Build a tailor-made website with a user-friendly interface
Adobe Commerce is a robust e-commerce platform. It stands alongside industry leaders like Salesforce Commerce Cloud, offering a hybrid API model. It is competitively priced among its peers along with flexibility as an open-source platform. Additionally, Adobe Commerce provides AI features, including a tool called Insight for AI-driven product recommendations. Many clients continue to leverage this AI capability to enhance their e-commerce experience, making it a popular choice among businesses. It has an open architecture, user-friendly interface, and integration with other e-commerce tools. This adaptability extends to engagement-focused tools and services, ensuring a comprehensive and enriched customer experience on Adobe Commerce-powered websites.

Robust B2B, B2C and D2C eCommerce Solution
In terms of what could be improved, I would say the product search. There will be multiple criteria to search products and there will be a number of products in different categories. The question is how soon can I find the product which I'm looking for. The search can be improved. There will be security involved in your payment gateway while you are paying. Creating a purchase order. There are many areas that can be improved in the front end - the look and feel performance wise. The entire life cycle right from logging into the particular eCommerce website until you check out, how soon I can complete this entire process? Those are the three areas. There are many areas one can improve. I think we have the latest Hybris version from 2000, Hybris nine, something like that. Whatever features SAP is releasing, we are evaluating how they will be beneficial to the customer. If it is beneficial, then we are implementing. Apart from that I don't see anything extra.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Magento has changed over the years, but one of the most interesting aspects is that it gets the job done, and a vast community of experts is knowledgeable about the solution."
"The platform allows us to easily integrate with service vendors, such as delivery services and payment systems."
"The ecosystem includes thousands of vendors who are providing third-party add-ons."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its ease of integration with any upfront platform or CMS solution."
"On the plus side, when you build everything from scratch in Magento, you can do magic with it."
"The open-source PHP code allows our developers to customize pretty much anything on the platform, including allowing us to add some of the most complex shipping and inventory features for clients who have very specific, industry-related business specifications."
"We have the ability to resolve service issues since Magento enables us to invest more time in dealing with custom requirements."
"It provides AI features, including a tool called Insight for AI-driven product recommendations."
"The user interface can be customized."
"If you have a client and they want to have an e-commerce project that is based on solid principles, you don't need too much time to develop it."
"It's the best tool on the market and is a complete e-commerce system for product management. For instance, if the customer has a log enterprise level product, they can manage it here."
"Hybris offers a platform designed for speed."
"Some of the most valuable features are its personalized offering, promotion engine, and customer support module."
"The tool supports multiple currencies."
"The simple steps for configuring your checkout processes, as well as the promotional engine, are the most valuable features of this solution."
"Hybris Commerce's most valuable feature is the simple integration with ERP."
 

Cons

"The limited availability of experienced developers can make the product costly to maintain."
"The performance is a bottleneck in Magento and there is a lot of room for improvement in this regard."
"The industry has evolved, and the main focus is composable solutions because of which now SAP and Magento are forced to tackle various aspects of commerce, including commerce tools and pricing strategies, among other things."
"The solution’s performance could be improved."
"Magento 2 is only three to four years old, so it is an evolving technology. In certain areas on the front there were some glitches. For example, you can't do certain kinds of filters on data and you have certain speed issues on category pages due to the way it was written within Magento. Those were a few minor tweaks where we, as a community, found that to be a necessary scope of improvement. But I think they are working on it and hopefully they can solve these issues earlier than later."
"One significant drawback of Commerce is its substantial size, which allows for extensive customization but also elongates the development process for an e-commerce website."
"Should have a way to communicate properly with the team that builds the platform"
"More technical knowledge is required to keep a Magento website running smoothly compared to many other platforms like OpenCart."
"The solution is complex due to the rapid development of new features in SAP Commerce, which requires the changing of older technologies and migration to new ones."
"The stack needs to be improved; they need to start using more new technologies."
"A public cloud solution of this software would open great possibilities."
"Like every other SAP solution, it is very heavy. Also, the transition to the cloud is not very smooth because it is not really a SaaS solution. The upgrades are also not as smooth as you would expect from a complete cloud solution. It should have a product recommendation feature as well as a promotional feature. It should also have more personalizations."
"The initial setup was complex because it was a prime migration from the PrestaShop platform to commerce cloud, and it was very, very complex to migrate some data from one side to the other."
"SAP Commerce needs to have a credit limit like Salesforce. Currently, we have to do the coding and customization and then showcase it to the user."
"It is very expensive to implement, which is why many companies who can't afford would normally move to Salesforce or Magento."
"They have just started to work with the cloud, but they only support Microsoft Azure."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The price of the solution increased after Adobe acquired Magento. At this point, we know the price of Magento and SAP, and while they may have lower entry tickets, they are ultimately comparable."
"The product offers an open-source version, which is free. There are licensing options for Adobe Commerce's cloud version."
"We transitioned from the platform's commercial license to the open-source version, which helped optimize costs without affecting our sales."
"This solution is cheaper than some of its competitors. However, the price depends on which country you are in. In some countries, such as Greece or some Southeastern European countries, the price for the client can be expensive."
"Many implementations were open-source. We also had a couple of enterprise-level implementations, but I didn't have visibility on the licensing cost."
"The cost of implementation is cheap compared to other solutions."
"The solution is very expensive in Turkey."
"SAP Hybris is expensive, which is why only the large clients use it. At the same time, I think that the return on investment warrants it."
"The price is quite high."
"The price is too high."
"I don't know the cost, but it can be expensive."
"The product is expensive. I would rate its price a seven out of ten. The solution's licensing is yearly."
"The solution is expensive."
"This is an expensive solution."

WCS vs Hybris vs ATG - Feature Smackdown
They say "Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder", so if you are a purist in one of these technologies you would probably never agree to my comparison matrix, However these are my personal opinion, From my experience standpoint I have longest exposure to WCS Commerce Suite and the least with ATG…
