Chose inriver PIM
inRiver [PIM] seems to be a mid-pricepoint program. The UI is certainly the highlight but the functionality seems to lack when it comes to mass-maintenance of large amounts of information that reaches across Items/Products/Categories/Assets.

User Testimonials

Likelihood to Recommend
It's well suited to an environment which has multiple users working on product information at the same time. For smaller organisations, it would be easy to segregate products for the different users to focus on their span of work, but this has been somewhat tricky in a multi-company environment like ours where we have different users working on the same / similar products. Overall though, we're happy with the product.

inriver PIM is well suited for growing companies that might have multiple brands, categories, languages and a complicated data model. inriver PIM is more than a syndication service, which is important to differentiate from other so-called PIM providers. I specifically like the ability for ecosystem collaboration across multiple technology platforms. However, inriver, is a complicated system and requires an implementation partner, which could price it out of the range for some companies.

When I compared these other PIM platforms, I found several were not true PIM systems. Although they solved for some significant syndication challenges, they did not have the ability to build a relational databased across products and categories. Furthermore, the interface is much more user-friendly and the ability to engage the entire team with workflow is a big plus!
