AKENIFY / DETAILED FAQ
Questions answered before you hand over the platform.
Explore the details behind managed Akeneo Community Edition hosting, free legacy migration, custom development, and how Akenify works with your team.
01 / MANAGED SERVICE
Platform and operations
01What does “fully managed” include?+
Akenify manages the operating layer around Akeneo Community Edition: infrastructure, runtime, search, database, cache, queues, workers, monitoring, backups, maintenance, and capacity guidance. Your team remains responsible for product data, enrichment, governance, and commercial workflows.
02Do we still need an internal DevOps team?+
You do not need a team dedicated to the day-to-day operation of the Akenify platform. Your developers or implementation partner can continue working on Akeneo configuration, integrations, and business requirements while Akenify operates the infrastructure and supporting services.
03How do monitoring and backups work?+
Monitoring and backups are part of the managed operating layer. The exact retention, recovery expectations, environments, and response boundaries are confirmed in your plan so they fit the importance and behavior of your catalog.
04Can our developers or agency keep working with Akeneo?+
Yes. We establish a clear working boundary so your developers or agency can continue delivering application and integration work without taking ownership of the underlying platform operations.
05Do you offer accounts for agencies?+
Yes, absolutely. Agency accounts let you manage all your client environments from a single place. Agency partners can also earn a share of the recurring revenue from clients they bring to Akenify, with commercial terms agreed directly with each agency.
02 / MIGRATION
Legacy versions and custom work
01Is migration from an older Akeneo version really free?+
Yes. When you choose Akenify managed hosting, the agreed standard migration from an eligible older Akeneo installation is included without a separate migration fee. We confirm the existing version, data, integrations, and customizations before work begins.
02Which Akeneo version will we migrate to?+
The target is the latest appropriate Akeneo Community Edition version for the agreed migration path. We assess the current installation first because older versions can require intermediate upgrade steps or compatibility work before the final cutover.
03What is included in the free migration?+
The standard scope can include technical assessment, migration planning, target environment preparation, application and data transfer, validation support, and coordinated production cutover. The final included scope is documented before migration starts.
04What happens if we have custom bundles?+
We review every custom bundle for compatibility with the target Akeneo version. If a bundle must be adapted, refactored, or rebuilt, a small additional cost may apply to that custom work. Any cost is explained and approved before implementation begins.
03 / PLANS AND GROWTH
Trials, integrations, and pricing
01Can we try Akenify before committing?+
Yes. New customers can run Akeneo free for a full month to evaluate the platform and the managed operating model. We confirm the evaluation environment and its scope before the trial begins.
02Are Shopify and BigCommerce connectors included?+
Akenify provides out-of-the-box connector options for Shopify and BigCommerce. We configure the appropriate connector as part of the agreed environment; unusual data flows or custom commerce behavior may require separate integration work.
03Why are plans custom-priced?+
Akeneo workloads vary by catalog size, indexing behavior, users, imports, integrations, environments, and operational expectations. A custom plan keeps the infrastructure and service boundary aligned with the workload instead of forcing every customer into the same package.
04What happens when our catalog grows?+
We review capacity, queue throughput, search and indexing behavior, database performance, and operational headroom. When the workload changes, we plan a right-sized adjustment with you instead of waiting for growth to become an incident.
