Perfect for onboarding, retention, win-back, and VIP nurture campaigns where customer behavior and timing matter. Excellent when you need to react instantly to customer actions across channels.


Example: A shopper abandons their cart and immediately receives a push notification followed by an email with the exact items they left behind.

inRiver [PIM] is pretty easy to use. I can see a company with a more narrow product selection benefiting from this PIM. The challenge comes with the more SKUs and categories the company offers. Without our 3rd party implementor creating specialized imports for us, we would be having a difficult time managing mass data updates.

Pros
Bloomreach
  • The product recommendations engine allows for us to create a personalised experience for every customer across the 3m emails we send each month. This ensure that our customers remain connected to our brand.
  • The customer data platform attached to Bloomreach Composable Personalization Cloud provides an all-in-one solution for our business intelligence needs. Allowing up-to-date purchasing, behaviour, and engagement reporting from our email to website activity.

Cons
Bloomreach
  • While Importing the offline data, sometimes the auto detection is failed to detect the csv file
  • While we import with wrong mapping, even after pressing escape before the import starts, its not cancelling the import. it start running. It would be great if it stops the import
  • it would be great if we receive email for successfully finished imports too

  • Missing the ability to be able to right click an item/product to open in a new tab
  • Mass Asset/SKU management is not an out-of-the-box feature
  • Shared folders area - few options to create a specialized area that you can block other users from deleting

We are extremely satisfied with Bloomreach. It is a central and indispensable pillar of our personalization and data-driven marketing strategy. The platform provides us with unparalleled scalability across 27 countries and guarantees high availability and stable performance, even when working with an enormous volume of data.The fact that the platform is intuitive and allows a wide range of our teams (from CRM to UX) to work effectively with personalization significantly reduces our dependence on IT support and accelerates campaign deployment.Given the robustness of the architecture and the positive results we are generating across channels, renewing the contract is a logical step to ensure our future organic growth.

Usability
Bloomreach
In my time working with Bloomreach Commerce Experience Cloud, I always liked to work with it. It is crucial that you get support from experts from the beginning to show you how to work with the vast amount of options and activities to choose from. The learning curve is also well-rounded because of its user-friendly interface and highly skilled customer support.

Reliability and Availability
Bloomreach
It has always been available with great response times. Honestly in almost 5 years there was like one outage and I have to admit that it was solved so quick that I don't even know if it's fair to even call it that. Bloomreach is extremely reliable, can't fault it.

ten out of ten, Bloomreach has revolutionised our marketing capabilities. It has allowed us to get real time data insights from our customers, and then put these into action. Previously it would be a very time consuming and slow process for us to get any sort of campaign out but not anymore, this has lead to increased conversions and revenue

Bloomreach is far superior than SFMC as that platform requires too much technical knowledge. Ometria is very good and I would say is quite similar to Bloomreach although I would say Ometria is a smaller company. Dotdigital is also very powerful but not more so than Bloomreach. This being said, Dotdigital and HubSpot does have telephone support which is amazing and something I would like to see from Bloomreach in future or at least shorter wait times for customer support live chat.

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!

Scalability
Bloomreach
there is an option of multiple projects per organisation, customers and assets can be copied across. Multiple sites can be managed in one project, different activities organized under initiatives. Splitting work into sensible units is therefore well possible. The billing is based on number of tracked and number of stored events, no package-based deals. It should therefore be well scalable from a small e-store to a large corporation.
