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.

Uses data-driven insights to improve workflows and highlights a need for simpler automation tools
Salesforce Sales Cloud can be improved in several areas. First, the UI is an area for enhancement. Even though they've launched Lightning, it's clunky at times with page load speeds. It also needs to be made extremely more user-friendly. For new people using Salesforce Sales Cloud, there is a steep learning curve. Additionally, giving non-admins the ability to make changes on the fly is something that I feel is necessary. Currently with Salesforce Sales Cloud, you need to have a consultant. It's hard to build the flows or workflows. Making it easier for that end-user who's not so technically minded to help themselves is essential. I choose seven out of ten because I think you need a consultant or a consulting company to help you build it out. Certain changes should be made much easier and more user-friendly where an admin can do it. The automation processes need to be much simpler. If you're looking at other tools out there, for example SalesLoft or HubSpot, it's much easier to build those workflows and do automation.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Oracle ATG Commerce is the leading enterprise eCommerce solution with around 50% of Fortune 100 companies using it."
"The merchandising part is where the business user adds and configures permissions, which is quite important for us."
"The features that help us to change the product and pricing are good; they give us enough flexibility to manage this application."
"The product is really good. It is a robust tool that can scale up in any business, including some multi-million businesses."
"The most valuable features are all the promotion capabilities and the tiered-pricing capabilities."
"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 features that help us to change the product and pricing are good. They give us enough flexibility to manage this application."
"The best thing with Oracle Commerce is the personalization engine, and then the integration with one of the best search engines, which is Endeca."
"There are many extremely useful features."
"Salesforce is a very powerful tool which helps us to build that through tools like Process Builder or Flows, or even write code to achieve these scenarios."
"The most valuable features are the reporting and the custom codes."
"The tracking and monitoring of daily activities within each account is the most valuable aspect of Salesforce Sales Cloud. It allows for staying informed about ongoing activities, ensuring comprehensive visibility into the progress made within each account on a regular basis. Additionally, the plugins that are available, such as ZoolInfo are useful."
"Easy to understand and logical GUI."
"I've found lead management to be the most valuable feature of Salesforce Sales Cloud. It helps capture, track, and manage leads throughout the sales process. The tool is easy to learn."
"Salesforce's user interface is easy to use, and the reporting is good."
"The ability to easily change layouts, create customized fields and customized reports makes my job so much easier."
 

Cons

"Its licensing cost could be brought down."
"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."
"In order to scale, you need more hardware, so the product itself is not scalable."
"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."
"There should also be a mechanism for user surveys and product reviews."
"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."
"If they could have convenient APIs into the other parts of the corporation that I wish to share data with, that would be helpful."
"The monitoring is very good, but it could be better."
"CI/CD is the biggest room for improvement. Deployment between environments and configuration."
"The technical support is the one area that Salesforce needs the most improvement. They are slow to respond, and in many cases you don’t get the help you need."
"With the solution being very vast, they need to prioritize features."
"There is TOO much functionality and it is far too complex."
"Salesforce Sales Cloud does not integrate with Slack or WhatsApp, for example. As a result, there is no easy way to directly log a conversation with a client that occurred on one of these platforms."
"In the next release, I would like to see more integration."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool's licensing is costly. Finding the right talent to manage it is also a challenge."
"Oracle ATG is an expensive solution."
"The product's pricing is moderate. We use a license module."
"The tool's pricing is based on the number of users. It has a different pricing for 0-100 and another for 100-500 users."
"There is a license required to use this solution and the price is expensive. It could be reduced."
"We pay a yearly subscription fee."
"The price is fair."
"Its license is expensive. It is probably a lot more than smaller solutions. It is around £500 a month, but I don't know how many licenses we have."
"Sales Cloud is quite expensive."
"Sales Cloud is expensive."
"Not the cheapest"

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…
