Deena Dayalan K - PeerSpot reviewer
Global Leader Application Operations & Operational Excellence at a manufacturing company with 10,001+ employees
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.
Anton Karzhavin - PeerSpot reviewer
Head of Business analysis and Consulting at EffectiveSoft
Platform has supported global rollouts and has delivered faster, more reliable commerce journeys
In my view, SAP Commerce Cloud can be improved as it currently feels too heavy, with customers nowadays expecting solutions to be deployed in months rather than years. This is the most significant issue with SAP Commerce Cloud, which caters primarily to Fortune 500 companies and falls short for mid-sized businesses. I do not have a clear idea on which specific feature they should implement to better serve the smaller business market, despite their several past attempts. Regarding potential improvements for SAP Commerce Cloud, I am not the best person to discuss deployments as I lack a DevOps background. However, I believe the primary enhancement should be in their vision and communication of product benefits. Personally, I have found SAP salespeople to be less friendly compared to their Salesforce counterparts. Their inflexibility regarding discounts and offers might be an area for improvement.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The data analysis that they provide to you is good."
"The ease of customization is valuable."
"Not having to worry about maintaining one's own infrastructure."
"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."
"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."
"The product is easy to use."
"I find the reports to be the solution's most valuable feature."
"If you want a straightforward e-Commerce site, this is a good product with less setup formalities and easy to use, but if you want in-depth customization this might not be a good choice for you."
"SAP Hybris provides us with all of the e-commerce features that a client could need."
"In one week, we can build a complete e-commerce solution."
"Its dashboards, business features, and user-friendliness of a lot of business interfaces are valuable. We work on B2B projects, and it is the most efficient software solution for B2B. The B2B accelerator is very much appreciated by our customers because it has some use cases that are ready for production. For some projects, we proposed the SAP Hybris solution because it was sufficient for use cases related to product management and data quality. With other e-commerce platforms, we would have needed integration with another product information management software."
"The user interface can be customized."
"SAP Hybris Commerce is a very advanced e-commerce platform compared to other platforms such as WebSphere Commerce, Oracle Commerce, and others."
"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."
"We have found the B2B, B2C and D2C very valuable."
"All products reside in SAP and all other systems access and update their products and prices in one place, which reduces redundancy."
 

Cons

"Demandware is strong across the board."
"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."
"The cloud services, the information security services, and the compliance support services."
"Salesforce Commerce Cloud could improve overall customization. Having a template deployment would be a useful feature."
"The back office of Salesforce could be more user-friendly."
"For smaller companies, it is not going to work."
"Needs better access to code and customizability of the solution."
"Being able to customize everything in general to our specific needs would be pretty awesome."
"It is very expensive to implement, which is why many companies who can't afford would normally move to Salesforce or Magento."
"Like every other SAP solution, it is very heavy."
"The initial setup was complex because it was a prime migration from the PrestaShop platform to commerce cloud, and it was very, very complex to migrate some data from one side to the other."
"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."
"Sometimes it's slow in accessing products. Also IMPEX upload was complex."
"They could include additional types of payment implementations. Right now they are just providing CyberSourse."
"Hybris is not currently using microservices."
"The main issue for improvement with SAP Commerce Cloud is the UX/UI and the fact that it's difficult to change it because of technical constraints, which makes it insufficient as it currently exists."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I don't know how much the solution costs per user, but I know it's our biggest cost in the company."
"The product is expensive."
"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 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 pricing is fairly reasonable."
"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 give the price of the solution a three out of ten."
"This is an expensive solution."
"The solution is very expensive in Turkey."
"The product is expensive. I would rate its price a seven out of ten. The solution's licensing is yearly."
"The price is quite high."
"The solution is expensive."
"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."
"I don't know the cost, but it can be expensive."
"The price is too high."
