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.

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.

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's price is reasonable."
Information not available
"Salesforce is not a cheap solution."
"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."
"The licensing works on a per-user basis."
"I give the price of the solution a three out of ten."
"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."
"The product is expensive."
"There are no significant upfront license costs."
