Plytix

Vorteile

Die Filterfunktion in Plytix ist sehr dezidiert, sodass spezielle Produkte im Bulk bearbeitet werden können. Wir haben durch den Einsatz von Plytix eine enorme Zeitersparnis in der Bearbeitung und Aktualisierung von Produktinformationen festgestellt und sind sehr zufrieden.

Nachteile

Das Handling von Assets ist für unsere Bedürfnisse noch nicht ganz ausgereift. Bei dem Upload und Zuweisung von Assets zu Daten sollte eine Mehrfachbearbeitung möglich sein.

Plytix hat den besten Mehrwert geboten. Ist von den Features her sehr gut und hat die für uns passenden Funktionen.

Vorteile

Das Beste an dieser Software ist, wie einfach es ist, deine eigenen Anpassungen für deinen Geschäftsprozess oder dein Produkt vorzunehmen. Sie ist flexibel, und das Team entwickelt ständig neue Funktionen. Wenn du also etwas vermisst, ist es wahrscheinlich schon in der Entwicklung.

Nachteile

Wenn du dich in dieser Branche nicht auskennst, wirst du wahrscheinlich auf einige Hindernisse stoßen. Aber es gibt nichts, was ich jetzt an Plytix ändern würde. Das Team engagiert sich so sehr für die Community und die Nutzer, dass es sehr gut gepflegt und aktualisiert wird.

Vorteile

Der eigene Lernprozess gestaltet sich mit der Software sehr einfach und es kann schnell eigenständig gearbeitet werden. Für unseren Bereich ist das Erstellen von Katalogen und Produktdatenblättern eine große Arbeitsentlastung und ein toller Mehrwert der Software. Durch Plytix konnten wir nochmal einen tieferen Fokus auf die Produktdatenpflege legen und wir haben einen viel besseren Überblick über das Sortiment.

Nachteile

Wir arbeiten erst seit ein paar Monaten mit dem System. Grundsätzlich ist die Schnittstelle zu anderen Plattformen aber nicht ganz so einfach.

Vorteile

Die Einfachheit der Einführung und der Nutzung.

Nachteile

Die Relations sind etwas mühsam zum machen. Eine Relation ohne Mengenangabe wäre noch super.

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu 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.

Vorteile

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).

Nachteile

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

Vorteile

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

Nachteile

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

Vorteile

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

Nachteile

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

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Plytix

It had everything we required at a competive price

Vorteile

It is so intuitive and fast to edit products in bulk, its saved us days in onboarding products to Shopify, Amazon and other marketplaces. Updating sales prices or bulk adding a shopify tag takes just minutes now. Love the asset management, uploading images is lightning fast compared to our old system and completely removed the need for an FTP server to store marketplace images. Creating the outbound templates for each platform again saves hours and is the cherry on top.

Nachteile

The limitation on number of outbound channels was a bit of a sticking point, but they gave us a great deal on a few more when signing.

Pimberly PIM

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Plytix

The pricing of Plytix was a much better fit for our organisation as the e-commerce side of the business grows.

Vorteile

Great service from implementation and account management, solid data management solution. Flexible and new features regularly added. Large bank of information available online.

Nachteile

I'd personally make brand portals slightly more customisable from a branding perspective.

Vorteile

We have a huge catalogue of products of over 9000 products, what I like the most about it is that it has gathered all the scattered data we have in drive, ERP system in one place, now we have all the data of the products, all the digital assets, all the marketing material, pricing , stock and the files and technical data sheets of the products under one umbrella and in one place. It made our lives much easier and made the work much faster, it takes now a minute to export all the required data we might need for our wholesale clients or for our retails and e-commerce customers. We also love the brand portals and how it made life easier to our agents in different countries, as now they have access to all our data by minute from their phones, it's very practical and easy to use, I love PIM! :)

Nachteile

The only thing that we are facing issue with is the filter/search, where coming back to the previous page won't keep the searched result or filter saved, and we need to redo it all over again, we believe Plytix team are already working on it, hopefully it'll be solved soon :)

Vorteile

The flexibility of the platformThe support, always helpful and efficientEasy to use and understandGood integration with marketplaces and other platforms

Nachteile

The limitation in the Free version (without channels)Some adjustments needed in user managementThe product date sheets could be more customizable and dynamic.

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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

Vorteile

The Team at Plytix are amazing the functionality of Plytix is easy to maneuver however there team are always available for training and help which is there best asset.

Nachteile

The layout of the page could be improved

Vorteile

The value of their product and services is absolutely the best! Plytix is the first PIM database we have purchased but before, we tried all the top PIM solutions in the market and we could not meet their prices. The Plytix gave us the best offer for implementing the PIM system. Once we went through the onboard process which was a breeze thanks to their support group, there was some learning curve of about one week to get things rolling. Once understanding the way Plytix operates, it was very easy to use. We took about two weeks of tweaking the data columns as how we wanted it and from then on, it's been well used. We work with close to 2,000 skus. We have uploaded all the data we can imagine onto Plytix. And exporting the data was very easy too but it would require some setting up and tweaking involved. We are using plytix to upload our product database, images, files, and custom prices for customers that established a unique pricing structure. Plytix also has catalog feature which can export certain products or all the products as a pdf. This can be used for catalog or individual tech sheets. It is still in need of updating some of this feature. They are constantly working on improving the programs and features which is why we will stay with them long term. We are most satisfied with their products and services.

Nachteile

Cons about the Plytix is when creating an export job, we had to add each data column one by one instead of "add all data columns". The exporting requires choosing which data columns to export. The PDF catalog feature is limited as we cannot choose the size of the product image. Cannot generate a PDF price list with small thumbnail image of the product because it will usually show one item per one page. Once an attribute is created, it cannot change type. If an attribute is number type, you cannot change to text type after it's been created. You will have to find alternate way. By duplicating, recreating attribute with new type, and then deleting old attribute. There is no "undo last import". It would be great feature to have. When browsing all products, the thumbnail view of images are too small. When selecting what items to put in the catalog, you can select the entire page but the page is limited to 100 items. So there are 2,000 sku, you have to flip through 200 pages and make selections per page instead of selecting by filter, or have select all and then unchecking items not to show.

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

It's really easy to use and customer service/support is by far the best I have ever experienced in any industry. If your a beginner or Pro you'll be able to use this software at ease.
The software it's self is really adaptable and no same portal would be the same.
It's enabled us to centralise our data and organise all of our files.
It's helped us with data, customer service (We've set up customer portals), staff knowledge and much more.

Best of all it's saved us time and given our staff better/easier product knowledge.

Nachteile

Not a con as such - but feeds/channels work better with some competitor software. For example on a competitor's platform you can upload their data sheet and map the data quicker. You have a drag and drop system to match the data attributes.

Vorteile

It is easy to use and learn. The Bulk fuction is perfect.

Nachteile

I can not bulk photos on products with lots of sizes.

Vorteile

Everything is simple and clear to navigate through. I can easily search for a product, download all images, and other documents with a simple click, and never have to worry about not finding what I'm looking for.

Nachteile

The font is kind of boring to look at but all else is superb.

Vorteile

Easy to use and understand
User-friendly
Importing and exporting a lot of information is very very easy.
Have a great team when you need support
Price is the best for its service

Nachteile

Vorteile

Plytix is very user friendly! It is a great way to keep your data organized and they are always adding new tools and tricks to make it easy to use.

Vorteile

1) Easy to Use/ quick access to all our data
2) Catalog feature
3) Being able to link the database to our systems for quick update of the information.
4) Also none of it would be possible without the plytix team :D

Nachteile

These are not cons rather suggestions
1) I would like to be able to give access to many people of our plytix where they should just be able to view the database and download and not edit or delete
2) Should have a place where i should be able to take a download of the entire database of information.

Vorteile

As a company, the main use and best benefit is to have the unlimited filter options and combinations. What allows us to generate reports.

Nachteile

It does not have pre-established report options or automatic reports, which indicate the % of completion of a product.

Vorteile

Plytix it is exactly what we were looking for to better organize our data & content and manage our digital assets. It is easy to use and straight forward. It has just what we need without being overwhelming.

Nachteile

We are still in the early stages of using this platform but we have not had any issues. Support has been great when we have had questions.

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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.

Nachteile

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

Vorteile

Knowledgeable Expertise: [sensitive content hidden] customer service rep displays an impressive depth of knowledge about Plytix's products and services. She always answered all my questions thoroughly and provided valuable insights into best practices, which helped me make informed decisions.

Nachteile

This is not possible for me to state the cons as I did not experience any.

Vorteile

Plytix is an amazing tool that is helping us change our information and data paradigm at Roots Radicals. We were looking for the best tool for this purpose and Plytix is certainly proving to be what we need.

Nachteile

Some features, like the creation of PDF data sheets per product used to exist but no longer are available. I'm looking forward to when they activate them again.

Vorteile

We have a large amount of products that we often need to redo, add to, change. Plytix makes this task extremely easy and straightforward. It's a terrific tool, and the customer support is amazing.

Nachteile

I have not used Plytix for anything but product descriptions, and those are super easy with Plytix. I would like to see more font choices, however.

Vorteile

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

Nachteile

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.

Vorteile

PIM helps us to manage product information and cut down on the manual process we need to do especially when we need to integrate the product information into our other platforms.

Nachteile

We have needs to separate our products by packaging into the product level. Therefore, we need to have a distinct function so that when we want to sync to other platforms can only sync as a master product. Now we need to sync to an intermediate platform doing the distinct function before syncing to the end target platform.

Vorteile

The speed and ease I can edit / amend product data and how this feeds in to the channel uploads. Means our product information on our websites are always up to date. I also use brand portals frequently and it makes customers lives so much easier which in turn helps me.

Nachteile

There's nothing I strongly dislike about Plytix, there are just a few more things that I would like. I would prefer if the e-catalogues and product sheets could be a bit more editable, at the minute the sections you can edit are just a bit rigid.

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

Brand portal customisation is still not quite right.

Gründe für den Wechsel zu Plytix

Price levels that are suitable for a small business - but still with all of the main functionality. We have a limited number of SKU's <500, paying the large sums for the other players didn't make sense, their pricing tiers lumped us with companies that had 10,000 sku's and multiple web platforms.

Vorteile

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"

Nachteile

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

Vorteile

User friendly interface makes it easy to house all of our product information, from technical specifications, to marketing content, files and assets and product grouping. The portal is great for sharing with our external parties.

Nachteile

It can be easy to override information and lose data sometimes. The changelog helps here, although you cannot reverse a bulk action.

Vorteile

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

Nachteile

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

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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.

For the price this product is amazing and the technical support is first class although to be honest I've not needed to use them much.

Vorteile

Plytix is so easy to set up, use, and adjust to our ever changing needs.
The ability to map the headings over for each channel has saved us hours of work when migrating from a Magento 1 to a Magento 2 site.

Nachteile

There are some features missing that would be useful for our company, however we know these features are in the works and hopefully will be coming soon!

Vorteile

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

Nachteile

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

Vorteile

Having been strung along for weeks by a competing company prior to receiving an astronomical quotation, I opted to have a look at you guys. In which I was convinced you were for me, within an hour, on the basis of the functions meeting our requirements, and you guys there being brutally honest of what you can, can't and will be able to do. Favourites being ease of use in general, the functionality of catalogues, and how helpful people have been on the live chat.

Nachteile

I'm unable to create user accounts for my colleagues until I can select who can and cannot amend product details - I have been informed that this is being worked on however. Additionally, if I'm in 'All Products' and apply a quick filter, I'd like to be able to go in and out of products on that list without having to apply the filter each time or saving as a list (maybe just be able to click on a product and open it in a new tab?). No altering of the pdf look/layout beyond the covers, which in testing I find sometimes don't print full page (couple inches of white on the right and bottom despite correct spec, while other times it works fine).

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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

Vorteile

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.

Nachteile

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.
