Analysts were quite surprised by the consistent and extensive functional depth in Pimcore’s open-source digital experience platform. Around 400 evaluation criteria such as implementation capability, market penetration, future viability, technology, etc. Pimcore’s holistic solutions approach that comes with MDM/PIM, DAM, CMS and e-commerce covers a large part of what enterprises require.
Pimcore has been screened in recent weeks by Jürgen Burger, the senior analyst of 'The Group of Analysts', an independent European market research company in the field of corporate digitization. Based on a detailed recording of up to 400 criteria, 4 Market Performance Wheels (MPW) were created. These MPWs are equivalent of the analysis carried out by companies such as Gartner, Forrester, and others, (only without the tendency to lean towards North American software vendors). TGOA undertakes intensive workshops to measure strengths and weaknesses consisting of in-depth interviews with a software vendor’s clients and partners. By evaluating integrators, in particular, allows informed decisions to be made based on the best combination of the software vendor and integrator. All Market Performance Wheels (MPW) and The Book of Analysts are available for free at tgoa.com.
Best results in technology and market penetration
According to the analysts, the strengths of Pimcore lie in the areas of sustainability (completeness of the vision, management team, development capability, international orientation) and technology (solution approach & integration, PIM function modules, basic system functions, output channels). We also achieved good results in terms of implementation capability (software deployment, project quality & support/training/documentation) and market penetration (industry/customer references, installation base, partnerships, license sales).

The MPW analyzes 4 core categories of business performance:
