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.

Headless architecture has powered high‑traffic APIs and accelerated complex commerce projects

For Spryker Systems, there is one major issue I see. There are no peer groups or developer channels where we can post our problems. If we go with Magento and other frameworks, there are many developers available there. You can search on Google, and there are multiple solutions available. You can see the solution, apply it, and then determine if you are able to solve your problem. This type of community resource is missing in Spryker Systems, so they need to do a lot of work on their side. Some user-friendly features are missing in Spryker Systems. Right now, in the present release, they did some things, but they need to do much more from a normal user's point of view. Currently, Spryker Systems is only focused on developer points of view, such as how a developer can extend the functionality or inject functionality into the system. However, if we talk about default features, there are no features. For example, there is nothing for reporting, and if we go with the configuration, only basic configuration is available. No high-level or low-level configuration exists. For example, if we want to showcase something on the cart checkout page, you cannot simply go into the configuration and enable or disable things. These types of features are missing. If Spryker Systems works on these parts, then it is a very cool platform from a user's standpoint.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Magento has changed over the years, but one of the most interesting aspects is that it gets the job done, and a vast community of experts is knowledgeable about the solution."

"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."

"What I appreciate most about Adobe Commerce is the customizable element, as absolutely everything in Adobe Commerce is customizable."

"As compared to platforms such as ATG or Commerce Cloud, its interface is easy to use. Magento also provides seamless administration for business users. You can also integrate an OMS to an extent. You don't need to have a dedicated OMS. You can leverage the out-of-the-box features of Magento, which is very valuable for startups. Other platforms, such as Commerce Cloud, don't have an OMS, and you have to have your own OMS solution."

"The product can be maintained effortlessly."

"The platform allows us to easily integrate with service vendors, such as delivery services and payment systems."

"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"

More Adobe Commerce pros

"Over the last six months, I have found that Spryker Systems' composable commerce and integration capabilities have helped me because Spryker also has the capability with Docker."

"The platform's composability is valuable as it provides a variety of extensions to interface with other solutions."

"Spryker Systems has had a positive impact on my company because we were able to generate a significant revenue increase in our e-commerce area."

"Spryker Systems is very useful as we can use it as a user interface and as an entire ERP or CRM system."

"So far, as I could see, Spryker Systems is stable in my experience."

"From an extensive point of view or for a large project point of view, Spryker Systems is the best platform right now."

"If someone has a big product, then they can use Spryker Systems there, and if they do not want to lose customers' sessions or lose their customers, then Spryker Systems is a viable option."

Cons

"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."

"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."

"The solution takes a huge amount of time to complete the root cause analysis."

"At the moment, Magento is stuck in the middle of a nobody-wants-me market."

"The solution’s performance could be improved."

"Elasticsearch has really been a pain; it takes a toll on the performance, and starting with version 2.4, Magento requires Elasticsearch, which has been causing a lot of serious performance issues."

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

"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."

More Adobe Commerce cons

"In Spryker Systems, the main issue is that connectivity is too difficult. If I want to make a small change, I have to pass code through three layers: Zed, Yves, and middleware."

"Spryker Systems could be improved if we can reduce the complexity level."

"When we build a Spryker Systems application in our local environment, it is really painful as it takes a long time, and the build requires a high-configuration system to become executable in our local environment."

"Spryker, even with its native features, often requires some development and configuration into the code, which is not straightforward in the beginning."

"Spryker Systems is a good company with good customer support. However, there are also problems and setbacks from time to time."

"In my opinion, there are no best features on Spryker Systems. It is a very complex system that uses hexagonal architecture and is very complicated."

"For Spryker Systems, there is one major issue I see. There are no peer groups or developer channels where we can post our problems."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

"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."

"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."

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

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

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