KatanaPIM

Avantages

KatanaPIM offers many additional features that may be of interest to many organizations, including the ability to add a workflow and very comprehensive specifications + specification groups. Once you understand the system and have worked with it several times, it is easy to use.

In addition, communication with the team at KatanaPIM is good and they are always willing to help. They always look for an appropriate solution for every situation and try to think with you.

Inconvénients

The amount of functionality is a plus, but potentially overwhelming for some (inexperienced) users. Documenting and bundling all the information needed to fully understand the system is something that could be improved.

However, KatanaPIM has been working hard on this in recent months, and the portal where all the information can be found has already expanded considerably in a short period of time. So I expect this to be remedied in the near future!

Avantages

Katana PIM is a very user friendly PIM system. One of the benefits is that it really simple to manage all of your product data, no matter how many experience you have with PIM. It is very fast and the search functionality is awesome. Customer Support is responding very quickly and these guys are very kind.

Inconvénients

I haven't run into issues at the moment, so it's hard to tell the cons about Katana PIM right now.

Avantages

- Easy set-up with onboarding
- Good customer service with fast reaction times
- Basic but it has what you need for a smaller company

Inconvénients

- Image grouping doesn`t work properly
- Workflow needs updating, doesn`t reflect what`s been done - just that it hasn`t been done
- User roles, Permissions rules and acces control list is an absolute mess which is near impossible to navigate and understand.
- Document/attachment section is too basic, no way to forward.
- Can be slow at times, as if servers are slower at some point. Hard to pin down what it is.
- Many bugs that impact working in Katana or just "features" that don`t do/work how you`d expect it to work. For example, adding a single spec without a value will remove that spec from the product.

Avantages

- easy to use
- Easy to implement with the right CRM tool of course
- easy ux/ui

Inconvénients

- not much room for self/external development
- on some parts it’s not evolving as much as the industry/internet/online marketing demands
