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.
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.
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.

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

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.
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.
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.

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.
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.
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.
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.

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.

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

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.
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.
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.

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.
