What differentiates Akeneo Product Cloud from other similar products?

Ankeno's open source platform gave us the change to implement the PIM with no upfront cost. It gave us the chance to run the software through all the paces and ensure it was going to work for un in the real world and not just a demo.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Very user friendly interface and an extensive user manual that is easy to navigate when there are questions or issues to resolve.

It would be better if there were a few more built in features that are available at extra cost

Do the research and compare the features. We found for the money it is hard to beat what Akeno can offer out of the gate and being open source it is extremally easy to customize to your specific needs.
