"We can't use it (or we can in a very limited capacity) but are beholden"
0/5
What do you like best about Athos Commerce?

Nothing, the experience as a whole has been negative. From aggressive sales, not the most helpful onboarding and implementation team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Athos Commerce?

Sales team was aggressive, they sell it as incredibly compatible and that it works as we need it to.

However, because they don't offer a trial (for implementation), you can't see if there are compatibility issues (and their team is not good at articulating the features/how it works) until the agreement is signed.

Since then, we've discovered that we can't use it (if we do, it's in a limited capacity), but we can't get out of the contract either. And the team is not helpful in getting us to a solution and you're kind of treated more so as a burden than a customer (ex: asked for documentation on all the features and how they work - got a link to matrix and when someone walked us through the backend, it was laughable)

So definitely not advisable for cost-conscious start-ups - better to use a native (to your eCommerce platform -- Commerce or Shopify have built-ins) solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Satisfied with SearchSpring so far"
4/5
What do you like best about Athos Commerce?

I like the capabilities of Search Spring a lot and I do feel like they are the best in class for smart merchandising. I think the different variables with which you are able to customize the ordering of products on PLPs coupled with the ability to customize the visual appearance of PLPs is a huge benefit to any DTC brand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Athos Commerce?

I wish the platform was a little easier to use and a little more intuitive. Sometimes the back end can feel like you need to understand HTML in order to use it. I think the platform couple benefit from a behind-the-scenes facelift. I also think its compatability with other Shopify apps could be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Customer Support, Ease of Use, Extra features Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Athos Commerce?

Some of our customizations don't allow us to use all of Searchspring's features but that's more on us than on them. They have a lot of great features, but reporting on banners & recommendations could be better Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great Product Overall, Communication Opportunity for Improvement"
3/5
What do you like best about Athos Commerce?

The product itself is best-in-class. Very much appreciate the continued improvements and additional functionality added to the core product. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Athos Commerce?

Communication has always been an area that could use improvement. With the recent hires, I see that this may improve, but it's important the clients feel like they are a priority and have timely responses. Multiple times reached out to SS to ensure an client's email gets a reply, as we hadn't heard anything in over a week. Proactive communication when a resource will be out and handoff to a POC while the resource is out will greatly help with this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Response from Search Spring of Athos Commerce

Thank you for your feedback, Molly. We have shared your feedback with the CS team so we can continue to improve any gaps in communication.
