Unilog Overview

What is Unilog?

Unilog CIMM2 is a powerful, affordable cloud-based B2B eCommerce solution designed specifically for mid-market distributors, manufacturers, and wholesalers. We are the only platform that offers a unified commerce solution, bundling product data and content enrichment services with advanced digital commerce capabilities. Core components of the platform include product information management (PIM), a content management system (CMS), the commerce module, site search configuration, event management, and a mobile app. CIMM2 was designed with the unique demands of the B2B buyer in mind: multiple purchasing roles, quick order pads, flexible payment options, punchout, a sales rep access module, and more. Our customers routinely deploy highly complex catalogs with tens of thousands to millions of SKUs and require tight ERP or POS systems integration to enable customer-specific pricing, customer-defined part numbers, and real-time item availability. Unilog enables distributors, manufacturers, and wholesalers to centrally manage their entire product information catalog, including built-in data quality checks, digital asset management, and the ability to publish product data to other platforms. Embedded event management enables customers to view and register for product demonstrations, training classes, technical certifications, customer appreciation days, and other events – right from the website. Unilog recently unveiled FastTrack, a low-cost offering that helps independent distributors, manufacturers, and specialty hardgoods retailers rapidly deploy a digital catalog and cart – a need highlighted by the 2020 COVID-19 crisis. Unilog is widely recognized by industry analysts and customers alike for its progressive B2B eCommerce features, delightful customer site experience, and awesome product content.

"Unilog - okay for basic"
There is a team that can make changes for you. They have a team state-side and in India so that is a perk for round-the-clock site maintenance.

What do you like best about Unilog?

It's a very robust platform, with lots of features, attributes, and options. The support is good, and when you go live with a site on CIMM2, you do get support with regular follow-up calls. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Unilog?

There have been a lot of issues with our site, and lots of support cases since go-live. Some basic things do not work great or work as expected, including search functionality, page editing, and general product setup. Many things within the platform are not as intuitive as they should be. Many features are missing or need to be set-up by developers rather than just turned on. There are a lot of features we see in CIMM that are not available to us, or do not work the way that they appear they should. We have had numerous issues and have solved many, but it's an ongoing challenge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Unilog:

Hold off go-live until you are 100% comfortable with the site. Test the site/software as soon as possible in the process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

CIMM2 did allow us to put a lot more data out on our site, and the site is far superior to our old site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Unilog?

I would say that overall, CIMM2 is user friendly with easy to use content editing tools.

The case management system allows for multiple users to create and edit cases.

It's nice to be able to share issues and concerns with other distributors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Unilog?

It's difficult to have and customizations. Many features are considered "special requests" when they seem an obvious feature and are common on similar eCommerce sites. Such as voice to text searching capabilities or customer account summary dashboards. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Unilog:

Test everything before going live... and then test again. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are using the eCommerce platform to reach potential customers and grow with existing customers without adding headcount. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Unilog?

The PIM and product management tools are top-notch when it comes to creating and maintaining an ecommerce catalog. The customer and user management tools are also quite impressive and effective. Overall, the platform has most (if not all) the major features that you would expect to see, and Unilog does a great job of providing timely support on any issues that arise. Though I have some dislikes listed below, I've seen Unilog take steps and build/revamp features to address the community-wide concerns, which is a major plus. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Unilog?

There's a very steep learning curve for the platform, and many seemingly simple actions require difficult or complex processes to execute (user-friendliness is a major weakness here). The CMS is also quite poor relative to the other platforms on the market - the page designer is nearly unusable, and accessibility to front-end site management features leaves much to be desired. Plug-and-play integration with other software solutions is seemingly non-existent at this time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Unilog:

Given the steep learning curve, a robust internal team of resources is required to fully learn and utilize all that CIMM2 has to offer. If you choose to proceed, you'll need to have internal stakeholders dedicated to mastering the depth of the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

CIMM2 gives our ecommerce team everything we need to adequately manage our website. From maintaining an active, growing product catalog to creating new static pages, we can access and modify nearly anything on our site within a few clicks. CIMM2 has truly served as the bridge that allowed our company to get a modern ecommerce website off the ground. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Unilog?

I do think CIMM2 is comprehensive, in the sense that it gives you all the fields you need to manage users, customers, and items on your website. If you were to try and do this on your own you'd need a pretty robust set of in-house tools. If you are managing a site with a small team, this would be a great product as long as you can get documentation to show you what everything is and how to use it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Unilog?

It's bulky, often slow, and there is so little documentation that knowing how to do something usually involves a phone call to support - which sometimes takes weeks for a follow-up. For example, we had coupons enabled on the website on 7/11/2017, and I was only just given the proper demonstration/documentation to use this feature yesterday on 9/11/2017. We have this same problem almost every time we want to add something on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Unilog:

Make sure you get comprehensives demos during go-live, and write your own documentation for internal users. This will ensure a much smoother transition than we had, and your ability to use all the comprehensive features the product does offer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Product and subset management, and user roles/approvers are the biggest "wins" for us. Besides that, just being a storage for the enriched content, and we are about to implement the indesign catalog creator which will save our graphic designer a great deal of time.

What do you like best about Unilog?

What I like best about CIMM2 is the ability to upload bulk items quickly. I also like the workbook feature which allows you to change categories for various items, or even delete a bulk of items at once. I also enjoy how quickly the changes appear on our actual website. All you have to do is a quick Solr Search Refresh. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Unilog?

The little quirks that come with CIMM2 such as site frequent site malfunctions. I feel that CIMM2 can be a bit sensitive when it comes to certain things. For example when you want to click the back button it completely times you out. Another example is if you upload a photo for an item the image title cannot have any unknown characters (- or _) or the thumbnail image will not show up on our website. In my opinion I just think those are two aspects CIMM2 should be able to handle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Unilog:

I would recommend, seems to be working well for our company. Gets the job done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Adding and deleting items to our website. I can add or delete multiple items at once which is efficient. I can also edit item descriptions on the fly or by bulk. The search feature is very simple and allows me to find an item instantly so I can go in and edit. Makes the product enhancement process very convenient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Unilog?

I like the way that our site looks and how clear and clean it is. I think that we will eventually get everything done that we want to get done and be extremely happy with the finished product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Unilog?

I think that some issues we have while working in CIMM2 are not quickly resolved or even quickly looked at. We have cases that have been open for over a month. It is very time consuming and puts our work behind when these issues are not resolved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Unilog:

I think that the product and what you can get out of the software is great. However, the work it takes to get issues fixed within CIMM2 is extremely frustrating and often extremely time consuming. We have cases that have been open for over a month that have not been resolved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We are creating a B2B eCommerce site for our customers to use. We have never had this functionality before and really like that our customers are going to be able to have a new avenue to place orders. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Unilog?

Lately, very little to like. The service and quality has been on a downward slide for a couple of years. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Unilog?

There are many aspects of CIMM2 that the customer can't change on their own. You have to get Unilog to do the updates which usually delays you by a day. They have horrible customer service and no sense of urgency at all. It takes weeks to get simple things done through them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Unilog:

Think long and hard before signing anything with them. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We had a web ordering system prior but it was lacking in function and enriched data. CIMM2 allowed us to put forth a functional website with images, descriptions, and attachments on all of our products. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Unilog?

I like having control of most functions of our site and being able to make changes ourselves. Also it is helpful having a team that is able to answer questions and fix problems by messaging back and forth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Unilog?

CIMM2 isn't as user friendly as I would like. Simple functions turn into being custom made. Functions that are offered in the system do not work as easily as they should such as creating a form. It seems like some functions have not been thought through. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Unilog:

It is a useful program but you must be patient when learning how to use CIMM2. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We will reach more customers and plan to increase profit from this endeavor. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Unilog?

The features I like the best about CIMM2 is the easy navigation and easy way to update parts. Single parts can be updated in a matter of seconds and the system allows me to update bulk parts rather quickly. CIMM provides multiple templates to load data and manage the data in the system. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Unilog?

One feature i do not like is the fact that i can not export data from CIMM in the upload format. That would make bulk changes much easier. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

MDM management. This is allowing us to realize what parts are already in our system and not create duplicates for new customers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
