Customization supports complex needs, though speed challenges persist

We don't use the reporting tools from Adobe Commerce as we have our own reporting infrastructure. Adobe Commerce can be complex in terms of ease of use, as it's such a large platform. From the development side, you can customize everything, but that does require substantial resources. When working on Adobe Commerce, I would want Adobe Commerce specialist developers. Although it's all built in PHP, and there are many PHP developers, I would want Adobe Commerce specialist developers working on it because they have knowledge about what to customize and more importantly, what's best not to touch. There are always site speed issues with Adobe Commerce. It seems to be an ongoing issue with performance. When comparing it to Shopify, you don't tend to need to worry about that, but with Adobe Commerce, it remains an ongoing issue. Additionally, there are all the upgrades, which can be quite painful, including the regular patches, both on the open-source and licensed version, on-premises. The initial setup for migrating to Adobe Commerce from another e-commerce platform is not straightforward; it's a very big job. The pricing for Adobe Commerce varies dramatically. Quite often, you see their list prices and then you are able to negotiate very hefty discounts. My understanding is that they're moving away from heavily discounting. Although our license where I am at the moment is heavily discounted, I'm hearing that they're trying to move away from that practice.

ERP Enterprise Architect at a pharma/biotech company with 201-500 employees

Reduced the customer care team's time, got us new customers, and required no third-party integrations

Their support should have more in-depth knowledge about different ERP solutions that they connect to. There could also be more support about everything that is related to website management, which is not strictly related to the B2B tool. These are the things like knowing about GDPR regulations, knowing about digital consents, and in general, all the laws that go with having a website. Sometimes, we would have liked more support in that area. There could also be more features coming out on the platform, but I know they are already working on that. I know they're changing the way they manage that.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The ecosystem includes thousands of vendors who are providing third-party add-ons."

"Magento is generally considered to be the most advanced e-commerce program available in the market."

"Now with the website, all of their offline orders have been converted into the store business and their sales are improving 60% year on year and now they are one of the premium brands selling gym equipment across Australia."

"I think it is adequate because Adobe Commerce has many software options; with Adobe-related software, I can purchase every software from here and I can use it, so I think it is perfect for using software."

"As compared to platforms such as ATG or Commerce Cloud, its interface is easy to use, Magento also provides seamless administration for business users, and you can leverage the out-of-the-box features of Magento, which is very valuable for startups."

"Integrated Payment Gateway International Payment Ready Cash On Delivery and Bank Deposit Email Notifications Integrated Social Media Product Presentation Verify Orders Easy Navigation Personalized Shopping Experience 3rd Party Extensions Showcase your products Advanced Sort and Search Simple Check-out process Secure Shopping SEO Optimized Enable/Disable Products Multiple Stores"

"Magento is very flexible, and it's one of the biggest e-commerce platforms."

"The open-source PHP code allows our developers to customize pretty much anything on the platform, including allowing us to add some of the most complex shipping and inventory features for clients who have very specific, industry-related business specifications."

More Adobe Commerce pros

"The big benefit with Sana is our ability to interface with Microsoft Dynamics."

"The site saves us the time we used to spend on emails and phone calls with customers, has helped reduce manual work because we're not entering in phone orders or email orders, and has driven a 10 to 15 percent increase in new customers along with strong adoption by existing customers."

"This product is highly customizable. We use the standard system but we have extended it quite a bit."

"Using Sana Commerce has helped to increase customer engagement online."

"The most valuable feature is the direct ERP integration, as it allows us to provide product availability and specific pricing in real-time. Customers can also order themselves in real-time."

"The main reason they chose Sana was because of the ERP connection in real-time, which gives us the ability to display product availability and specific prices for each customer, per article, in real-time."

"I found it surprisingly easy from both the admin side and the customer side. The admin side has a limited set of features, but they are very well explained. They are very simple to understand. It is very easy to find out what every feature does. It is not really complicated. Sana provides an online university where you can learn everything that you need about it. When we needed to check a new feature or validate how something works, we found solid online information on their website. If there was anything that we couldn't find, or if we really couldn't understand how exactly something was working, their support was always very quick. So, it is quite easy."

"We use Sana Commerce with Microsoft Dynamics on the back end and the native ERP integration works well. The fact that no third-party integrations are needed between our Sana Commerce web store and Microsoft Dynamics is important. It's one less thing to worry about when it comes to troubleshooting."

More Sana Commerce pros

Cons

"The hardware requirements of the tool should be made better, as it is a solution that is very heavy on the servers, and it makes it expensive to host many servers."

"Magento application consumes gigabytes of RAM when executing heavy processes, and PHP often cannot handle the load."

"The price of Adobe Commerce is very high, actually. If it were possible to have a free version or a limited version, that would be good for users."

"The product needs to improve its security. Also, they need to improve B2B features."

"One significant drawback of Commerce is its substantial size, which allows for extensive customization but also elongates the development process for an e-commerce website."

"It would be great to have a way to communicate properly with the team that builds the platform because you can get stuck at certain points, and it's hard to search for solutions on forums and tutorials."

"The analytics are good but there is room for improvement. There are some limitations due to new regulations causing customer data time delays."

"The industry has evolved, and the main focus is composable solutions because of which now SAP and Magento are forced to tackle various aspects of commerce, including commerce tools and pricing strategies, among other things."

More Adobe Commerce cons

"If you want to introduce any new features or functionality, it's at least a three to four-month process, possibly more, because of the way their structure works."

"One problem that we encounter is that it's difficult to upgrade as a result of making a large number of customer-specific adaptations."

"There could also be more support about everything that is related to website management, which is not strictly related to the B2B tool. These are the things like knowing about GDPR regulations, knowing about digital consents, and in general, all the laws that go with having a website. Sometimes, we would have liked more support in that area."

"We also didn't realize this going into it, but there is an RQS (requirements gathering) phase, which takes about a month. After that, there is a development phase that takes another month. There are also testing and go-live. If you want to introduce any new features or functionality, it's at least a three to four-month process, possibly more, because of the way their structure works. Everything has to be customized. They are resource-challenged as well."

"Their support should have more in-depth knowledge about different ERP solutions that they connect to."

"The performance can be improved. Sometimes, the system is really slow because of the ERP integration. I'm not sure whether this is a problem with Sana Commerce or the ERP system but overall, it could be faster. When it comes to usability, if it takes too much time to load, then it's not the best."

"One problem that we encounter is that it's difficult to upgrade as a result of making a large number of customer-specific adaptations."

"The performance can be improved. Sometimes, the system is really slow because of the ERP integration."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We transitioned from the platform's commercial license to the open-source version, which helped optimize costs without affecting our sales."

"This solution is cheaper than some of its competitors. However, the price depends on which country you are in. In some countries, such as Greece or some Southeastern European countries, the price for the client can be expensive."

"The price of the solution increased after Adobe acquired Magento. At this point, we know the price of Magento and SAP, and while they may have lower entry tickets, they are ultimately comparable."

"Many implementations were open-source. We also had a couple of enterprise-level implementations, but I didn't have visibility on the licensing cost."

"The product offers an open-source version, which is free. There are licensing options for Adobe Commerce's cloud version."

"The cost of implementation is cheap compared to other solutions."

"They have a policy of a price per legal entity. So, if you are a company that operates in one country, that is, if you're just an American company, or you're just a Spanish company or just a British company, then that probably makes sense. We are a global company, and we have operations in 20 to 30 different countries. So, we are interested in implementing Sana in potentially 20 to 30 countries. Right now, the pricing model of Sana has a limitation. They are almost asking for the same price for the new country when in many cases, a new country will just be a new small rollout. That's because it is the same solution that gets implemented everywhere. So, to me, it is not the same price if you are maintaining 10 Sanas that are looking exactly the same and are working exactly the same in 10 different countries. To me, these should not cost 10 times more than one. They don't yet have a good grasp of how to manage global companies like ours. That is something we are talking to them about, and we are in discussions with them about. So, hopefully, they will learn."

"When we got version 9.2, it was a good price. Everything is moving to the subscription-based cloud model, and that's probably a little high when you look at the lifetime cost."

"Sana's pricing is fair. It could be more competitive. It's not so much the licensing cost, it's the additional development."

"Support costs are in addition to the standard licensing fees, and they vary per month, based on how much we use them. It is not very expensive."
