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 data analysis that they provide to you is good."
"The main benefits Salesforce Commerce Cloud provides are significant process improvements, as having it is essential because it integrates very quickly and is part of the entire ecosystem."
"The filters are very useful, and easy to customize. it's very easy to operate."
"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."
"It is a very flexible solution."
"The features that are core to Salesforce including documentation and the variety of integrations available are most valuable."
"The pipeline and lead management features are the most valuable."
"The ease of customization is valuable."
"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."
"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."
"We have found the B2B, B2C and D2C very valuable."
"The user interface can be customized."
"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."
"Through the ability to consolidate disparate knowledge repositories either through synchronous asynchronous, API batch, synchronization or other custom methods, I can disseminate as much or as little data through the widest variety of channels."
"Hybris Commerce's most valuable feature is the simple integration with ERP."
"This e-commerce solution represents 70% of the company's income."
 

Cons

"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."
"Salesforce's technical support is not as good as Elastic Path."
"In terms of application performance, it could be a bit quicker."
"Expensive!!!"
"We believe pricing is a disadvantage because it is expensive."
"The back office of Salesforce could be more user-friendly."
"The community is very closed source. If you don't buy it, you won't be able to learn it."
"We would like more interaction from Salesforce about new versions."
"The initial setup was complex because it was a prime migration from the PrestaShop platform to commerce cloud, and it was very, very complex to migrate some data from one side to the other."
"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."
"They have just started to work with the cloud, but they only support Microsoft Azure."
"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."
"Like every other SAP solution, it is very heavy."
"Tighter integration with SAP (more OOTB tools for integration)."
"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."
"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

"The product is expensive."
"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."
"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."
"I give the price of the solution a three out of ten."
"The pricing is fairly reasonable."
"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."
"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."
"The price is too high."
"The solution is expensive."
"This is an expensive solution."
"The solution is very expensive in Turkey."
"The price is quite high."
"I don't know the cost, but it can be expensive."
