Unified commerce platform has streamlined direct sales and integrated promotions and billing
One of the most valuable features in Salesforce Commerce Cloud is that it helps me avoid storing credit card information, with a vault function taken care of. Salesforce provides this vault feature, enabling me to bill my D2C customers directly and also feeding data into my Marketing Cloud and Services Cloud. For visibility features in Salesforce Commerce Cloud, I might need to schedule a separate meeting as I can only share certain levels of information. Experience-wise, it is very good; the platform helps identify promotional opportunities and integrates well with Salesforce's Trade Promotion Management. The main benefits Salesforce Commerce Cloud provides are significant process improvements. If we did not have it, I would need to establish a separate D2C portal such as Magento Commerce and integrate with Salesforce for some data. Having Salesforce Commerce Cloud is essential as it integrates very quickly and is part of the entire ecosystem.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a scalable solution."
"It has a customizable checkout experience, customizable homepage, everything can be customized."
"The platform is capable of handling thousands of orders per hour and Demandware take care of the scalability and hosting infrastructure, so you do not have to worry about that."
"The product is easy to use."
"The main functionality I find valuable in Salesforce Commerce Cloud is the fact that it shares the same database as Service and Sales Cloud, which allows me to develop more quickly in terms of integration, because I already have all the accounts, contacts, leads, sales, and invoice data already on one platform, so I don't need to have many more integrations if I already have Salesforce as the core."
"The features that are core to Salesforce including documentation and the variety of integrations available are most valuable."
"The ease of customization is valuable and allows us to customize business process engines and set up data models efficiently."
"The ease of customization is valuable."
"The solution provides us all the information we need about sales and reports."
 

Cons

"They should provide integration with social networking sites."
"Being able to customize everything in general to our specific needs would be pretty awesome."
"The dashboards for this solution could be improved."
"If you have followed the best practices you will not have a problem, however you are allowed to change the caching for different pages and that may cause a lot of problems with the performance."
"Salesforce's technical support is not as good as Elastic Path."
"The performance of the solution has room for improvement. We sometimes experience some delays."
"Demandware is strong across the board."
"The cloud services, the information security services, and the compliance support services."
"It is similar to ATG, but some features can be exchanged between the 2."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's price is 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."
"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."
"There are no significant upfront license costs."
"Salesforce is not a cheap solution."
"The licensing works on a per-user basis."
"The pricing is fairly reasonable."
