What Pimcore actually does

Pimcore is a multi-channel experience and engagement management platform built on PHP. It functions as a content management system designed to handle digital content and customer data across multiple channels. You can deploy it using Docker to centralise your digital assets and publishing workflows.

Best fit: It suits technical teams that need an open-source PHP framework to manage complex, multi-channel content and digital experiences.

Worth knowing: The platform requires significant server resources and has a steep learning curve due to its extensive feature set and architectural complexity.

Deployment notes

You will typically need to configure persistent storage for user uploads, set up a separate relational database, and use a reverse proxy to handle TLS termination.
