Featured Reviews

Vasanth Kumar Sabaapathi - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers real-time data fetching for e-commerce businesses along with effortless maintenance and excellent tech support
The initial setup is not straightforward, as it varies depending on the business use cases. If experienced professionals are handling the deployment then there are not many obstacles. I would rate the initial setup of Adobe Commerce as nine out of ten. At our company, we work with the cloud version of Adobe Commerce. We used a Waterfall model in our organization, deriving standard SDLC life cycle processes to deploy Adobe Commerce. The solution's initial deployment took around eight months in our company. As part of the initial setup, 11 professionals were required from our company team. The product can be maintained effortlessly.
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

"The product can be maintained effortlessly."
"The platform allows us to easily integrate with service vendors, such as delivery services and payment systems."
"The ecosystem includes thousands of vendors who are providing third-party add-ons."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its ease of integration with any upfront platform or CMS solution."
"The most valuable feature in this solution I have found to be that I have the ability to find all the analytics that I need. It has very good integrations with social media platforms and other tools."
"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."
"We have the ability to resolve service issues since Magento enables us to invest more time in dealing with custom requirements."
"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."
"The platform's composability is valuable as it provides a variety of extensions to interface with other solutions."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"The analytics are good but there is room for improvement. There are some limitations due to new regulations causing customer data time delays."
"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."
"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."
"I'm not a technical person, but we had some kind of late response in page loading, let's say page load speed."
"Magneto is monolithic in character, making it difficult for us to scale up very high quickly on the content side."
"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."
"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

"Many implementations were open-source. We also had a couple of enterprise-level implementations, but I didn't have visibility on the licensing cost."
"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."
"The cost of implementation is cheap compared to other solutions."
"We transitioned from the platform's commercial license to the open-source version, which helped optimize costs without affecting our sales."
"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."
