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.

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