What differentiates inriver PIM from other similar products?

Service makes all the difference, and we had a dedicated team that we met with regularly that was always willing to help, which was a big plus for my small team (speaking in past tense because I have left the company I used the inriver at).

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

The ease of use, I was not an IT professional but was able to customize the system myself with the help of our inriver support team and their online community.

What do you dislike most about this product?

We had difficulties with our integration to Salesforce (only in the form of media, we had to manually uploaded media from inriver to Salesforce B2B). This, however, was not inriver's fault but more so a Salesforce difficulty, and they were working on a fix as I left the company.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Don't be intimidated by all of the features, your support team, the documentation and training materials, and the community are super helpful.
