Plytix

Pros

The layout and ease of use - everything just makes sense. I find this platform to be very intuitive, and whenever I was stumped, I would check the Help Center for guidance.

Cons

Implementing a new system forced us to really look at the integrity of our data - it was a challenge to gather and sort and check our product information. The one area that I wish had a bit more depth was the structure - we have products that come in different sizes, materials and colours and had to choose which was the dominant field when establishing the relationships between products. But it's not a big deal - the Plytix team was able to advise how best to make that happen.

Alternatives Considered

Sana Commerce, Dynamics 365 and Akeneo Product Cloud

Reasons for Switching to Plytix

First, I would say price. But once we delved into our needs, we realised that we are just starting on our journey and wanted to start with a system that would grow with us and not overwhelm us with features that we didn't yet need.

Pros

It has really helped us organise our product data which will help us get our new products to market quicker whilst containing a lot more informative data. There is lots of help available either directly from the team at Plytix or video tutorials available online.

Cons

If you are setting up a Magento channel there is a module that needs to be purchased from Wyomind. It takes a bit of setting up with mapping of attributes but there are videos and online help sheets from Plytix to help.

Alternatives Considered

Pimberly PIM and Akeneo Product Cloud

Reasons for Switching to Plytix

It had everything we required at a competive price

Pros

User friendly. Easy way to update information. Alot of configuration and connectivity options.

Cons

I continue using the application and I have not found a contradiction to its use

Pros

easy to use features. We started using it in a short time and all our colleagues understood clearly how to use it.

Cons

No administration levels. It's too easy for anybody which has access to the system to delete also accidentally important data in each record.

Pros

Our company used to be on Salsify, and when our leadership told us it was too expensive to keep paying for, I was incredibly worried that we would lose all of our capabalities that we needed in a PIM/DAM. We found Plytix, which not only has the same capabalities as Salsify, but more capabalities -- all for about 25% of our Salsify cost. I cannot recommend Plytix enough (and, in fact, have recommended it to several people already).

Cons

The Shopify publishing can be a bit tricky (at least, a bit trickier than the Salsify publishing into Shopify).
