Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Intuitive drag & drop interface to easily build online stores, Good selection of themes & design customization options, Built in CRM, Email marketing & other small business tools.
  • Company and folks are always very helpful. We have cut our price book efforts by up to 75% with using QS software and support. Great product and people.
  • Having the ability to automate the process of spec sheets, price lists, and custom spreadsheets is such a time saver! This process went from weeks to days.
  • - Great product that enhances our business - Solution oriented in their approach - Responsive to requests and with support - Knowledgeable team and great to work with them
  • MarketStudio (formerly CatalogStudio) was easy to configure and load. Support was great; any time we reported a technical issue we received a response in less than a business day, usually in a few hours. The support team is fast, knowledgeable, and friendly.

Cons

  • Hosting & transaction fees can get costly for scales stores, Lack of niche ecommerce features compared to advanced platforms.
  • I really do not have any thing poor to say about product or people at QS. The only issue we have experienced is they can be slow to provide invoices for serves they have performed.
  • Online data entry can be a bit clumsy. But, using export and import functions help to streamline process.
  • - I can't think of anything. We have been very happy with their software.
  • Performance could sometimes be slow, particularly when large amounts of data are loaded. It is missing some advanced features compared to more expensive PIM solutions, but new features are being added with every release. If you have specific features you require, I would recommend getting a demo to make sure it has them all.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Centralized dashboard to manage product content across channels, Automated syndication of product data to different marketplaces.
  • Salsify has the ability, like any PIM, to store all essential product information in one centralized area. Product specs, copy, and assets are all located in one area and it is easy to generate a report for retailers and distributors to share this information. Salsify is integrated with our e-commerce site as well, which makes updating product info and assets simpler. Theoretically.

Cons

  • Setup & onboarding process complex & time consuming. lack of DAM capabilities for media management.
  • Salsify does not have the ability to store our information in a very intuitive way. We have to rely heavily on parent-variant structures which makes storing product information and assets tricky for users and it makes interpreting shared information more confusing for retailers/distributors/etc. On top of that, Salsify has not had great support. I participated in a full 8 hour training course, and it was such an insane waste of time. I felt for the person leading the class because he clearly had no idea what he was doing. Many of the pre-recorded videos meant to help onboard users and administrators are simply really LONG recordings of previously held live courses. These videos are very hard to digest and are not a good reference if you are looking to brush up on a particular subject. My personal interactions with Salsify staff has been limited, but I've only heard bad things from my colleges who work with them. I worked closely with our internal IT team while Salsify was being set up, and we regularly had to compromise on functionality despite the fact that we were told these needed functions would be supported when we were being sold the product.
