Featured Reviews

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

"There is a good community of developers for the platform."
"The conversion of opportunities and leads to accounts is one of the most valuable features."
"Salesforce Commerce Cloud offers a personalized experience tailored to each B2B client. It allows for easy customization according to specific customer needs. Additionally, once a customer finalizes a product with pricing, negotiations and settled prices can be logged into the transcript for future reference and reuse. These features make the platform highly adaptable and efficient, providing a seamless and customizable process tailored to individual preferences."
"The ease of customization is valuable."
"Not having to worry about maintaining one's own infrastructure."
"The implementation team can customise the implementation to customer needs."
"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."
"Salesforce offers the best features and functionality, which are developed and refined over many years to provide a highly customized e-commerce experience."
"The simple steps for configuring your checkout processes, as well as the promotional engine, are the most valuable features of this solution."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"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 offers a platform designed for speed."
 

Cons

"If your organization has a nonstandard or niche business model or audience, the fast nature of the solution may not be a good fit."
"The back office of Salesforce could be more user-friendly."
"Four years ago, we linked Salesforce Commerce Cloud with Outlook, and this was a nightmare because a contact in 20 opportunities is a common scenario."
"The dashboards for this solution could be improved."
"Being able to customize everything in general to our specific needs would be pretty awesome."
"Needs better access to code and customizability of the solution."
"There could be more product integration in the ERP space."
"The connection with Marketing Cloud should be improved."
"Hybris is not currently using microservices."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"The WCS management or content management is not that great."
"They have just started to work with the cloud, but they only support Microsoft Azure."
"It is very expensive to implement, which is why many companies who can't afford would normally move to Salesforce or Magento."
"They could include additional types of payment implementations. Right now they are just providing CyberSourse."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is fairly reasonable."
"The licensing works on a per-user basis."
"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."
"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."
"There are no significant upfront license costs."
"Salesforce is not a cheap solution."
"I give the price of the solution a three out of ten."
"The price is too high."
"I don't know the cost, but it can be 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."
"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 quite high."
"The solution is very expensive in Turkey."

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…
