Allows for easy customization according to specific customer needs
Salesforce Commerce Cloud is a cloud-based multi-tenant platform. Customizing the application requires a significant level of technical expertise, particularly in native Lightning Web Components development and Apex Development, which are the platform's native languages. It's essential to be aware of these limitations and any related recommendations. The limitation is the restriction on data storage, which can be crucial when dealing with clients who generate large orders and invoices. In such cases, alternative solutions may need to be considered, and integration with other applications may be necessary. While it offers streamlined integration capabilities with various applications, the data storage limit is a factor that must be considered when planning marketing strategies and solutions.

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

"There is a good community of developers for the platform."
"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."
"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."
"The ease of customization is valuable."
"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."
"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 conversion of opportunities and leads to accounts is one of the most valuable features."
"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."
"Hybris offers a platform designed for speed."
"We like that this solution gives our B2B clients a lot of functionality straight 'out of the box', meaning that they don't need to carry out a lot of configuration to be able to use it."
"Hybris Commerce's most valuable feature is the simple integration with ERP."
"The simple steps for configuring your checkout processes, as well as the promotional engine, are the most valuable features of this solution."
"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."
"Some of the most valuable features are its personalized offering, promotion engine, and customer support module."
"The tool has good performance."
 

Cons

"The connection with Marketing Cloud should be improved."
"The solution should have more and faster reporting, as well as better performance."
"Salesforce's technical support is not as good as Elastic Path."
"The community is very closed source. If you don't buy it, you won't be able to learn it."
"The solution is expensive."
"Pricing is a disadvantage because it is expensive."
"We would like more interaction from Salesforce about new versions."
"Salesforce Commerce Cloud could improve overall customization. Having a template deployment would be a useful feature."
"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."
"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."
"Hybris is not currently using microservices."
"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."
"It is very expensive to implement, which is why many companies who can't afford would normally move to Salesforce or Magento."
"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 support team should improve the response time."
"A public cloud solution of this software would open great possibilities."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 give the price of the solution a three out of ten."
"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 don't know how much the solution costs per user, but I know it's our biggest cost in the company."
"The licensing works on a per-user basis."
"The product is expensive."
"Salesforce is not a cheap solution."
"This is an expensive solution."
"The product is expensive. I would rate its price a seven out of ten. The solution's licensing is yearly."
"The solution is expensive."
"The price is too high."
"The price is quite high."
"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 very expensive in Turkey."
"I don't know the cost, but it can be expensive."
