JP
Easy to use, robust and fast checkout capabilities, and offers a wholesale interface for B2B customers
There is very little that needs to be improved, as BigCommerce is very proactive and is continuously releasing new updates. They are very effective at modernizing their product, but since no product is perfect and can always improve, a few things that I think BigCommerce could do better is to create a better reporting module for merchants. There are apps available that help with this in their app store, but it would be nice to have this built-in for things such as running reports for sales tax reporting. The theme editor that was recently added is wonderful, but it not totally intuitive.
AP
A fully integrated powerful tool for managing businesses and providing seamless integration with internal systems
I would rate the initial setup of Oracle iStore as easy. The deployment process typically takes about three months, with five phases covering various aspects like Oracle requirements, solution deployment, cloud integration, and pricing. We have about twenty people dedicated to maintaining Oracle iStore, with roles including network engineers, cloud network specialists, systems administrators, and business management.
Saleem Shar - PeerSpot reviewer
Easy to set up, and extremely scalable, but is expensive
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. This makes the process quite complex, especially when migrating from one version to another. For example, I have been using SAP Commerce versions 18 and 19.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"BigCommerce has an excellent B2B interface, which gives merchants the ability to sell with different price books and the ability to segment clients."
"I appreciate Oracle iStore for its simple implementation and user-friendly interface. It has positively impacted our business processes by integrating seamlessly with internal systems like finance and logistics, enhancing efficiency across different areas of our operations."
"The simple steps for configuring your checkout processes, as well as the promotional engine, are the most valuable features of this solution."
"The tool has good performance."
"Its dashboards, business features, and user-friendliness of a lot of business interfaces are valuable. We work on B2B projects, and it is the most efficient software solution for B2B. The B2B accelerator is very much appreciated by our customers because it has some use cases that are ready for production. For some projects, we proposed the SAP Hybris solution because it was sufficient for use cases related to product management and data quality. With other e-commerce platforms, we would have needed integration with another product information management software."
"We have found the B2B, B2C and D2C very valuable."
"Hybris Commerce's most valuable feature is the simple integration with ERP."
"The tool supports multiple currencies."
"SAP Hybris provides us with all of the e-commerce features that a client could need."
"SAP Hybris Commerce is a very advanced e-commerce platform compared to other platforms such as WebSphere Commerce, Oracle Commerce, and others."
 

Cons

"The theme editor that was recently added is wonderful, but it not totally intuitive."
"I find Oracle iStore to be beneficial overall, but there are areas for improvement. Specifically, I'd like to see better SQL implementation and support for training and integration issues with other solutions that are not compliant."
"The stack needs to be improved; they need to start using more new technologies."
"It is very expensive to implement, which is why many companies who can't afford would normally move to Salesforce or Magento."
"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."
"The WCS management or content management is not that great."
"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."
"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."
"We would like to be able to easily add functionality to the CMS, such as instant messaging. This would make is much more usable, especially in B2C scenarios."
"They could include additional types of payment implementations. Right now they are just providing CyberSourse."

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…
