Pimcore vs. Salsify

Pimcore is especially suitable for an organization that has a complex data model and processes that cannot be met easily with out of the box systems. It is especially helpful where data is lying in multiple legacy systems and needs complex integrations with these systems. It may not be the best choice for someone looking for and out of the box system with predefined features.

Besides the obvious need for a lot of technical resources in the form of technical support and specialist hours, and also from probably a long timeframe of deployment time. The resulting tool might have the power to change your organization as the Product data "source of truth", which means in other words, to have all your product data and management in a single reliable tool. Looking forward this change will definitely pay out and make it possible to update product offerings and respond faster to changes moving forward.

• Pimcore is fully opensource and based on leading Symfony, the leading PHP framework. It has a well-developed partner network and community support.
• In contrast to other systems that have a quite rigid architecture Pimcore is designed as a platform for developers. It can be used to model complex data architecture with ease and develop features tailored to customer needs.
• It provides a fully integrated platform for Product Information Management, Digital Asset Management, and Enterprise Content Management. This ensures there is no duplication of assets and content and data across multiple systems.
• All PIM features are also available through a REST-based Web Service allowing easy integration with other applications.
• In addition to PIM, DAM and WCM features it also provides a robust eCommerce platform.

• Easily upload information such as photos all into one place
• Ease of exporting/importing product sheets to send to prospects
• Ease of integration/connectivity via APIs

• PimCore should make the Video Training free so that it could become more popular among the mass
• Installation is but tedious for new and seasoned developer. If something like wordpress kind of installer can be developed ... that would be awesome
• Developer documentation could have been better
• With growing popularity MACH architecture, I would suggest PIMCore team for making it headless first platform
• Make single click setup over Digital Ocean, Linode and other cloud provider

• It needs more ability to limit viewing or editing of certain attributes by user or user class. I understand this is in the pipeline.
• Responsive design. It is not usable on a phone (various iPhone n+ models). I NEVER prefer to work in Salsify on my phone, but it would be nice to be able to in a pinch.

I am only giving it a 9 because they are working on streamlining the uploading process to make things easier on our end - once this is complete I would most likely give it a 10!

PIMCore is Digital Platform making it single source of truth for many upstream and downstream system. Akeneo is just PIM and its doing PIM job properly but PimCore is much more than this. AEM is too costly and can't be affordable for many small and mid size companies

Salsify was the clear winner when it came to a simple interface that allowed a multitude of uses for the organization. The others weren't structured in a way that we could easily allow new users in and were intimidating at the start. The syndication abilities and continual additions of new channels were one of the biggest selling points.
