Customization supports complex needs, though speed challenges persist

We don't use the reporting tools from Adobe Commerce as we have our own reporting infrastructure. Adobe Commerce can be complex in terms of ease of use, as it's such a large platform. From the development side, you can customize everything, but that does require substantial resources. When working on Adobe Commerce, I would want Adobe Commerce specialist developers. Although it's all built in PHP, and there are many PHP developers, I would want Adobe Commerce specialist developers working on it because they have knowledge about what to customize and more importantly, what's best not to touch. There are always site speed issues with Adobe Commerce. It seems to be an ongoing issue with performance. When comparing it to Shopify, you don't tend to need to worry about that, but with Adobe Commerce, it remains an ongoing issue. Additionally, there are all the upgrades, which can be quite painful, including the regular patches, both on the open-source and licensed version, on-premises. The initial setup for migrating to Adobe Commerce from another e-commerce platform is not straightforward; it's a very big job. The pricing for Adobe Commerce varies dramatically. Quite often, you see their list prices and then you are able to negotiate very hefty discounts. My understanding is that they're moving away from heavily discounting. Although our license where I am at the moment is heavily discounted, I'm hearing that they're trying to move away from that practice.

Connecting web sales with existing operations has improved, but layout and integration need work

The most valuable features in Shopify are the ease of integration. The downside is that the layout is not adaptable as someone would expect. For some customers, Shopify is not a viable option because it is not adaptable enough. Adaptability is mostly related to the layout and specific things related to the business branch. I have not been a partner or reseller of Shopify. I belong to a company that delivers architects who help customers find the best product and support them in implementation. In many cases, it is not only software that needs to be installed; organizations also need to adapt. For instance, if you really want to sell through the web, you need to be capable of setting up an organization to deliver products the next day or faster. Many organizations are not capable of doing this, so they need to change procedures in their warehouses and sales operations. It is not only about the software.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"The most valuable feature in this solution I have found to be that I have the ability to find all the analytics that I need, and it has very good integrations with social media platforms and other tools."

"As compared to platforms such as ATG or Commerce Cloud, its interface is easy to use, Magento also provides seamless administration for business users, and you can leverage the out-of-the-box features of Magento, which is very valuable for startups."

"I think it is adequate because Adobe Commerce has many software options; with Adobe-related software, I can purchase every software from here and I can use it, so I think it is perfect for using software."

"Integrated Payment Gateway International Payment Ready Cash On Delivery and Bank Deposit Email Notifications Integrated Social Media Product Presentation Verify Orders Easy Navigation Personalized Shopping Experience 3rd Party Extensions Showcase your products Advanced Sort and Search Simple Check-out process Secure Shopping SEO Optimized Enable/Disable Products Multiple Stores"

"Magento is generally considered to be the most advanced e-commerce program available in the market."

More Adobe Commerce pros

"The variety of options available, like customization for quotes or any sale module I require, is available in Oracle Compass Cloud for customers."

"The most valuable features of Oracle Commerce Cloud are it provides all sorts of administrative essentials for our commerce. It helps deliver products from production from the supplier to the customer."

"Oracle Commerce Cloud has improved our organization because it provides us with a lot of options, and we only have to do some configuration or customization, as it gives lots of features for sales."

"The variety of options available, like customization for quotes or any sale module I require, is available in Oracle Compass Cloud for customers, and it has increased our sales."

"The solution is highly customizable for our store’s e-commerce needs. We don't need to write any code as all the required features are already inbuilt. The front end can be easily customized.

Cons

"I am still playing around and trying to catch up with the latest version to understand all the features, but I do feel that its CMS can be much more streamlined. They provide a what-you-see-is-what-you-get editor, which many customers prefer, but based on the implementations that I have done for more than seven years, I have seen that many times, it is run by the marketing team, and they don't find it very comfortable to use. They feel uncomfortable managing and changing the content. As a business user, you need to have at least basic knowledge of HTML, which you cannot expect from all marketing teams. Some companies or organizations have that competency, but many organizations, especially in the Middle East, have a very small team, so it becomes quite difficult for them. This is a common challenge that I have seen across the platforms. Magento is better and easier than Oracle Commerce Cloud, but Shopify is much easier than Magento. A layman or my 10-year-old kid can go ahead and set up a store in Shopify in probably 45 minutes, which is not the case with Magento. Elasticsearch has really been a pain. It takes a toll on the performance. Starting with version 2.4, Magento requires Elasticsearch, which has been causing a lot of serious performance issues. We had a client in the US who was running a promo, and they lost a subsequent number of orders over one and a half hours. They were on the enterprise platform, not open-source. The team had to open a ticket with Magento. Its performance needs to be upgraded, or some kind of guidelines have to be provided for the setup. It looks like even Magento has no clue. When you go through the answers given in the online community, it seems that in spite of having the hardware configurations that they suggest, it is not performing at the optimal level. It should also have a better way to measure performance. Performance measuring has to be much easier. Many times, we see CPU utilization going up and down. We see spikes without any reason. Therefore, we need a better performance management system."

"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."

"It would be great to have a way to communicate properly with the team that builds the platform because you can get stuck at certain points, and it's hard to search for solutions on forums and tutorials."

"At the moment, Magento is stuck in the middle of a nobody-wants-me market."

"I'm not a technical person, but we had some kind of late response in page loading, let's say page load speed."

"The limited availability of experienced developers can make the product costly to maintain."

"The analytics are good but there is room for improvement. There are some limitations due to new regulations causing customer data time delays."

"The price of Adobe Commerce is very high, actually. If it were possible to have a free version or a limited version, that would be good for users."

More Adobe Commerce cons

"There are times we have some errors or failures in Oracle Commerce Cloud that could be improved."

"Oracle Commerce Cloud could improve the accessibility features."

"Some accessibility improvements would be beneficial in their components."

"ATG is not evolving much, and there's a huge license cost."

"If you consider an enterprise-level application with a lot of customization, Shopify can be problematic to use."

"The pricing plan is in need of improvement."

"Many of our clients complain because Shopify is costly and not an open-source."

"There are some areas where improvements could be made. Currently, the platform only supports three product variants, and having the option for more variants would be beneficial. Additionally, we have to rely on external plugins for reviews and ratings, which could be more convenient if they were built-in."

"For some customers, Shopify is not a viable option because it is not adaptable enough."

"I have many clients that want to sell their products to the wholesale market, and Shopify currently does not have that kind of feature."

"The formatting within the user interface has its limitations."

"The order processing and saving of the changes for the product should have automatic functioning."

More Shopify cons

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."

"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."

"We transitioned from the platform's commercial license to the open-source version, which helped optimize costs without affecting our sales."

Information not available

"The tool's pricing depends on how big your online store is."

"This is the only platform to enforce its own transaction fee unless you use Shopify Payments Content, which doesn’t automatically reformat when you switch themes."

"They have various plans including ones that are priced at $29 per month, $79 per month, and can go up to $300 per month."

"The pricing of the solution is economical. The enterprise version is more expensive, however, we do not use it. We pay for the license on a monthly basis and there are payment gateway charges associated with transactions, typically around two percent or as applicable."

"Depending on the client's requirements, they can choose either the basic plan or the premium plan."

Badrilal P., Shopify Developer at Freelance, says, “Shopify can be used without any coding knowledge; just drag and drop and configuring, those are the basics. It's a great solution for people who are in the initial phase of their business. They can use it to easily set up a store that includes product info, product pricing, add to cart, payment methods, gateway integration, menus, contact us forms, and inquiry forms. Anyone can set those features up in one day using Shopify. That's a huge benefit for our customers.”

PeerSpot user Tushar K., Co-founder at Dotmagic Infotech/Shopify Expert at Dotmagic Infotech, mentions, “The most valuable features are the core structure and backend structure. Our clients are easily able to manage their sites at the backend. Shopify provides an easy to use service at the backend that includes product upload, customer service, team settings, and team customization. It is all very easy to handle.”
