Unified B2B and B2C setup has streamlined complex catalogs and real-time customer pricing

Adobe Commerce offers many features, such as the customer group, which is the best common feature for B2B. Additionally, we have implemented both B2B and B2C in a single instance, meaning B2B also uses the same code as B2C. That type of flexibility is only available in Adobe Commerce. The customer group feature helps my organization by allowing us to create specific customer groups for catalogs. For example, we have three companies—Company A, Company B, and Company C—and we need to create three customer groups: Company A customer group, Company B customer group, and Company C customer group. We always assign a number of products belonging to that particular customer group, ensuring that if a customer logs in with Company A, we showcase only those products available for that particular customer. If Customer B has a different set of products, we choose the Customer Group B and assign the catalog for that specific customer. This is the best feature for company-specific catalog management. Adobe Commerce has positively impacted my organization as I am a developer here and work in a service-based company that handles multiple client requirements. In terms of work and all, Adobe Commerce has created a lot of opportunities for the organization, improving revenue and performance substantially. Regarding how Adobe Commerce has improved revenue or performance, I believe that having multiple projects in Adobe Commerce translates into substantial revenue. I do not have specific metrics, as I am a developer and do not handle that type of data.

Platform has supported global rollouts and has delivered faster, more reliable commerce journeys

In my view, SAP Commerce Cloud can be improved as it currently feels too heavy, with customers nowadays expecting solutions to be deployed in months rather than years. This is the most significant issue with SAP Commerce Cloud, which caters primarily to Fortune 500 companies and falls short for mid-sized businesses. I do not have a clear idea on which specific feature they should implement to better serve the smaller business market, despite their several past attempts. Regarding potential improvements for SAP Commerce Cloud, I am not the best person to discuss deployments as I lack a DevOps background. However, I believe the primary enhancement should be in their vision and communication of product benefits. Personally, I have found SAP salespeople to be less friendly compared to their Salesforce counterparts. Their inflexibility regarding discounts and offers might be an area for improvement.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The ecosystem includes thousands of vendors who are providing third-party add-ons."

"The platform allows us to easily integrate with service vendors, such as delivery services and payment systems."

"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"

"The customization capabilities of Adobe Commerce are great."

"It provides AI features, including a tool called Insight for AI-driven product recommendations."

"The platform provides an easy way to customize its features."

"The solution's valuable features are the presentation layout and ease of use. When we have new people joining the team, it is simple for them to get involved very quickly."

"We have the ability to resolve service issues since Magento enables us to invest more time in dealing with custom requirements."

More Adobe Commerce pros

"SAP Commerce Cloud enabled them to deliver features much faster and build more digital native experiences, which everyone is waiting for."

"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."

"We work on B2B projects, and it is the most efficient software solution for B2B."

"The user interface can be customized."

"Hybris Commerce's most valuable feature is the simple integration with ERP."

"In SAP Commerce Cloud, I find the integration and the back-end part most valuable because they can be easily integrated with the SAP product catalog and CRM and so on."

"I chose this out-of-box E-Commerce solution because it helps you start up your E-Commerce business in a very good amount of time since Hybris already provides you the end-to-end flow with minimum customization. You can quickly go live with the customer."

"SAP Hybris Commerce is a very advanced e-commerce platform compared to other platforms such as WebSphere Commerce, Oracle Commerce, and others."

More SAP Commerce Cloud pros

Cons

"More technical knowledge is required to keep a Magento website running smoothly compared to many other platforms like OpenCart."

"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."

"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."

"Adobe Commerce can be improved by working on some features, as the system currently takes too much time, particularly during cart and checkout processes."

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

"The solution takes a huge amount of time to complete the root cause analysis."

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

More Adobe Commerce cons

"The stack needs to be improved; they need to start using more new technologies."

"Sometimes it's slow in accessing products. Also IMPEX upload was complex."

"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 product should be accessible to all types of customer, not just the big ones."

"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."

"Hybris is not currently using microservices."

"Like every other SAP solution, it is very heavy."

"SAP Hybris does not employ the latest technologies. For example, they still use GSP, Tag Files, an older version of Java, no microservices, and no Amazon Web Services."

More SAP Commerce Cloud cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 product offers an open-source version, which is free. There are licensing options for Adobe Commerce's cloud version."

"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 cost of implementation is cheap compared to other solutions."

"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."

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

"The solution is expensive."

"The product is expensive. I would rate its price a seven out of ten. The solution's licensing is yearly."

"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."

"I don't know the cost, but it can be expensive."

"The solution is very expensive in Turkey."

"The price is too high."

"This is an expensive solution."

"The price is quite high."
