What do you dislike about Pimcore?

-- there is no frontend because you have to write your own controllers and views. But this can be a big advantage if you hate customizing frontends (like typo3 with all the css you have to customize) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Outstanding framework for Digital Commerce"
5/5
What do you like best about Pimcore?

Pimcore is an outstanding framework for Digital Commerce. It combines content and e-commerce in a way, it’s been demanded for years, but has never actually been implemented in any framework or platform. Further, pimcore offers the functionality of a Content Management, - a Digital Asset Management (DAM), - and a Product Information Management system. In addition, pimcore provides a high-performance e-commerce framework to its partner agencies, in order to realize more ambitious Digital Commerce projects.

At first glance, the administrative backend gives the impression of pimcore to be a complete web application rather than being a framework. However, at second glance you will see, that the initially given functionality is generic. Pimcore processes any content, data and asset. Pimcore agencies will further implement the specific functionality with their clients. Pimcore is an advanced platform for innovative projects, as the recent Shop Usability Award shows. Blackbit won, with an e-commerce platform on pimcore basis, the award for "innovativster Online-Shop 2016" (most innovative Online-Shop 2016).

Hence, pimcore isn´t just innovative it is disruptive. Pimcore questions the business model of agencies, continuously taking over diligence work, that because of its technical complexity allegedly cannot be realized on client-side. Pimcore disenchants technology and serves its users the understanding of technology, with the help of an intuitive, even partially self-explanatory user interface. And this understanding of technology and its possibilities is, because of the progressing digitalization, urgently needed in those companies. Non-sustainable are systems, that keep their users on a certain distance to the technology and therefore prevent them, to discover new, creative and to their requirements adapted alternative uses.

What do you dislike about Pimcore?

The generic approach of pimcore as a framework means to re-implement many features that you will often find in other applications. On the other hand, this means to re-evaluate things you have already developed in the past and gives you an opportunity to continuously improve. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Pimcore is the perfect foundation for setting up a CMS/DAM and/or PIM"
5/5
What do you like best about Pimcore?

Looking at the Pimcore feature set, one might get the impression that it tries to be too many things to excel in any - but it does. The key is Pimcore having just the right interfaces. It is not an "i can do anything but hard to adapt" system: any developer will actually enjoy implementing customer specific solutions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pimcore?

Being a very flexible framework solution, pimcore generates code (such as ORM) in order to maintain systems performance - which is a good thing. On the other hand, this results in some file system dependencies making cloud-scale deployment a challenge. As this is a known issue, there are of course solutions, too.

Plese note: You are going to need some implementation support to get the maximum out of Pimcore - similar to all PIM solutions on the market. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"There's so much functionality, after 5 years I'm still discovering"
5/5
What do you like best about Pimcore?

The pimcore framework is packed full of functionality, which makes web application development from CMS to CRM lightning fast! But what strikes me the most about this constantly evolving platform is that every feature is generic enough to extend, with hardly any compromises. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Pimcore?

In recent years many content management systems have started to jump ahead in terms of admin panel access. Although I am a fan of ExtJS I find that the licensing restrictions around this commercial platform come with some restrictions. It's great that Pimcore offers long term support as this is an enterprise ready product after all, but some of this long term support does limit future technology choices.
