Plytix

Amazing Value for the Price

Comments: The ability to add thousands of products onto a website quickly

Pros:

It allows us to use a PIM without having to pay tens of thousands of pounds a year and get all of the benefits associated with scaling up the business. It was very easy to set up and we had our first connection with our website within a few days.

Cons:

There are many little features that could be improved but the main one is the inability to change imported values in a spread sheet (such as appending text to a column) and all work must be done in the spread sheet first. They have computed attributes for their exports, but would be good to have something similar for their imports too.

Great tool!

Comments: In comparison to a previous tool I was using, Plytix is a huge step-up. It poses all essential features of a data management tool. I am happy that we have it

Pros:

It is user-friendly, easy to manage, has almost all features you need for data management, will help you feed an online shop with all related assets and attributes in one place. Great for building a "single source of truth"

Cons:

You cannot define specific user roles regarding attributes they can edit.There is no data quality control. If you made a mistake and didn't notice it, it will not be reported

I use PIM daily and am satisfied with the experience so far. Previous user of Salsify.

Comments: Plytix PIM helps me organize and work within my business's inventory quickly and easily.

Pros:

I like that PIM is the kind of product that can be adapted to meet the needs of my business and that it organizes the information for each product quickly and easily.

Cons:

Plytix lacks crucial NEXT BUTTONS that make moving from one product to the next in a group a process that can either be a. smooth and easy or b. a repetitive task of jumping back and forth in the same two pages repeatedly.

Fast, Intuitive and fun to use - the rest is a bonus

Comments: Loving it, has helped our business pull product information into a single place.

Pros:

Onboarding is easy. I can think of something and then navigate how to do it in plytix with ease. The whole PIM idea is new to our company, so the onboarding piece is very important. Other departments only loosely buy into the idea and won't sit through training sessions. The software is so common sense they can hit the ground running.Oh and the flexibilities of the filters is great too.

Cons:

Brand portal customisation is still not quite right.

Plytix is awesome

Comments: My overall experience with Plytix is very good, it is easy to use and teach others.

Pros:

Plytix is very compatible with other systems which makes the integration with other apps work fantastic. PIM is very easy to use and teach others.

Cons:

It is annoying that you can not BULK more photos at once.

CFH Review

Pros:

Easy import / export Routine processing of assets Asset storage Unlimited attribute creation Dynamic PDF generation + real time E-catalogs

Cons:

Lack of private usage (it's all a shared workspace)

Indispensable, and just works

Comments: We have a lot of products, an exceptionally large number for our small store. Many of the products have lots of variants. When we first tried to open our Shopify store, getting all those products live, complete, and updated, was impossible. Plytix has made product management systematic.

Pros:

I tried a few PIMs before we settled on Plytix. Plytix Just Works. Integration with Shopify, our most important platform, is complete and bug-free. Also, support is fast, and the support folks really know their stuff.

Cons:

I haven't learned how to use Plytix Asset manager. We use it, but I'm sure we could use it better.

Amazing Experiance!

Comments: I'm not the type of person who writes reviews about products or services, but for this software, I am happy to share my amazing experience and recommend it to all the companies who are searching for such product.

Pros:

Literally, everything is perfect, the account manager support, the PIM system itself, the way I can create my own catalogs in just a minute, the brand portal, the assets management, the data management, the channels.This system saved me a huge amount of time listing my product on any e-commerce platforms, sending updated daily lists to our customers, or creating catalogs.

Cons:

it's hard what to not like about this system, but If I'm going to pick something, it's going to be the filters that keep resetting the filters on the brand portal every time I click on a certain product or go back to the previous page.But they promised me that it's going to be solved soon, as they're bringing new modifications to the brand portal, and I hope it will be done very soon.

All your Product Data in one Location

Pros:

Plytix has been a great system to allow us to consolidate all of our product data. We run mulitple websites and supply feeds for numerous resellers. We constantly found updating information painful with everything disconnected. Plytix fixed this with all data now stored within and feeding out to our various systems.

Cons:

The api could be a little easier to use. Have struggled to get image urls to export with bulk product data.

Plytix a good alternative for Akeneo

Comments: My experience with Plytix is very positive. Are always ready to help. Easily accessible. A disadvantage is that the development sometimes takes a little longer or is not relevant for our organization.

Pros:

The best feature is that it is a complete web-based (SAAS) solution and a great support department.

Cons:

The disadvantage is that it is a Saas solution and there is not always the option of customizing

Plytix great system for tech challenged person like me

Comments: Super pleased with this platform. Love how our team can work on products and it synchronizes everything. No more multiple locations for product development!

Pros:

How it synchronizes across platforms! Solid one source of truth!

Cons:

I’m not as technically experienced so I’m learning how to use it still.

Great help setting up Plytix - Saves so much time doing certain jobs now

Comments: Great overall experience, was offered a lot of help with the set up of Plytix and great customer service help with anything afterwards.

Pros:

The ease of setting up products and pulling it into different customers product sheet formats. Saves so much time.

Cons:

There is a lot of information you take in and so many pages, it can be a bit daunting to use if you don't use it regularly.

Review

Comments: The hole website is based on the information we have in plytix, and it is easy to put in the information.

Pros:

It´s easy to use and it has all the qualities i search for.

Cons:

There is not so many problems. The only thing is that you can not bulk pictures

Life Simplification via a PIM

Comments: Beyond making my own life easier, Plytix has opened new doors. Moving from a siloed e-commerce model to a product-data ubiquity model has freed us from the development overhead and delays previously incurred whenever a new data-model required fulfillment. Now we can move fast. We can be nimble, testing new opportunities at nearly zero cost. Experientially, the Plytix Team has been remarkable to collaborate with. Everyone is an expert. Everyone seems to be sincerely invested in our successes and willing to dig-in to respond to our specific needs. It's an impressive team they've built.

Pros:

The centralization of all product information into a single, easily maintainable, data-source that is both extremely flexible and very robust. The ease with which I'm able to then live-feed our product data to internal and external systems is also remarkable. Over all, I like best that Plytix simplified my life. We now have an "authoritative source" for all product data and it's portable to wherever we need it. A very impressive platform.

Cons:

Developers in the USA that have experience with Plytix is somewhat limited, as compared to something large like SAP Product Content Hub. This is somewhat mitigated by the fact that the Plytix PIM is intuitive enough that the learning curve is very short.

Plytix Index

Comments: We are using Plytix Index as the base to relaunch our new e-commerce websites and allow us to integrate with more than one marketplace in the future - We have come to realise after 12 years of selling online our data was poor and needed to be organised to build for the future.

Pros:

The one thing about Plytix Index I like is the Ease of use of the software - unlike alot of other PIM's I dont have to be a programmer to get it to work, Its quick and efficient and will form the base of our continuing development for our e-commerce business. The support guys are amazing and will do almost anything to help.

Cons:

Unfortunatley I have personally tried to run before I can walk, I want the features of a $30000 p/year PIM for Almost free and the cost per SKU can work out expensive if you have a lot of products like us - The developers are continuing to work on new features which in time will make Pytix Index something to be rivaled.

Intelligent solution for small money

Comments: before the introduction of Index we had stored our product data in .XLSX tables.... Horror. With Index I can now retrieve our product data from anywhere, share it with customers and with Index we are very fast with our products on the market.
Our wish is to be able to generate beautifully arranged and visually appealing data sheets with Index.

Pros:

The ease of use, data entry and open database structure is great. Plytix Index is best suited for PIM beginners as well as advanced users. Of course not everything is perfect but the Plytix team is very customer oriented and takes customer needs into account when developing the software.

Cons:

A PIM must fulfill the following four tasks for me: - input - Processing - Analysis - output The first three makes index good, the output still has improvement potential. The feed export in .CSV, .XML and .XLSX is great but the catalog PDF export function is still not sufficient today. The customer must be able to create his own PDF catalog or Index must offer at least a selection of templates. Translated with www.DeepL.com/Translator

New possibilities

Comments: We were looking for one system to put all our data in and connect this system to all our channels, and Plytix provides the necessarty tools to fulfill our needs.

Pros:

Very userfriendly software with unlimited bulk import options which saves a lot of time and is very efficient. The customer service very patient and helpful and is alway available.

Cons:

So far, the system doesn't have any restictions. The uploading of all the images and renaming the images and re-importing the images seems a little circuitous.

Looking Good

Comments: We have a complex and incredibly diverse product data, that needs to be edited in very specific and different ways to serve a number of different channels, Plytix seems to be able to help us to achieve a working structure to manage all this, our product data is by nature extremely difficult to set up and we are more than happy with the assistance we have had and continue to have from our support staff at Plytix

Pros:

The knowledge and honesty of the staff I have dealt with, the release cycle of new features

Cons:

Takes some time to understand how to get our data to fit, but I suspect this would be true whichever PIM solution was used

Powerful platform which requires some learning first

Comments: Single, consistent repository of product information

Pros:

High flexibility in customizing fields, multiple images, media, etc... Easy to import/export big quantities of data Super supportive and knowledgeable support team

Cons:

Difficult to manage the Product/Variant duality and ensure consistency for the shared fields Quite complicated adding a lot of fields in the Feeds (unlike Catalogs which is very easy) Feeds/Catalogs could be merged, allowing for both file export and web visualization It would be nice to have preconfigured ecommerce flows (e.g. Shopify, Amazon, etc...)

Since we started January, Plytix has been everything we've hoped for and more!

Comments: Hours saved on item setups, saving time for us to work on other side projects!

Pros:

I like the way we take advantage of using your feeds and catalogs. We can personalize everything we do based on each customer and it saves us hours for each build/setup we have for them. I also like the layout of the software - it's very easy to maneuver around and it's very visual, making it easy to work on something with Plytix open on another screen. Lastly, I love the customer service. Your service is a big reason we decided to go with you because you

Cons:

The thing we like least about Plytix was not being able to make lists with a bulk search, or search for products using multiple skus. Because we have item setups of over 100 some times, it is a pain making lists by searching for one SKU at a time.

Very satisfied

Comments: Plytix Index is a great way to organize content and product related files, but is still in development. It has all the basis functions you can ask for, but lacks sometimes in speed and advanced functionality. Their great customer support makes up for it though!

Pros:

- Very easy to use - Great customer support - Always operational - Clear about updates - Very flexible

Cons:

- Still in development, advanced functies missing, like calculated attributes - Some minor annoyances, like that there is no option to set and/or rules for filters.

Great for a lot of product

Comments: Customer service is amazing!!! They help whenever you need them, even with video chat to really help understand how to use everything!

Pros:

It’s is great to store all of your product information and when you have many items it makes it great to have it all in one place

Cons:

Some of the set up can be tedious when you have many items

Great Database

Comments: Didnt understand it initially, after training much clearer

Pros:

Good to have all info and images etc in one place

Cons:

Hard to grasp at first, but after training with [SENSITIVE CONTENT] from Plytix this was much clearer

Nice Akeneo free and online alternative

Pros:

It's free and I can use it online. It serves my PIM needs.

Cons:

I would like option to create variations automatically, and the e-catalog use is not clear and easy, must be self-learned. Should be easier to download CSV / XLS file.

An ease to use

Comments: So far so good! Support and all the guys over at Plytix are really easy to get on with and always seem willing to help with expert support.

Pros:

The ability to create PDF catalogues on the fly

Cons:

Could use some more customisation features overall
