIM system that will be gathering data from different sources, processing, enriching and outputting info multiple channels Pimcore is a perfect solution for you. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Pimcore solving and how is that benefiting you?

We have implemented Pimcore as a production information system, eCommerce platform, marketplace, and CMS page. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Pimcore?

Pimcore as Open Source allows solutions that customers can use in an elastic way including PIM, CMS and DAM.

The interface is extremely intuitive and thanks to various roles defined in the panel, the user can complete the content, products, attributes, prices, etc.

What's more, the system was created to maximize the work of developers, and its scalability and intuitiveness make the update does not require a lot of commitment on the part of employees.

The noticeable increase in Pimcore's management is an added benefit to the fact that it is becoming more and more popular in the e-commerce industry. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pimcore?

It is hard to find anything. For the first time, the panel was quite complicated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Pimcore?

The thing I like the most in Pimcore is his ability to be a tailored software for every need. Flexibility is its second name. Being a business owner you can benefit from this software on every level. You can manage products, clients, content - all in one administration panel, with the ability to customize it for every single user.

Having all this information in one place, you have a single source of truth for all your data. You can then share those data across all the online (e-commerce, ecatalog, marketplaces) and offline (leaflets, print catalogs, etc.) channels.

You don't have any online channel to share the data? No problem! Adding e-commerce/ecatalog functionality to the data source is as simple as 1-2-3. This gives you the power to create one platform to rule them all! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pimcore?

Would be great to have a wider range of plugins. Pimcore has a very vibrant community so it is easy to find a suitable partner for creating a tailored extension. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Pimcore:

Make sure to find a good partner with a wide experience. You'd be amazed by how your business can leverage on Pimcore, in the areas, that you would not even think of. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Pimcore solving and how is that benefiting you?

Create a consistent data structure from all incoming channels to unify and enrich them and be able to share them across all the channels.

The quality of our data has been increased dramatically. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Pimcore?

With Pimcore I can build websites a lot faster than with other digital experience platforms. They are a lot easier to use for the editors in the back end than for example with Wordpress or TYPO3. I especially like the Pimcore document content areas, which make content management an easy task for the users, adding new pages to the websites or managing data becomes a very comfortable experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pimcore?

As a beginner I had a hard time getting started in the developer documentation as it is lacking content and proper structure. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Pimcore solving and how is that benefiting you?

The implementation of the HTML templates was very fast. The backend user interface is very user-friendly, clean and clear. It is very intuitive to use and a lot easier to implement and configure than other content management systems such as Drupal. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
