What differentiates inriver PIM from other similar products?

The easy of use and easy setup, I believe

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

That you can do a lot without the need for coding, and that there's additional purchases available to extend the use of inriver.

What do you dislike most about this product?

As far as I know, there's no way to administrate export settings without coding. Some of the templates used in for instance Content Store requires coding experience. All in all, you are able to administer and use the system without coding, but when you want to itnegrate or do more customized applications, you will need coding experience.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

It's a big system with lots of capabilities. If you require some or all of the extra functions, you should look into it. If you only need a PIM-system for data management, I would look for a cheaper option.

Pros

Reliable
Efficient Service
Effective Service
