Featured Reviews

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.

Cloud access has improved reporting and sales operations across global locations
I cannot say anything about what areas of SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud could be improved or enhanced because so far, we are happy with this implementation. We are not facing any problem, or I cannot say that this can be improved. Although SAP keeps improving themselves day by day, we cannot say that SAP needs to improve anything. One thing which we face, not as a problem, is the pricing. SAP pricing is a bit higher day by day. Before, it was not too much higher, but I don't know why they are increasing their price. They should see this thing, so other customers, such as SMBs customers or small and mid-sized customers, can also avail this thing. Otherwise, we don't have any problem. First, there is the limitation. If you are a SAP user, you don't feel any problem with the limitation because if you know how to use the product, you can easily implement this thing. Otherwise, if you don't know the business process or how to integrate and implement, it could be a problem. We have a limitation, but we developed some add-ons for this. So we fulfilled these requirements.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"SAP Hybris Commerce is a very advanced e-commerce platform compared to other platforms such as WebSphere Commerce, Oracle Commerce, and others."
"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."
"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."
"The tool supports multiple currencies."
"The simple steps for configuring your checkout processes, as well as the promotional engine, are the most valuable features of this solution."
"We have found the B2B, B2C and D2C very valuable."
"SAP Hybris provides us with all of the e-commerce features that a client could need."
"This solution is as good as any other S/4HANA SAP solution, and the continuous support we get is very valuable."
"This is a product that I recommend for others."
"The solution is stable and we have never had a problem. We started with one terabyte of data when the solution was first implemented and today we have around almost 600 gigabytes of data, which means means the compression works properly. Before migrating from ECC, we had nine terabytes of data."
"In SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud, HANA has the best performance for hosting the data warehouse and analytics solution mainly, and this is the good feature in it."
"It is a scalable solution if you have a good cloud infrastructure."
"While on-prem takes a long time, this solution is ten times faster."
"I am impressed with how the solution integrates with the ME system and ALE IDocs."
"Companies have gained more productivity because users take less time to finalize tasks as the data is correct, eliminating the need to double-check information constantly."
 

Cons

"It is very expensive to implement, which is why many companies who can't afford would normally move to Salesforce or Magento."
"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."
"The support team should improve the response time."
"Sometimes it's slow in accessing products. Also IMPEX upload was complex."
"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."
"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."
"They could include additional types of payment implementations. Right now they are just providing CyberSourse."
"SAP should adopt more rapid changes in market processes and customer needs to deliver solutions that meet new industry requirements swiftly."
"The customer has a lot of dependencies on SAP which means they don't have much flexibility to go and update the system when or if they need to. They will need to wait for the quarterly updates. It's possible to maybe raise a special request with SAP if it is absolutely necessary."
"The cost could be improved. I think it's higher than the competition."
"The solution needs to embed or integrate with IBP to fully activate the PPT module with efficiency."
"The stability needs to be improved to be able to handle large amounts of data."
"The SAP products are complicated to deploy anywhere."
"The price is expensive compared to the competition."
"The product must provide more details of the errors."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is very expensive in Turkey."
"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 price is too high."
"The solution is expensive."
"The price is quite high."
"I don't know the cost, but it can be expensive."
"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 price is on little bit higher. For SAP HANA Enterprise Cloud, we see roughly five crores per annum."
"The pricing is reasonable when compared to other vendors like Oracle who offer technology enterprise resource software."
"The product itself is relatively expensive."
"The solution's cost is reasonable."
"The solution could be less expensive."
"I rate the product's price a five out of ten."
"Our pricing is based on a yearly contract."
"The price is high compared to other databases, which is why HANA is still not widely used. Some enterprises prefer Sybase, Oracle, or other traditional databases because HANA is a little pricey. Cost is one factor SAP needs to work on to make it more competitive with other databases. Otherwise, they'll never be able to develop a mass customer base."
