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.

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.
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."
"It is a very flexible solution."
"​Ability to quickly add content and manage products along with associated web content easily."
"The features that are core to Salesforce including documentation and the variety of integrations available are most valuable."
"The pipeline and lead management features are the most valuable."
"The filters are very useful, and easy to customize. it's very easy to operate."
"Commerce Cloud's best features include sales service and cloud marketing."
"I have found the list creation and dashboard customization features valuable."
"I believe Salesforce Commerce Cloud is better than Microsoft; it is a more comprehensive solution."
"The tool supports multiple currencies."
"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 have found the B2B, B2C and D2C very valuable."
"The tool has good performance."
"Some of the most valuable features are its personalized offering, promotion engine, and customer support module."
"SAP Hybris Commerce is a very advanced e-commerce platform compared to other platforms such as WebSphere Commerce, Oracle Commerce, and others."
"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 like that this solution gives our B2B clients a lot of functionality straight 'out of the box', meaning that they don't need to carry out a lot of configuration to be able to use it."
 

Cons

"The theme editor that was recently added is wonderful, but it not totally intuitive."
"It is similar to ATG, but some features can be exchanged between the 2."
"Needs better access to code and customizability of the solution."
"The connection with Marketing Cloud should be improved."
"The community is very closed source. If you don't buy it, you won't be able to learn it."
"Salesforce's technical support is not as good as Elastic Path."
"Being able to customize everything in general to our specific needs would be pretty awesome."
"Multi-tenant infrastructure is a blessing and a curse."
"We would like more interaction from Salesforce about new versions."
"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."
"They have just started to work with the cloud, but they only support Microsoft Azure."
"The learning curve is high."
"The WCS management or content management is not that great."
"It is very expensive to implement, which is why many companies who can't afford would normally move to Salesforce or Magento."
"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."
"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."
"The stack needs to be improved; they need to start using more new technologies."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I give the price of the solution a three out of ten."
"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."
"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 licensing works on a per-user basis."
"I don't know how much the solution costs per user, but I know it's our biggest cost in the company."
"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."
"There are no significant upfront license costs."
"The price is quite high."
"I don't know the cost, but it can be expensive."
"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 product is expensive. I would rate its price a seven out of ten. The solution's licensing is yearly."
"The price is too high."
"The solution is expensive."
"This is an expensive solution."
"The solution is very expensive in Turkey."

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…
