I love the simplicity to connect different objects like product information and content. Enrich my content is really simple. I can add easily one or more images and manage their metadata to improve search and SEO. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The user interface, but like an open-source solution Pimcore allows me to customize each part of the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We really like the integrated PIM module, which helps us to create our digital experiences in a faster way. The possibility to also manage customer data (CDP module) is very practical for managing B2B and B2C customer profiles centrally. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The asset portal extension of the DAM module is not compatible with mobile devices. We were expecting better mobile compatibility here. The user management is becoming more and more complex the more features we use. This could be made more intuitive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We really like that the product connects all our product content with our marketing content. The versioning features and reporting features help us to keep a good overview of our business. The extensive user and role management enables us to grant the right level of access to each group. The search features have great filters. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We were facing issues with the filters in batch edit mode. The CSV export feature was not capable of exporting data from the so-called classification store. When multiple people edit one object at the same time they cannot see who is else is currently editing it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We like that it makes our software developers work faster but does not restrict them in any way. The system allows configuration of many settings and therefore incurs little coding effort. As a company we can remove much technical hassle and focus on the product or solultion we are creating. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It can be hard keep track of configuration changes performed in the system. The complexity of the system can make it hard to keep a complete overview on a technical level. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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.
We like especially that it is easy to use and configure and very flexible to adapt. Our software developers could get started quickly and did not require a lot of Pimcore-specific knowledge, because a lot of the functionalities are based on the Symfony PHP framework standard components. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There is no default cross-table support. We cannot assign an entity properties without workarounds. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
From my experience I will say that the most common objectives for the PIM solutions are:
- Risk reduction due to incorrect or incoherent data in all publishing channels.
- Control and monitoring for the process including cost and Time reduction during product data enrichment.
Coherent data needs complete model and Pimcore we can do that using a class definition - a graphical user interface (GUI). It helps to define objects for products, categories, manufacturers, vendors as a structured data. Then objects can be connected each other. Furthermore, that there is no need to have programming skills, so it can be done by the employees of the company.
For controlling the whole process it has to be implemented in the system, so everyone involved should work in the same place. Because most of the processes based on the flow, there is an option to map them on list of states and actions in Pimcore workflow. It can be applied for any of the defined objects like product, company, etc. and also for the images, documents (eg. certificate). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
As Pimcore is more framework, it's documentation is more focused on developers than Business user. Fortunatelly it's changed lately, so more and more system areas are covered by documentation. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We like best the seamless architecture of Pimcore and that it consolidated all needed (in our case PIM/MDM, CMS and E-Commerce) functionalities in one single platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There is actually nothing to dislike within Pimcore. A default API interface to our ERP Oxaion would have been neat though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The easy and self-explanatory handling of the system. Compared to Hubspot, we can setup the layouts a lot more comfortably and dynamically. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
We are missing a search feature for web document pages. Keeping an overview is sometimes difficult when managing hundreds of different pages in a multi-lingual enterprise environment. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The flexible data models and that every data record which is connected automatically stays up-to-date and consistent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The lack of frontend capabilities for a simpler and reduced data management experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The flexibility when it comes to data modelling and the number of attributes which are possible. The field collection and classification store features are especially helpful for complex data models. The user rights and role management features are quite advanced and we love the custom perspectives and layouts. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It takes a lot of effort to get started. There are no default configurations for specific industries. Its great flexibility can also be a weakness. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The best thing in Pimcore is its flexibility which allows for creating different solution based on it. It's not only a PIM, not only a CMS or DAM - it compiles all these perspectives within one platform, easy to develop and quick to deploy. It provides great developer experience, at the same times ensuring that the end client will receive all they need for business purposes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
One thing that should be improved in Pimcore is its backend panel, which could use some UX and IU improvements, now done as a customization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Pimcore has a unique platform where everything a software integrator, digital agency, professional or enterprise needs is all together in one place. A total digital transformation can take place with just the use of Pimcore’s own product suite which includes – CMS, DAM, PIM/MDM, and e-commerce. With Pimcore CMS, users can create, manage and easily maintain a digital experiences and its data all in a single source. It can then be published to all output channels: web, mobile, apps, social platforms, print and digital signage. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Sometimes uploading images can often be a long process. More instructions also need to be provided for the process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I used the online shop interface for a setting up online presence of a steel pipe manufacturing business and Pimcore was an adequate choice, I must say.
It has almost all the aspects integrated into it like system finders and advance search tool to help customers narrow down their search etc. But what I found different was the multi-cart system. I didn't see this function in any other online interface provider and it was particularly suited for our industry. Being in Steel Pipe manufacturing and selling business we had a consumer base in several countries and customers would want different products such as A53 pipe , OCTG products or A500 tubing. All products have different duties and import criteria so multi-cart system really helped us and our customers to maintain separate records for their transactions.

While checkout process was smooth for most customers but data collection workflow after order placement could be a little bit better.
Also they could work a little more on customization. It's a great tool and I could set up the outlook as I wanted but I felt we could do with a little more freedom and options to change the look and feel of the shop. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
