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

"It is a scalable solution."
"It has a customizable checkout experience, customizable homepage, everything can be customized."
"Salesforce offers the best features and functionality, which are developed and refined over many years to provide a highly customized e-commerce experience."
"The solution gives very detailed information to track the progress of the opportunities, like the status of the opportunity and for how long you’ve been in touch with the customer for this opportunity."
"The features that are core to Salesforce including documentation and the variety of integrations available are most valuable."
"Commerce Cloud's best features include sales service and cloud marketing."
"There is a good community of developers for the platform."
"The filters are very useful, and easy to customize. it's very easy to operate."
"I wouldn't say they have artificial intelligence, as it's not really AI, however, the data analysis that they provide to you is good."
 

Cons

"They should provide integration with social networking sites."
"My experience with technical support from Salesforce is mixed; they are available but sometimes not as responsive when issues arise, leading to longer wait times unless I subscribe to higher-level support."
"This solution could be improved by providing additional artificial intelligence capabilities that are available out-of-the-box. It would be useful to have automatic forecasts using AI."
"In the next release, Commerce Cloud should add CRM dashboards."
"Pricing is a disadvantage because it is expensive."
"Being able to customize everything in general to our specific needs would be pretty awesome."
"The dashboards for this solution could be improved."
"Multi-tenant infrastructure is a blessing and a curse."
"The community is very closed source. If you don't buy it, you won't be able to learn it."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's price is reasonable."
"I give the price of the solution a three out of ten."
"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."
"The licensing works on a per-user basis."
"The pricing is fairly reasonable."
"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."
"I don't know how much the solution costs per user, but I know it's our biggest cost in the company."
"There are no significant upfront license costs."
"I think price-wise, it's a little bit expensive. It can be made cheaper for smaller businesses. I understand that for larger businesses, it can be a payable amount. But for medium to smaller, it is kind of costly, and it might be difficult for them to pay."
