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

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

Pros

"It is a scalable solution."
"The filters are very useful, and easy to customize. it's very easy to operate."
"I have found the list creation and dashboard customization features valuable."
"Not having to worry about maintaining one's own infrastructure."
"The pipeline and lead management features are the most valuable."
"I wouldn't say they have artificial intelligence, as it's not really AI, however, the data analysis that they provide to you is good."
"I believe Salesforce Commerce Cloud is better than Microsoft; it is a more comprehensive solution."
"It is a very flexible solution."
"The features that are core to Salesforce including documentation and the variety of integrations available are most valuable."
 

Cons

"They should provide integration with social networking sites."
"The solution should have more and faster reporting, as well as better performance."
"Being able to customize everything in general to our specific needs would be pretty awesome."
"This solution could be improved by providing additional artificial intelligence capabilities that are available out-of-the-box. It would be useful to have automatic forecasts using AI."
"Salesforce's technical support is not as good as Elastic Path."
"There is always room for improvement with any solution."
"There could be more product integration in the ERP space."
"Four years ago, we linked Salesforce Commerce Cloud with Outlook, and this was a nightmare because a contact in 20 opportunities is a common scenario."
"If your organization has a nonstandard or niche business model or audience, the fast nature of the solution may not be a good fit."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's price is reasonable."
"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 product is expensive."
"The licensing works on a per-user basis."
"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."
"I don't know how much the solution costs per user, but I know it's our biggest cost in the company."
"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."

What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for Salesforce Commerce Cloud?
I am not involved in the pricing or licensing details, so I cannot provide specific insights into the setup costs.
What needs improvement with Salesforce Commerce Cloud?
One of the main points for improvement right now is still the user interface, the front end of Salesforce, because I only have one layout theme, which is the main B2B Commerce layout, while differe...
