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.

Reduced the customer care team's time, got us new customers, and required no third-party integrations
Their support should have more in-depth knowledge about different ERP solutions that they connect to. There could also be more support about everything that is related to website management, which is not strictly related to the B2B tool. These are the things like knowing about GDPR regulations, knowing about digital consents, and in general, all the laws that go with having a website. Sometimes, we would have liked more support in that area. There could also be more features coming out on the platform, but I know they are already working on that. I know they're changing the way they manage that.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It has a customizable checkout experience, customizable homepage, everything can be customized."
"It is a very flexible solution."
"The development capabilities are very powerful, which is what my customers know and why they buy this product instead of something else."
"Commerce Cloud's best features include sales service and cloud marketing."
"Salesforce Commerce Cloud offers a personalized experience tailored to each B2B client. It allows for easy customization according to specific customer needs. Additionally, once a customer finalizes a product with pricing, negotiations and settled prices can be logged into the transcript for future reference and reuse. These features make the platform highly adaptable and efficient, providing a seamless and customizable process tailored to individual preferences."
"The platform is capable of handling thousands of orders per hour and Demandware take care of the scalability and hosting infrastructure, so you do not have to worry about that."
"​Ability to quickly add content and manage products along with associated web content easily."
"Demandware is at the top of the list when it comes to a SaaS-model e-Commerce solution for its ease of use, low start-up costs (compared to an on-premise solution) and scalability."
"This product is highly customizable. We use the standard system but we have extended it quite a bit."
"The site saves us the time we used to spend on emails and phone calls with customers, has helped reduce manual work because we're not entering in phone orders or email orders, and has driven a 10 to 15 percent increase in new customers along with strong adoption by existing customers."
"Using Sana Commerce has helped to increase customer engagement online."
"We use Sana Commerce with Microsoft Dynamics on the back end and the native ERP integration works well. The fact that no third-party integrations are needed between our Sana Commerce web store and Microsoft Dynamics is important. It's one less thing to worry about when it comes to troubleshooting."
"The big benefit with Sana is our ability to interface with Microsoft Dynamics."
"The most valuable feature is the direct ERP integration, as it allows us to provide product availability and specific pricing in real-time. Customers can also order themselves in real-time."
"The main reason they chose Sana was because of the ERP connection in real-time, which gives us the ability to display product availability and specific prices for each customer, per article, in real-time."
"Eventually, when we got it up and running, the solution helped to streamline our processes for bridging our ERP and eCommerce systems."
 

Cons

"The cloud services, the information security services, and the compliance support services."
"As its code base is hidden, we have little scope for our own customization. We compulsorily have to go with the partners they have chosen."
"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."
"The dashboards for this solution could be improved."
"If your organization has a nonstandard or niche business model or audience, the fast nature of the solution may not be a good fit."
"The community is very closed source. If you don't buy it, you won't be able to learn it."
"If you have followed the best practices you will not have a problem, however you are allowed to change the caching for different pages and that may cause a lot of problems with the performance."
"In terms of application performance, it could be a bit quicker."
"Their support should have more in-depth knowledge about different ERP solutions that they connect to."
"The performance can be improved. Sometimes, the system is really slow because of the ERP integration."
"I'd rate their customer service a nine out of 10. I think they're in demand and a little overloaded on work. Sometimes it takes a little bit of time for them to get to our work."
"The performance can be improved. Sometimes, the system is really slow because of the ERP integration. I'm not sure whether this is a problem with Sana Commerce or the ERP system but overall, it could be faster. When it comes to usability, if it takes too much time to load, then it's not the best."
"We also didn't realize this going into it, but there is an RQS (requirements gathering) phase, which takes about a month. After that, there is a development phase that takes another month. There are also testing and go-live. If you want to introduce any new features or functionality, it's at least a three to four-month process, possibly more, because of the way their structure works. Everything has to be customized. They are resource-challenged as well."
"One problem that we encounter is that it's difficult to upgrade as a result of making a large number of customer-specific adaptations."
"There could also be more support about everything that is related to website management, which is not strictly related to the B2B tool. These are the things like knowing about GDPR regulations, knowing about digital consents, and in general, all the laws that go with having a website. Sometimes, we would have liked more support in that area."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is fairly reasonable."
"There are no significant upfront license costs."
"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."
"Salesforce is not a cheap solution."
"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."
"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 licensing works on a per-user basis."
"When we got version 9.2, it was a good price. Everything is moving to the subscription-based cloud model, and that's probably a little high when you look at the lifetime cost."
"They have a policy of a price per legal entity. So, if you are a company that operates in one country, that is, if you're just an American company, or you're just a Spanish company or just a British company, then that probably makes sense. We are a global company, and we have operations in 20 to 30 different countries. So, we are interested in implementing Sana in potentially 20 to 30 countries. Right now, the pricing model of Sana has a limitation. They are almost asking for the same price for the new country when in many cases, a new country will just be a new small rollout. That's because it is the same solution that gets implemented everywhere. So, to me, it is not the same price if you are maintaining 10 Sanas that are looking exactly the same and are working exactly the same in 10 different countries. To me, these should not cost 10 times more than one. They don't yet have a good grasp of how to manage global companies like ours. That is something we are talking to them about, and we are in discussions with them about. So, hopefully, they will learn."
"Sana's pricing is fair. It could be more competitive. It's not so much the licensing cost, it's the additional development."
"Support costs are in addition to the standard licensing fees, and they vary per month, based on how much we use them. It is not very expensive."
