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.
Vijay Subramanyam - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers seamless integrations and effective architecture for retail operations
Salesforce Commerce Cloud offers effective architecture, ease of integration with third-party systems, and environments to test web store functionalities. Users can manage the site independently with the administration panel and benefit from features like easy marketing submissions, discount codes, and integration with Apple Pay and Bazaarvoice for reviews. The platform is also robust, with managed infrastructure by Salesforce.

Quotes from Members

"The conversion of opportunities and leads to accounts is one of the most valuable features."
"I have found the list creation and dashboard customization features valuable."
"​Ability to quickly add content and manage products along with associated web content easily."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."
"Salesforce Commerce Cloud offers a personalized experience tailored to each B2B client. It allows for easy customization according to specific customer needs. Additionally, once a customer finalizes a product with pricing, negotiations and settled prices can be logged into the transcript for future reference and reuse. These features make the platform highly adaptable and efficient, providing a seamless and customizable process tailored to individual preferences."
"Commerce Cloud's best features include sales service and cloud marketing."
 

Cons

"The theme editor that was recently added is wonderful, but it not totally intuitive."
"Needs better access to code and customizability of the solution."
"The community is very closed source. If you don't buy it, you won't be able to learn it."
"There is always room for improvement with any solution."
"Pricing is a disadvantage because it is expensive."
"We would like more interaction from Salesforce about new versions."
"The connection with Marketing Cloud should be improved."
"In terms of application performance, it could be a bit quicker."
"Being able to customize everything in general to our specific needs would be pretty awesome."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The licensing works on a per-user basis."
"The licensing of Salesforce Commerce Cloud is something that will depend on the customer's usability. For us as a company, we are in a position where we will be paying the premium for licensing. If we go to the customer who is seeking a B2C solution quickly, we will definitely look at the pricing when it comes to the user base and receive good discounts. Discount is something that depends on the volume and that is where we need to work on. It is a little sensitive market when it comes to licensing procurement. There are some good competitors."
"The pricing is fairly reasonable."
"Initially when we installed Salesforce, we thought that it was a bit pricey, but I think for the value that we're getting, it’s suitable."
"Salesforce is not a cheap solution."
"I give the price of the solution a three out of ten."
"I don't know how much the solution costs per user, but I know it's our biggest cost in the company."
"I think price-wise, it's a little bit expensive. It can be made cheaper for smaller businesses. I understand that for larger businesses, it can be a payable amount. But for medium to smaller, it is kind of costly, and it might be difficult for them to pay."
