Easy to use, robust and fast checkout capabilities, and offers a wholesale interface for B2B customers
There is very little that needs to be improved, as BigCommerce is very proactive and is continuously releasing new updates. They are very effective at modernizing their product, but since no product is perfect and can always improve, a few things that I think BigCommerce could do better is to create a better reporting module for merchants. There are apps available that help with this in their app store, but it would be nice to have this built-in for things such as running reports for sales tax reporting. The theme editor that was recently added is wonderful, but it not totally intuitive.

Unified commerce platform has streamlined direct sales and integrated promotions and billing
One of the most valuable features in Salesforce Commerce Cloud is that it helps me avoid storing credit card information, with a vault function taken care of. Salesforce provides this vault feature, enabling me to bill my D2C customers directly and also feeding data into my Marketing Cloud and Services Cloud. For visibility features in Salesforce Commerce Cloud, I might need to schedule a separate meeting as I can only share certain levels of information. Experience-wise, it is very good; the platform helps identify promotional opportunities and integrates well with Salesforce's Trade Promotion Management. The main benefits Salesforce Commerce Cloud provides are significant process improvements. If we did not have it, I would need to establish a separate D2C portal such as Magento Commerce and integrate with Salesforce for some data. Having Salesforce Commerce Cloud is essential as it integrates very quickly and is part of the entire ecosystem.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"BigCommerce has an excellent B2B interface, which gives merchants the ability to sell with different price books and the ability to segment clients."
"​Ability to quickly add content and manage products along with associated web content easily."
"The ease of customization is valuable."
"Salesforce Commerce Cloud offers effective architecture, ease of integration with third-party systems, and environments to test web store functionalities."
"The main functionality I find valuable in Salesforce Commerce Cloud is the fact that it shares the same database as Service and Sales Cloud, which allows me to develop more quickly in terms of integration, because I already have all the accounts, contacts, leads, sales, and invoice data already on one platform, so I don't need to have many more integrations if I already have Salesforce as the core."
"Salesforce offers the best features and functionality, which are developed and refined over many years to provide a highly customized e-commerce experience."
"Salesforce Commerce Cloud is quite robust and can do many functions. The solution enables extensive personalization. It provides accelerators tailored to your website, simplifying deployment."
"The implementation team can customise the implementation to customer needs."
"The most valuable feature of Salesforce Commerce Cloud is the frequent updates. There will be a significant increase in the look and feel. You will be using the solution and think you might want a new feature to be added and then when they release the next release it is there. There are constantly improving the solution."
 

Cons

"The theme editor that was recently added is wonderful, but it not totally intuitive."
"Salesforce Commerce Cloud could improve overall customization. Having a template deployment would be a useful feature."
"If your organization has a nonstandard or niche business model or audience, the fast nature of the solution may not be a good fit."
"It is similar to ATG, but some features can be exchanged between the 2."
"Pricing is a disadvantage because it is expensive."
"The dashboards for this solution could be improved."
"Being able to customize everything in general to our specific needs would be pretty awesome."
"Four years ago, we linked Salesforce Commerce Cloud with Outlook, and this was a nightmare because a contact in 20 opportunities is a common scenario."
"Salesforce's technical support is not as good as Elastic Path."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The licensing of Salesforce Commerce Cloud is something that will depend on the customer's usability. For us as a company, we are in a position where we will be paying the premium for licensing. If we go to the customer who is seeking a B2C solution quickly, we will definitely look at the pricing when it comes to the user base and receive good discounts. Discount is something that depends on the volume and that is where we need to work on. It is a little sensitive market when it comes to licensing procurement. There are some good competitors."
"The product is expensive."
"Initially when we installed Salesforce, we thought that it was a bit pricey, but I think for the value that we're getting, it’s suitable."
"I give the price of the solution a three out of ten."
"The licensing works on a per-user basis."
"The pricing is fairly reasonable."
"I don't know how much the solution costs per user, but I know it's our biggest cost in the company."
"Salesforce is not a cheap solution."
