Featured Reviews

Vijay Subramanyam - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers seamless integrations and effective architecture for retail operations
Salesforce Commerce Cloud offers effective architecture, ease of integration with third-party systems, and environments to test web store functionalities. Users can manage the site independently with the administration panel and benefit from features like easy marketing submissions, discount codes, and integration with Apple Pay and Bazaarvoice for reviews. The platform is also robust, with managed infrastructure by Salesforce.
Saleem Shar - PeerSpot reviewer
Easy to set up, and extremely scalable, but is expensive
The solution is complex due to the rapid development of new features in SAP Commerce, which requires the changing of older technologies and migration to new ones. This makes the process quite complex, especially when migrating from one version to another. For example, I have been using SAP Commerce versions 18 and 19.

"We have found the B2B, B2C and D2C very valuable."
"The tool has good performance."

"The tool supports multiple currencies."
"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."
"Hybris offers a platform designed for speed."
 

Cons

"We would like more interaction from Salesforce about new versions."
"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."
"There could be more product integration in the ERP space."
"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."
"The connection with Marketing Cloud should be improved."
"The solution should have more and faster reporting, as well as better performance."
"The back office of Salesforce could be more user-friendly."
"Pricing is a disadvantage because it is expensive."
"SAP Commerce needs to have a credit limit like Salesforce. Currently, we have to do the coding and customization and then showcase it to the user."

"In terms of what could be improved, I would say the product search. There will be multiple criteria to search products and there will be a number of products in different categories. The question is how soon can I find the product which I'm looking for. The search can be improved."
"They have just started to work with the cloud, but they only support Microsoft Azure."
