Deena Dayalan K - PeerSpot reviewer
Global Leader Application Operations & Operational Excellence at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
Unified commerce platform has streamlined direct sales and integrated promotions and billing
One of the most valuable features in Salesforce Commerce Cloud is that it helps me avoid storing credit card information, with a vault function taken care of. Salesforce provides this vault feature, enabling me to bill my D2C customers directly and also feeding data into my Marketing Cloud and Services Cloud. For visibility features in Salesforce Commerce Cloud, I might need to schedule a separate meeting as I can only share certain levels of information. Experience-wise, it is very good; the platform helps identify promotional opportunities and integrates well with Salesforce's Trade Promotion Management. The main benefits Salesforce Commerce Cloud provides are significant process improvements. If we did not have it, I would need to establish a separate D2C portal such as Magento Commerce and integrate with Salesforce for some data. Having Salesforce Commerce Cloud is essential as it integrates very quickly and is part of the entire ecosystem.
Anton Karzhavin - PeerSpot reviewer
Head Of Business Analysis at EffectiveSoft
Platform has supported global rollouts and has delivered faster, more reliable commerce journeys
In my view, SAP Commerce Cloud can be improved as it currently feels too heavy, with customers nowadays expecting solutions to be deployed in months rather than years. This is the most significant issue with SAP Commerce Cloud, which caters primarily to Fortune 500 companies and falls short for mid-sized businesses. I do not have a clear idea on which specific feature they should implement to better serve the smaller business market, despite their several past attempts. Regarding potential improvements for SAP Commerce Cloud, I am not the best person to discuss deployments as I lack a DevOps background. However, I believe the primary enhancement should be in their vision and communication of product benefits. Personally, I have found SAP salespeople to be less friendly compared to their Salesforce counterparts. Their inflexibility regarding discounts and offers might be an area for improvement.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The simplicity in which you can document and analyze the data you put in is really valuable."
"The most valuable feature of Salesforce Commerce Cloud is the frequent updates. There will be a significant increase in the look and feel. You will be using the solution and think you might want a new feature to be added and then when they release the next release it is there. There are constantly improving the solution."
"On a scale of one to ten I would love to give it a 10+."
"The pipeline and lead management features are the most valuable."
"There is a good community of developers for the platform."
"Demandware is at the top of the list when it comes to a SaaS-model e-Commerce solution for its ease of use, low start-up costs (compared to an on-premise solution) and scalability."
"The product is easy to use."
"I have found the list creation and dashboard customization features valuable."
"Some of the most valuable features are its personalized offering, promotion engine, and customer support module."
"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."
"With the click of few buttons with your mobile device or with your notebook or laptop you can purchase the products at your home."
"We work on B2B projects, and it is the most efficient software solution for B2B."
"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."
"SAP Commerce Cloud has positively impacted our organization by allowing us to launch our website within six months as an omnichannel platform, providing production support readily available and quick product loading, which was crucial for our startup company."
"Hybris Commerce's most valuable feature is the simple integration with ERP."
"Its dashboards, business features, and user-friendliness of a lot of business interfaces are valuable. We work on B2B projects, and it is the most efficient software solution for B2B. The B2B accelerator is very much appreciated by our customers because it has some use cases that are ready for production. For some projects, we proposed the SAP Hybris solution because it was sufficient for use cases related to product management and data quality. With other e-commerce platforms, we would have needed integration with another product information management software."
 

Cons

"Commerce Cloud is not cheap. You will not find a cost-effective solution with official systems integrators."
"Salesforce Commerce Cloud could improve overall customization. Having a template deployment would be a useful feature."
"The back office of Salesforce could be more user-friendly."
"As its code base is hidden, we have little scope for our own customization. We compulsorily have to go with the partners they have chosen."
"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 different vendors and competitors have multiple themes to choose from when implementing an e-commerce portal, so this is one of the main pain points for me."
"Multi-tenant infrastructure is a blessing and a curse."
"What I don't like is the price. The solution is expensive."
"We would like more interaction from Salesforce about new versions."
"The stack needs to be improved; they need to start using more new technologies."
"It is very expensive to implement, which is why many companies who can't afford would normally move to Salesforce or Magento."
"Tighter integration with SAP (more OOTB tools for integration)."
"Since it comes as an overall package, the license cost is high, and you might or might not use the Solr integration, which allows breaking it based on the use cases to reduce some cost or burden on the companies purchasing the product."
"SAP Hybris does not employ the latest technologies. For example, they still use GSP, Tag Files, an older version of Java, no microservices, and no Amazon Web Services."
"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."
"A public cloud solution of this software would open great possibilities."
"Hybris is not currently using microservices."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Salesforce is not a cheap solution."
"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."
"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."
"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 price is quite high."
"The solution is very expensive in Turkey."
"The solution is 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."
"The product is expensive. I would rate its price a seven out of ten. The solution's licensing is yearly."
"This is an expensive solution."
"I don't know the cost, but it can be expensive."
"The price is too high."
