They tailor the design as per our needs and take care of sales tax in all the countries
Their customer support has some room for improvement. Our customers can contact Softline for billing-related questions, and sometimes, the customers come back to us because there are some delays from Softline's end. They have translated and localized all billing-related information, but their support is in English. This is something that could be improved. Our previous partner had a really good admin panel. We could apply some settings on our own without any additional help from our partner. For example, we could change the design, settings, and the fields that show up on the widget, whereas with Softline, we cannot do that. Everything is on their end. It would be good if they provide some tools in the admin panel to make some minor changes. They should also allow us to customize the widget, at least the color. In this aspect, we are currently limited. We cannot really change the design, and the widget is just the way it was developed. The admin panel is also a bit confusing. Our previous partner had a really intuitive and user-friendly admin panel. We could easily find everything. Softline's admin panel is a bit complicated. So, it took us time. I think they plan to improve it, and they might apply some changes in the future.
Iyas Hamadet - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers a huge coverage of features that are needed for marketplace businesses
Spryker, even with its native features, often requires some development and configuration into the code, which is not straightforward in the beginning. The framework approach assumes you might not need to develop. In reality, native features sometimes need development. An improvement could be in reducing the amount of initial development work required even when native features are used.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We are still doing more tests to see if we can use Softline eCommerce across the whole business. We are adopting Softline solutions in more countries now, i.e., Poland, Czech Republic, Slovakia, and the Balkans. All these regions are now using Softline eCommerce. So, it has really helped us to increase our sales."
"We can customize shopping carts according to our needs. We constantly review with Softline the features and shopping cart templates that we need. Softline eCommerce is flexible and can provide additional features, e.g., the design of the shopping cart, disclaimers, and some customized emails to clients."
"We use Softline eCommerce in some of European countries and also a few Asian countries. They provide us with their services and local support in those regions. This is really important because our goal is to be as local as possible. We are trying to be local with our websites and products. We also want customers to have that same experience during their purchases. For example, if a user is from Thailand and goes to our website, then we want them to have the same experience when they go to the checkout. If they experience any issues, then they can contact the customer support team."
"I often communicate with Allsoft managers. The speed of their reaction is very important for me. They always respond very quickly and help with any questions."
"What we really appreciated is that they basically tailored their widget for us. They showed us their possibilities. They had some kind of widget, and we just asked them if it is possible to change the design, and they basically really tailored the design to our needs. That was great. Their team was very nice, and we really appreciated that they were prompt with any replies and any feedback. For example, we ran an AB test, and we saw that something could be changed. They fixed it in a couple of days, and we could go ahead without waiting. That was really amazing."
"The most valuable feature is the local support, meaning the support of local payment methods. For example, in Russia, they support online banks and some other simple types of online banking. In the Czech Republic they can do a wire transfer. And their cart schemes are pretty local. These features enable us to create a local experience where our customers can pay with the payment methods they are used to. Payment methods are a very local thing."
"The technology is very simple to use."
"The platform's composability is valuable as it provides a variety of extensions to interface with other solutions."
 

Cons

"We get support from them to implement different scenarios. Some technical things that our sales operations team work on should be done a bit faster as well as the analytical part."
"Scalability is average; it's not really good. There are some limitations: They don't have a solution that can be used worldwide nor do they provide a self-service for users or customers."
"Some unification of their systems could be beneficial, e.g., having some default complex systems that could serve other systems and databases systems. This improvement is connected with their technical part, like backend systems, databases, and reporting, because there are some items that could be improved in their technical part."
"I would like to get an advanced level of sales analytics for free. However, it is provided only for money."
"Our previous partner had a really good admin panel. We could apply some settings on our own without any additional help from our partner. For example, we could change the design, settings, and the fields that show up on the widget, whereas with Softline, we cannot do that. Everything is on their end. It would be good if they provide some tools in the admin panel to make some minor changes. They should also allow us to customize the widget, at least the color. In this aspect, we are currently limited. We cannot really change the design, and the widget is just the way it was developed. The admin panel is also a bit confusing. Our previous partner had a really intuitive and user-friendly admin panel. We could easily find everything. Softline's admin panel is a bit complicated. So, it took us time. I think they plan to improve it, and they might apply some changes in the future."
"The work done by the legal team is an area that can be improved."
"They should provide more training once the client comes onboard, or have something more scripted. With most companies, once you are onboard, then you know the process and what happens next. Currently, Softline's process is customized. While I know what they are going to deliver, I don't know how it will be done. It's just about getting it more streamlined on their side with their customer service."
"There is also room for improvement in the preparation they do for projects, their 'homework.' They need to be better at gathering as much information as possible regarding the project before the start, so we can eliminate troubles during the implementation and later stages."
"Spryker, even with its native features, often requires some development and configuration into the code, which is not straightforward in the beginning."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"For us, its pricing was really nice. It was more or less the same one as everyone else. I don't know what they offer to others, but for us, the offer was perfect."
"Softline eCommerce has helped to increase our eCommerce sales."
"We are satisfied with their prices at the moment."
"In terms of licensing, it was definitely the best price on the Russian market and everything is pretty simple."
"Softline's pricing is above average because of all the things that I mentioned: a more localized solution and closer cooperation with us. They give us a team that is more or less dedicated to us. Those developers are mainly working on our tasks."
