Managed cloud services have helped accelerate experiments with flexible configuration options
Sometimes the costs associated with spinning up a service, especially managed services, have implications. For example, if I create a Glue job, that will create S3 buckets and other resources that have cost implications, but once I clean up a Glue job, it does not delete the other accessory resources. Sometimes, I have to go hunting for what resources Amazon AWS might have provisioned and how it is costing behind the scenes. It can be complex depending on your level of expertise. It is not as easy to get started, especially when it comes to secure practices. Amazon AWS is more hands-on than other platforms.

Improving User Experience with Effective Platform Integration
Based on my experience with SAP Commerce Cloud, I have thoughts regarding data analysis and analytics; I know they have this feature because I've never seen it. When I ask my colleagues about data, they say they don't have it, so I may need to inform them that SAP Commerce Cloud has such a feature because they never have data about the e-commerce currently. The multi-languages and multi-currency features in SAP Commerce Cloud are useful for us because we have it cross-country, with an e-commerce presence in the US and another in Europe. Based on my experience, working with SAP Commerce Cloud can be a bit complex, considering what my colleagues say, but I haven't had direct experience with this. I rate SAP Commerce Cloud five out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's quite stable and scalable. The price is good as well."
"The environment is a rich playground, and if you tried to do the same things on-premises that you do on AWS, it would be a lot more challenging to execute. You can open up a virtual machine on AWS, run some experiments, and be done with it. It's much easier than buying new servers, provisioning them, etc"
"In general, the cost management in Amazon is complicated. It's not too straightforward."
"They integrate well with various other solutions."
"AWS's security model, including IAM or security groups, has contributed to our organization's compliance. It manages authentication, permissions, and overall security posture, which helps us maintain compliance."
"Some of the introduced one-year and three-year reservations helped us reduce costs early on. With time, we learned how to minimize our at REST capacity, allowing us to scale up and scale down in near seconds."
"You can instantly scale resources up or down as needed, avoiding the need to build infrastructure from scratch."
"This solution features ease of use and market adaptability."
"We have found the B2B, B2C and D2C very valuable."
"Hybris Commerce's most valuable feature is the simple integration with ERP."
"It's the best tool on the market and is a complete e-commerce system for product management. For instance, if the customer has a log enterprise level product, they can manage it here."
"I chose this out-of-box E-Commerce solution because it helps you start up your E-Commerce business in a very good amount of time since Hybris already provides you the end-to-end flow with minimum customization. You can quickly go live with the customer."
"In SAP Commerce Cloud, I find the integration and the back-end part most valuable because they can be easily integrated with the SAP product catalog and CRM and so on."
"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."
"Some of the most valuable features are its personalized offering, promotion engine, and customer support module."
"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."
 

Cons

"We would like to see if AWS includes any inbuilt automation. Also, we are very interested in AWS's AI/ML features, as well as IoT, AR, and VR."
"I think that the interface could be improved."
"The pricing could be more competitive."
"The price needs improvement."
"The solution could have better security and more integration with other platforms."
"This solution would be improved with the inclusion of hybrid Kubernetes management."
"We have had several issues with the products and services but as of now, there are no good alternatives."
"Comparatively with the industry, I believe there is room for improvement in reliability, particularly in testing processes where the use of fault injection services to simulate failures and improve test labs for daily use could be beneficial."
"A public cloud solution of this software would open great possibilities."
"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."
"It is very expensive to implement, which is why many companies who can't afford would normally move to Salesforce or Magento."
"The learning curve is high."
"The WCS management or content management is not that great."
"The support team should improve the response time."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is not the cheapest one, but there is a good ratio between the quality of service and the pricing. Its price is good for me."
"The pricing is reasonable. It's not expensive, nor will it be cheap, but the free credits initially given provide leverage for new companies to start their businesses."
"As a startup business, it's very well priced, but if a number of transactions go up, clients have voiced that they are in a situation and feel a type of pressure and desire to move out of AWS."
"One of the best-kept ways to reduce costs is to develop it on serverless technologies with AWS Lambda, SNS, DynamoDB, and S3."
"Reasonably priced and comparable to similar services."
"When you compare Amazon AWS to Microsoft Azure, the pricing of both is almost the same. There are some instances when one is cheaper than the other in one area but it is difficult to pinpoint which one is cheaper because it depends upon a lot of factors, such as the use case. However, the overall price of both solutions could be reduced."
"Its pricing can be simplified a little bit more. Even though they have been reducing it, I still believe they can do better as compared to GCP, Google Cloud."
"When it comes to professional certification in AWS, I implore others to study hard before your exams because $300 is a painful waste of money if you fail."
"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 solution is very expensive in Turkey."
"This is an expensive solution."
"The price is too high."
"The product is expensive. I would rate its price a seven out of ten. The solution's licensing is yearly."
"I don't know the cost, but it can be expensive."
"The solution is expensive."
"The price is quite high."
