Akeneo, the Hercules to our product issues Hydra

PROS

The fit for purpose towards the required PIM, commercial and syndication capabilities we need to have. The fit for purpose towards target data model (product and equipment) architecture, edge cases, current PIM gaps & limitations. Akeneo is bringing all kind of out of the box capabilities, to ensure we have a fast to market approach with good and mature enough embedded product related MDM capabilities. The flexibility and scalability towards our roadmap and future vision. Akeneo was able to leverage & showcase the interaction in a very efficient matter and brought in multiple references that have exceeded our expectations showing a proven track record that meet our complex data model and or related business / commerce transformations.

CONS

No MDM capabilities, DAM capabilities were poor however since we are going for an integrated DAM solution, this is not an issue for us.

Fantastic PIM software

We were looking for a platform to manage product data and syndicate it to downstream applications. This data goes to our eCommerce site, our customers' eCommerce sites, a new automation platform, and internal data analytics tools. We're very happy and would recommend Akeneo to anyone who asked.

PROS

Akeneo is incredibly easy to use. Structuring our data and managing improvements to it has great improved our internal product data practices. Syndication is also a piece of cake with customizable export profiles and scheduling. Uploads into the system are also very straight forward.

CONS

My biggest complaint is that we used an implementation partner; after going through the setup of our environment, it seemed to me that we could handle 90% of the tasks ourselves. This is a testament to how easy to use it is. Our integration with our DAM, Aprimo, was also challenging because it was the first integration between these two systems.

Reason for choosing Akeneo Product Cloud

Ease of use, primarily. Cost was less of a concern.

Reasons for switching to Akeneo Product Cloud

Our company was sold and our PIM was with the previous parent company, necessitating us to standup our own system.

Title of my Review

PROS

Drag & Drop features as well as the ease of mass imports & exports for product information. We migrated from an outdated PIM where everything was inputted manually so this program has greatly sped up our internal processes.

CONS

Our integration didn't go all that well, so our product families were never set up correctly which caused a lot of issues with our website. That is more of an internal problem though. Be sure you find the correct external agency if you do not have the internal capabilities. We're paying for it dearly.

An ever growing environment for product data

We have managed to generate product data, that wouldn't have been able to implement with our existing software and facilitated lots processes.

PROS

Akeneo offers a multitude of features that can facilitate processes and help getting the most out of product data. Over the years, Akeneo has implemented features, which require little to no customization on our side.

CONS

Some features are complicated to implement and require some getting used to.

PROS

CONS

A Solid Choice for PIM

PROS

With experience in other enterprise PIM Systems, I can say with confidence that Akeneo's interface is easier to understand and more intuitive than other options on the market.

CONS

The onboarding process was a bit clunky, primarily attributed to our Integrating partner who did not fully understand the Akeneo process.

Reasons for switching to Akeneo Product Cloud

At the advice of a development team, primarily for connectivity to an existing eComm platform.

Great fit for our needs

PIM as a source of truth with one/global space to store, update product information is what we were looking for. Managing product data is much easier and product information updates can be done much quicker thanks to linked channels.

PROS

Capacity to link to ERP, internal software. To host product information in organized way with insights to data quality score. Workflows and approval process based on role & permission set.

CONS

Changing/editing attributes after they have been created is kind of headache. As well "reference entity like" feature for set of attributes would make our jobs easier.

Great tool to manage and enrich data efficiently

Overall, Akeneo has helped us to build out and enrich our product data well beyond what we would have been able to do without it. The addition of asset management with the enterprise edition was a big feature for us to be able to handle all the many different imagery assets we have for each product and to feed it out to our web site very efficiently. Akeneo is designed for product data enrichment and it delivers extremely well.

PROS

Open customization was, for us, one of the biggest factors as we needed to be able to import in product data from our inventory control system on an ongoing basis. The good network of integration partners that Akeneo has developed and the flexibility of open source code made it a great way to us to build out the extra things we needed while utilizing many of the excellend out of the box features to work with the data once it's in Akeneo and pass it on to our site.

CONS

Integration and customization, while great, also make for more challenging paths during regular updates and upgrades. Akeneo regularly releases fixes and full feature updates, which is also a great thing, but does present us with the need to continually stay on top of those to ensure we're at a version we're comfortable with and also keeping our customizations in working condition with the latest versions.

A game changer for your products

We historically managed product data from our ERP. This resulted in weak structures and complex processes who played well at older company stages, but did not at current scale. PIM adoption has been not just another third-party component on our platform, but the opportunity to unload the ERP from responsibilities that never had to be there, as well to sanitize a degraded product data.

PROS

Helped us on establishing a healthy product data with the proposed concepts and structures. The product enrichment process turned into a more friendly and meaningful task, valuating the work of involved people. The offered support is freaking excellent, we got the answers needed during adoption in a very reasonable time, with a very comprehensive language.

CONS

The assets management and translation processes offered out of the box did not cover our current range of necessities, so we opted for integration other tools to complete them all.

PXM made easy

Akeneo is helping us in delivering our journey of product information and recommendation at scale. The fact that our data model can evolve quickly with just configuration instead of developments and the facility of connection to third parties are key features of the app. Principle of assets, reference entities, channels and locales are working perfectly together to manage content completion and localization in a structured way.

PROS

It’s friendly user- interface. The easy switch between channels. The concept of assets and entities providing many possibilities to manage enriched content.

CONS

The 'Simultaneous Work' that is not yet arrived and some complexity in navigating through the history of modification. This based on using it in an international context at scale with many users and markets collaborating at the same time on the PIM.

Would be great if you could import using more document types, e.g. PDF's. As well as when downloading a PDF of a product, it should include the product image, with a better layout of content.

You can unify your products information in one only software that allows you manage all of it. You can also personalize almost any field in fact to your necessities.
