Unified B2B and B2C setup has streamlined complex catalogs and real-time customer pricing

Adobe Commerce offers many features, such as the customer group, which is the best common feature for B2B. Additionally, we have implemented both B2B and B2C in a single instance, meaning B2B also uses the same code as B2C. That type of flexibility is only available in Adobe Commerce. The customer group feature helps my organization by allowing us to create specific customer groups for catalogs. For example, we have three companies—Company A, Company B, and Company C—and we need to create three customer groups: Company A customer group, Company B customer group, and Company C customer group. We always assign a number of products belonging to that particular customer group, ensuring that if a customer logs in with Company A, we showcase only those products available for that particular customer. If Customer B has a different set of products, we choose the Customer Group B and assign the catalog for that specific customer. This is the best feature for company-specific catalog management. Adobe Commerce has positively impacted my organization as I am a developer here and work in a service-based company that handles multiple client requirements. In terms of work and all, Adobe Commerce has created a lot of opportunities for the organization, improving revenue and performance substantially. Regarding how Adobe Commerce has improved revenue or performance, I believe that having multiple projects in Adobe Commerce translates into substantial revenue. I do not have specific metrics, as I am a developer and do not handle that type of data.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Not only can they build a system at a cheap price, but they can get it live very quickly."

"Magento is very user friendly due to its various functionalities like one page checkout, comparison between products and also gives liberty to users to share the reviews on purchased products."

"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."

"Adobe Commerce already provides many functionalities that run an e-commerce store seamlessly, so from my observation, this is the best fit in the market."

"The solution's valuable features are the presentation layout and ease of use. When we have new people joining the team, it is simple for them to get involved very quickly."

"We have the ability to resolve service issues since Magento enables us to invest more time in dealing with custom requirements."

"The platform provides an easy way to customize its features."

"Magento provides a strong backing, meaning it can handle the order processing, customer management, configuration, third party payment integration, and shipping matters. There is a standard, very well set up architecture already present in Magento that helps them set up their online shops with much precision. Clients can see their reports, their daily sales, their best selling products, and their best buying customers so that they can target them through mails or just follow up with them. These are the main default features which make Magento so attractive."

More Adobe Commerce pros

"SAP Commerce Cloud enabled them to deliver features much faster and build more digital native experiences, which everyone is waiting for."

"The simple steps for configuring your checkout processes, as well as the promotional engine, are the most valuable features of this solution."

"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."

"In one week, we can build a complete e-commerce solution."

"We work on B2B projects, and it is the most efficient software solution for B2B."

"Hybris Commerce's most valuable feature is the simple integration with ERP."

"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."

"SAP Hybris Commerce is a very advanced e-commerce platform compared to other platforms such as WebSphere Commerce, Oracle Commerce, and others."

More SAP Commerce Cloud pros

Cons

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

"I am still playing around and trying to catch up with the latest version to understand all the features, but I do feel that its CMS can be much more streamlined. They provide a what-you-see-is-what-you-get editor, which many customers prefer, but based on the implementations that I have done for more than seven years, I have seen that many times, it is run by the marketing team, and they don't find it very comfortable to use. They feel uncomfortable managing and changing the content. As a business user, you need to have at least basic knowledge of HTML, which you cannot expect from all marketing teams. Some companies or organizations have that competency, but many organizations, especially in the Middle East, have a very small team, so it becomes quite difficult for them. This is a common challenge that I have seen across the platforms. Magento is better and easier than Oracle Commerce Cloud, but Shopify is much easier than Magento. A layman or my 10-year-old kid can go ahead and set up a store in Shopify in probably 45 minutes, which is not the case with Magento. Elasticsearch has really been a pain. It takes a toll on the performance. Starting with version 2.4, Magento requires Elasticsearch, which has been causing a lot of serious performance issues. We had a client in the US who was running a promo, and they lost a subsequent number of orders over one and a half hours. They were on the enterprise platform, not open-source. The team had to open a ticket with Magento. Its performance needs to be upgraded, or some kind of guidelines have to be provided for the setup. It looks like even Magento has no clue. When you go through the answers given in the online community, it seems that in spite of having the hardware configurations that they suggest, it is not performing at the optimal level. It should also have a better way to measure performance. Performance measuring has to be much easier. Many times, we see CPU utilization going up and down. We see spikes without any reason. Therefore, we need a better performance management system."

"Magento 2 is only three to four years old, so it is an evolving technology. In certain areas on the front there were some glitches. For example, you can't do certain kinds of filters on data and you have certain speed issues on category pages due to the way it was written within Magento. Those were a few minor tweaks where we, as a community, found that to be a necessary scope of improvement. But I think they are working on it and hopefully they can solve these issues earlier than later."

"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."

"Because of the complexities of the platform, there aren’t really that many good developers in the industry."

"More technical knowledge is required to keep a Magento website running smoothly compared to many other platforms like OpenCart."

"The data analysis could be improved. The data that you receive whenever you go into the backend of the platform for the analysis is very simple and basic, it could be a little more sophisticated in order to be closer to the client. The data analysis and intelligence of the platform could be better."

"Should have a way to communicate properly with the team that builds the platform"

More Adobe Commerce cons

"Since it comes as an overall package, the license cost is high, and you might or might not use the Solr integration, which allows breaking it based on the use cases to reduce some cost or burden on the companies purchasing the product."

"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."

"They have just started to work with the cloud, but they only support Microsoft Azure."

"The stack needs to be improved; they need to start using more new technologies."

"The main issue for improvement with SAP Commerce Cloud is the UX/UI and the fact that it's difficult to change it because of technical constraints, which makes it insufficient as it currently exists."

"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."

"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."

More SAP Commerce Cloud cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

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

"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 quite high."

"The solution is very expensive in Turkey."

"The price is too high."

"The solution is expensive."

"I don't know the cost, but it can be expensive."

"The product is expensive. I would rate its price a seven out of ten. The solution's licensing is yearly."

"This is an expensive solution."
