Innovative, Fast-Paced, and a Pleasure to Work with.

They are an absolute pleasure to work with. I've been in the technology business for twelve years and have worked with hundreds of 3rd parties. By far, Publitas is my favorite. The fact that they come to our quarterly meetings with not only free upgrades, but revenue-driving features is incredible. All partners should behave the same. In addition, when we also mention improvements we'd like to see in the future - it's as if by magic, the feature is ready for us within a week or two.

PROS

Publitas is consistently innovating their e-catalog software to allow for embedded playable videos, slideshows, animated gifs for an incredible user experience. Every three months they come up with something that is astonishing. Now, they are working on personalized catalogs, automated builders, lead-forms to acquire new customers, and integrating into sales applications. Integration was easy. Publitas was up and going on our site within 3 days once contracts were signed. (It took us time to load in our 25 catalogs.)

CONS

The google tag manager integration is cumbersome; though Publitas is entirely willing to assist in the setup process as well as help us debug issues that originated in the original EPIserver setup.

Reasons for switching to Publitas

Active merchandiser was unsecure (http instead of https which all of the modern browsers require now) as well as uses cookies, which required our retailers to disable their default cookie settings. Due to the fact that our retailers trend towards boomers and gen-x, it was a tough ask. We needed a new integration that took all of the modern browsers in account when upgrading. In addition, Publitas is fully-mobile friendly and allows for vertical scrolling on cell phones - which gives our catalogs a seamless scroll Pinterest like experience.

Digital version of our magazine looks great

PROS

Publitas is easy to use and helps us make our biannual magazine available to our online readership quickly and in a visually attractive manner.

CONS

Publitas does not offer specific accessibility features but instead relies on you to upload accessible PDF files. This can be challenging depending on the PDF source and I wish there were built-in options to improve the accessibility of PDFs uploaded to Publitas.

Reason for choosing Publitas

Cost effectiveness and visual attractiveness.

Vendor Response

We appreciate you taking the time to write us this review and providing detailed insights for other potential buyers. Your feedback will be taken back to our team to keep optimizing our offering.

Easy to use

PROS

Easy to upload PDF files, or update an existing PDF without the need to re-tag! Integrates with eCommerce. Can build publications with platform as well.

CONS

The flip animation could be improved with more creative options.

Reason for choosing Publitas

Pricing. Ease of implementation. Ability to preserve tags if a pdf needed to be updated. FlipHTML5 makes you re-tag everything. Integration with the product feed to search for products and make the catalog shoppable.

Reasons for switching to Publitas

Google Catalogs was being discontinued and we needed an easy to implement option.

Seamless Content Sharing

Publitas is an easy to use and reliable platform for our B2B and internal communication. Our team uses it to craft important pitches to buyers and other key stakeholders. It's also an invaluable tool for internal visual work. We use it as a daily basis for simple sharing of design iterations with our C-suite. The simplicity of use for non-designers is invaluable. The hosting is reliable and just "works" for us, both in real time, and as an archive of past projects. We use Publitas in simple ways, and we can it can grow with us if we decide to take advantage of its more advanced features.

PROS

Favorite things about the Publitas platform:Ease of use.Value.Dependability.Flexibility.Ability to turn on and off link access easily and quickly.

CONS

Don't have any current Cons to list. The platform works well for our needs. We started with the free program, but then upgraded to a paid option when we wanted to have more control over keeping our links private from the web.

Vendor Response

Your endorsement is invaluable to us, and we're so grateful that you've recognized the effort we put into our software.
