Vijay Subramanyam - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"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."
"Stability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten...Scalability-wise, I rate the solution a nine out of ten."
"The solution is quite stable."
"The filters are very useful, and easy to customize. it's very easy to operate."
"I have found the list creation and dashboard customization features valuable."
"I find the reports to be the solution's most valuable feature."
"It is a very flexible solution."
"The product is easy to use."
"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."
"SAP Hybris Commerce is a very advanced e-commerce platform compared to other platforms such as WebSphere Commerce, Oracle Commerce, and others."
"The user interface can be customized."
"We have found the B2B, B2C and D2C very valuable."
"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."
"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."
"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

"The connection with Marketing Cloud should be improved."
"There is always room for improvement with any solution."
"The dashboards for this solution could be improved."
"We would like more interaction from Salesforce about new versions."
"The solution should have more and faster reporting, as well as better performance."
"In the next release, Commerce Cloud should add CRM dashboards."
"There is space to have better communication with other kinds of platforms."
"Salesforce Commerce Cloud could improve overall customization. Having a template deployment would be a useful feature."
"They could include additional types of payment implementations. Right now they are just providing CyberSourse."
"The stack needs to be improved; they need to start using more new technologies."
"Like every other SAP solution, it is very heavy. Also, the transition to the cloud is not very smooth because it is not really a SaaS solution. The upgrades are also not as smooth as you would expect from a complete cloud solution. It should have a product recommendation feature as well as a promotional feature. It should also have more personalizations."
"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."
"The learning curve is high."
"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."
"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."
"We would like to be able to easily add functionality to the CMS, such as instant messaging. This would make is much more usable, especially in B2C scenarios."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The licensing works on a per-user basis."
"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."
"The product is expensive."
"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."
"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."
"Salesforce is not a cheap solution."
"I give the price of the solution a three out of ten."
"The solution is very expensive in Turkey."
"This is an expensive solution."
"The price is quite high."
"I don't know the cost, but it can be expensive."
"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."
"The solution is 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…
