Akeneo vs. Pics.io vs. Salsify

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.

If you are looking for an affordable solution for logos, photos or videos this is one of the best solutions we have found. It handles several file types and provides a more affordable option than other DAM services. If you are looking for an enterprise DAM solution this is probably not what you are looking for but it doesn't pretend to be that.

Besides the obvious need for a lot of technical resources in the form of technical support and specialist hours, and also from probably a long timeframe of deployment time. The resulting tool might have the power to change your organization as the Product data "source of truth", which means in other words, to have all your product data and management in a single reliable tool. Looking forward this change will definitely pay out and make it possible to update product offerings and respond faster to changes moving forward.

• It needs more ability to limit viewing or editing of certain attributes by user or user class. I understand this is in the pipeline.
• Responsive design. It is not usable on a phone (various iPhone n+ models). I NEVER prefer to work in Salsify on my phone, but it would be nice to be able to in a pinch.

The team is very helpful and the product is very useful to us.

I am only giving it a 9 because they are working on streamlining the uploading process to make things easier on our end - once this is complete I would most likely give it a 10!

Helpful onboarding support and also a very relaxed introductory demo and trial period. The support team walked me through all stages of linking our Drive account and adding assets. The online support site has a ton of resources and helpful explanations. Email support was also a big help to get us started.

The team is extremely friendly and helpful. They came in for an in-house training and schedule calls to walk us through new features, etc.

Pics.io has a more approachable setup and pricing structure for our needs. It also uses a familiar online storage setup for an easier learning curve. We also didn't have to pay for a higher storage tier that we wouldn't end up needing. The other services were definitely in the running but the ability to use our existing Google account was a big plus.

Salsify was the clear winner when it came to a simple interface that allowed a multitude of uses for the organization. The others weren't structured in a way that we could easily allow new users in and were intimidating at the start. The syndication abilities and continual additions of new channels were one of the biggest selling points.
