AP
A fully integrated powerful tool for managing businesses and providing seamless integration with internal systems
I would rate the initial setup of Oracle iStore as easy. The deployment process typically takes about three months, with five phases covering various aspects like Oracle requirements, solution deployment, cloud integration, and pricing. We have about twenty people dedicated to maintaining Oracle iStore, with roles including network engineers, cloud network specialists, systems administrators, and business management.

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.
Saleem Shar - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"I appreciate Oracle iStore for its simple implementation and user-friendly interface. It has positively impacted our business processes by integrating seamlessly with internal systems like finance and logistics, enhancing efficiency across different areas of our operations."
"It has a customizable checkout experience, customizable homepage, everything can be customized."
"The pipeline and lead management features are the most valuable."
"Salesforce offers the best features and functionality, which are developed and refined over many years to provide a highly customized e-commerce experience."
"The ease of customization is valuable."
"Not having to worry about maintaining one's own infrastructure."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"If you have a client and they want to have an e-commerce project that is based on solid principles, you don't need too much time to develop it."
"The user interface can be customized."
"Hybris Commerce's most valuable feature is the simple integration with ERP."
"SAP Hybris provides us with all of the e-commerce features that a client could need."
"We have found the B2B, B2C and D2C very valuable."
"I chose this out-of-box E-Commerce solution because it helps you start up your E-Commerce business in a very good amount of time since Hybris already provides you the end-to-end flow with minimum customization. You can quickly go live with the customer."
"It's the best tool on the market and is a complete e-commerce system for product management. For instance, if the customer has a log enterprise level product, they can manage it here."
"The tool supports multiple currencies."
 

Cons

"I find Oracle iStore to be beneficial overall, but there are areas for improvement. Specifically, I'd like to see better SQL implementation and support for training and integration issues with other solutions that are not compliant."
"The community is very closed source. If you don't buy it, you won't be able to learn it."
"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."
"Multi-tenant infrastructure is a blessing and a curse."
"We would like more interaction from Salesforce about new versions."
"Being able to customize everything in general to our specific needs would be pretty awesome."
"Pricing is a disadvantage because it is expensive."
"The back office of Salesforce could be more user-friendly."
"The support team should improve the response time."
"The WCS management or content management is not that great."
"The stack needs to be improved; they need to start using more new technologies."
"A public cloud solution of this software would open great possibilities."
"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 have just started to work with the cloud, but they only support Microsoft Azure."
"Hybris is not currently using microservices."
"It is very expensive to implement, which is why many companies who can't afford would normally move to Salesforce or Magento."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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…
