I like that Pimcore is very flexible and allows me to manage and output data very easily. Building websites with Pimcore is very pleasant. I also find the constant development impressive because you can see that the product is always improving and nothing stands still.

It can be customised to handle virtually any business logic and comes with a wide range of features and functions that you can use out of the box or extend as needed. This includes workflows, role-based permissions, completeness rules, and automation for mundane tasks, and more recently an added framework for AI and AI refinement. Pimcore used to offer a very low TCO for companies, and although they moved to a licensing model in later versions, the cost still isn’t huge. The new Studio UI provides a much better user experience along with improved performance. The Data Hub is essential as well, since Pimcore is where you want to maintain a single source of truth for all consuming systems, and you typically need both input and output integrations with support for whatever formats those systems require. You need to set up and understand the company data model and channels, once you have that mapped out, most of the work is detailing how you and your different departments are to work with the software. One key change for us was coming from a flat structure to a hierarchy structure with use of inheritance. We had a great partner help us.

I really appreciate Pimcore's simplicity in managing both data and experiences using a single interface, which means we don't need multiple applications anymore. I also like how you can create data models specifically tailored for our industry, addressing our complex and varied product workflows. Pimcore's ability to handle data modeling and governance without us having to adapt to the platform is a significant positive. It's pleasant that Pimcore adapts to our needs rather than the other way around.
