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.

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

"It is a scalable solution."
"The features that are core to Salesforce including documentation and the variety of integrations available are most valuable."
"The solution gives very detailed information to track the progress of the opportunities, like the status of the opportunity and for how long you’ve been in touch with the customer for this opportunity."
"The solution is quite stable."
"There is a good community of developers for the platform."
"Salesforce Commerce Cloud is quite robust and can do many functions. The solution enables extensive personalization. It provides accelerators tailored to your website, simplifying deployment."
"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."
"The pipeline and lead management features are the most valuable."
"Some of the most valuable features are its personalized offering, promotion engine, and customer support module."
"SAP Hybris provides us with all of the e-commerce features that a client could need."
"The tool has good performance."
"The simple steps for configuring your checkout processes, as well as the promotional engine, are the most valuable features of this solution."
"We have found the B2B, B2C and D2C very valuable."
"Hybris Commerce's most valuable feature is the simple integration with ERP."
"The tool supports multiple currencies."
"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

"They should provide integration with social networking sites."
"The performance of the solution has room for improvement. We sometimes experience some delays."
"Multi-tenant infrastructure is a blessing and a curse."
"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."
"If your organization has a nonstandard or niche business model or audience, the fast nature of the solution may not be a good fit."
"There is always room for improvement with any solution."
"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."
"Salesforce Commerce Cloud should integrate more seamlessly with various systems, providing full order tracking from entry to delivery."
"The dashboards for this solution could be improved."
"A public cloud solution of this software would open great possibilities."
"They have just started to work with the cloud, but they only support Microsoft Azure."
"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."
"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 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."
"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."
"They could include additional types of payment implementations. Right now they are just providing CyberSourse."
"The support team should improve the response time."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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