Akeneo, the Hercules to our product issues Hydra
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.
CONSNo 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.
PROSAkeneo 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.
CONSMy 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
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 We migrated from an outdated PIM where everything was inputted manually so this program has greatly sped up our internal processes.
CONSOur 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.
PROSAkeneo 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.
CONSSome features are complicated to implement and require some getting used to.

Good PIM/PCM to publish all your product content
The transformation rules, they are quite simple, so if you do not need anything complicated, it will automazime most of the process.
CONSThe GUI and quality assurance could use some work.
Reason for choosing Akeneo Product Cloud
It seems like a better product, PIMCore, PIMCore is less expensive, but it does not have so much features.

A Solid Choice for PIM
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.
CONSThe 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.
PROSCapacity 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.
CONSChanging/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.
PROSOpen 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.
CONSIntegration 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.

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

Definitely a must for improved daily business operations
I love the fact that even though I've been using Akeneo for +3 years now, I continue learning new things on a daily basis.
PROSSeemless integration with other Apps, ERP and Cloud systems. The REST API makes it extremely easy to connect and define connections.
CONSWould 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.

Using PIM the first week
Is easy to teach how to use. It has a pretty intuitive UI and you can export documents in many formats that make easier the compatibility with others softwares.
PROSPIM has a great flexibility to improve your management tasks and save time making your job easyer. I love the capabilities that pim offers to the user to manage the information more efficiently. 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.
CONSThat what i don't like from PIM is that the learning curve isn't that faster as i thought but with a couple of weeks of study you can handle it pretty good.

Best PIM I could found, but hard to understand well
It's free, it's modern, it's fast, clean. You can perceive it's well designed and programmed. It fulfills just PIM needs without unnecessary additional features. It has a free community edition you can use self-hosted.
CONSIt's hard to understand, you must study the guides. It doesn't have a free hosted version. You need a VPS to use it.
