Unified complex B2B commerce has streamlined workflows and now supports faster global ordering
While there are no specific pain points, HCL Digital Commerce's complexity does require a unique architecture, and it would be beneficial to have an integrated architecture that simplifies end-user integration with other AWS cloud services. Additionally, an improvement in speed would be advantageous; for example, if orders could be processed within a minute instead of three to four minutes, we could boost selling time.Optimizing for sales productivity to minimize processing time while maximizing sales time would also be valuable. Regarding challenges, the complexity of the structure due to large product catalogs, complex pricing, multiple brands, and regional requirements does create challenges. Reducing these complexities through HCL Digital Commerce's features could streamline our operations, particularly regarding ERP, CRM, payments, security, performance, and scalability.

Useful for B2B retail operations and order management but UI is bland and old
The UI might not be the fanciest, and since it's an older system, our customers are sometimes hesitant to invest in it. They're even considering moving to new e-commerce solutions, maybe even something custom-built in-house. It's quite basic and bland compared to today's modern web developments, which have enhanced user experiences. We're just providing support services to our customers, and they’ve been exploring a move to Oracle Commerce. However, there's some concern about Oracle Commerce's future, especially since support for version 11.3.2 is set to end in March 2025. We haven’t heard back from Oracle regarding any plans to extend support. We’re just keeping the lights on for now, but a transformation might be on the horizon. We have done some proof of concept with Oracle Commerce.

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 very mature product, it has a lot of features, and it can also be very easily customized in order to reach goals or features that are not available, but mainly the fact that it's a very mature platform with all major features that are normally required by the clients is most valuable."
"The promotion engine is definitively one of the highlights, facilitating precision marketing and dynamic segmentation based on shopper insights and behavior, with business users able to set up promotion and segmentation rules simply by dragging and dropping the component icons."
"The most valuable solution is that it allows you to adapt it according to the customer's needs."
"I haven't faced any issues with the product's stability."
"Has all the modules needed for an order management solution."
"HCL Digital Commerce has automated customer self-service and contract pricing, allowing approximately 80 to 90% time saving per order."
"The tool is easy to use and flexible. It is flexible enough to tailor to your requirements."
"Oracle ATG Commerce is the leading enterprise eCommerce solution with around 50% of Fortune 100 companies using it."
"The best thing with Oracle Commerce is the personalization engine, and then the integration with one of the best search engines, which is Endeca."
"The tool is useful for B2B retail operations. The e-commerce platform is helpful for our customers when searching for products they want to buy. They can look up items using part numbers or product descriptions, which helps them find exactly what they want. We rely on the search functionality a lot."
"The tool's most valuable features are its integration with various scanners, OCR capability, and ability to populate the system with a lot of information. We use the workload automation feature occasionally."
"Merchandising and promotion features are very good."
"The features that help us to change the product and pricing are good. They give us enough flexibility to manage this application."
"The merchandising part is where the business user adds and configures permissions, which is quite important for us."
"The product is really good. It is a robust tool that can scale up in any business, including some multi-million businesses."
 

Cons

"Their support is not amazingly good. We had a lot of trouble moving from version 8 to version 9."
"HCL Digital Commerce should improve its integration capabilities with other platforms."
"Another area of improvement is the user-friendliness of the back office stuff. This issue is still valid, and it is still a problem, but I know they are currently working on it."
"The product catalog is an area that needs improvement. It is forcing us to look and test other solutions."
"While there are no specific pain points, HCL Digital Commerce's complexity does require a unique architecture, and it would be beneficial to have an integrated architecture that simplifies end-user integration with other AWS cloud services."
"The tool has a really rigid structure, so it is not something that has the simplicity to adapt to newer environments in a fast manner."
"Lacks option to purchase individual modules."
"The Product information Management is very basic, and the template for front-end coding could be improved."
"One drawback is that the tool could be more agile in adding new features. Since the product is very big, new features aren't added continuously. However, it already meets most of our requirements for day-to-day use."
"Oracle has a cloud solution, but some on-prem features are not available in the cloud version."
"The only issue with the tool is that it is not cloud-based."
"There should be some sort of native integration. All the integrations that we build are completely customized. There should also be a mechanism for user surveys and product reviews. As of now, I don't see any feature related to these. It must have a provision for doing customer surveys and allowing customers to give product feedback. If I have a customer who purchased something on the website, there has to be a mechanism for a company to capture the feedback. This feature is currently not there. Similarly, if a customer wants to do a review of the product, there is no native feature for that."
"In order to scale, you need more hardware, so the product itself is not scalable."
"So far, with Oracle ATG, I haven't seen any good cloud-based solutions."
"Our impressions from testing out ATG is that it requires a lot of customization and professional services, which is not what we were looking for."
"Its licensing cost could be brought down."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"For our companies and our users, the price is quite high."
"HCL Digital Commerce's licensing costs are annual. It is expensive."
"I believe that HCL Digital Commerce is one of the most expensive products on the market."
"The product's pricing is moderate. We use a license module."
"Oracle ATG is an expensive solution."
"The tool's licensing is costly. Finding the right talent to manage it is also a challenge."

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…
