The study “Professional User Rating 2021: Digital Solutions” puts ePages in the first place

Hamburg, 15 October 2020 – ePages, one of the leading providers of online shop software in the cloud, was named the best online shop platform by the study “Professional User Rating: Digital Solutions 2021”, in which 40 platforms were considered. Within the scope of the independent study, 1,500 users in the German-speaking market have been surveyed on digital solutions in over 60 categories, for example in terms of range of features and user friendliness. Among other online shop platforms including Shopify, Shopware and Adobe Magento, ePages comes out on top as the champion.

techconsult, the independent market research company of the Heise Group, has conducted the study to investigate the satisfaction of users with their online shop solution. Both in the solution and the provider ratings, ePages has ranked first place and was named as champion. In the provider rating, ePages scored especially well in the categories of sales partner network, innovation and online presence. In the solution rating, ePages achieved good to very good ratings across the board in the surveyed criteria. Users were particularly impressed by the simple administration, modern design and range of functions. When asked whether users would recommend the solution to others, ePages was the only platform to receive 5 of 5 stars.

Wilfried Beeck, CEO of ePages, says: “We have often been rated very favourably in expert comparisons. But the PUR study stands out as it is based on evaluations from real users. This is much more practical than the sometimes superficial comparisons by functionality. We are therefore extremely proud of the fact that we have been rated as the best platform here. Continuous feedback from our users, which has been incorporated into product development over many years, has made a significant contribution to this.”
