Allows for easy customization according to specific customer needs
Salesforce Commerce Cloud is a cloud-based multi-tenant platform. Customizing the application requires a significant level of technical expertise, particularly in native Lightning Web Components development and Apex Development, which are the platform's native languages. It's essential to be aware of these limitations and any related recommendations. The limitation is the restriction on data storage, which can be crucial when dealing with clients who generate large orders and invoices. In such cases, alternative solutions may need to be considered, and integration with other applications may be necessary. While it offers streamlined integration capabilities with various applications, the data storage limit is a factor that must be considered when planning marketing strategies and solutions.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Not having to worry about maintaining one's own infrastructure."
"The solution is quite stable."
"Commerce Cloud's best features include sales service and cloud marketing."
"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 ease of customization is valuable."
"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."
"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."
"Hybris offers a platform designed for speed."
"The user interface can be customized."
"We have found the B2B, B2C and D2C very valuable."
"SAP Hybris Commerce is a very advanced e-commerce platform compared to other platforms such as WebSphere Commerce, Oracle Commerce, and others."
"Some of the most valuable features are its personalized offering, promotion engine, and customer support module."
"I chose this out-of-box E-Commerce solution because it helps you start up your E-Commerce business in a very good amount of time since Hybris already provides you the end-to-end flow with minimum customization. You can quickly go live with the customer."
"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."
"The tool has good performance."
 

Cons

"Salesforce's technical support is not as good as Elastic Path."
"Multi-tenant infrastructure is a blessing and a curse."
"In terms of application performance, it could be a bit quicker."
"There is always room for improvement with any solution."
"There is space to have better communication with other kinds of platforms."
"Pricing is a disadvantage because it is expensive."
"There could be more product integration in the ERP space."
"Being able to customize everything in general to our specific needs would be pretty awesome."
"Like every other SAP solution, it is very heavy. Also, the transition to the cloud is not very smooth because it is not really a SaaS solution. The upgrades are also not as smooth as you would expect from a complete cloud solution. It should have a product recommendation feature as well as a promotional feature. It should also have more personalizations."
"It is very expensive to implement, which is why many companies who can't afford would normally move to Salesforce or Magento."
"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."
"The stack needs to be improved; they need to start using more new technologies."
"The support team should improve the response time."
"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."
"Hybris is not currently using microservices."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

They say "Beauty is in the eyes of the beholder", so if you are a purist in one of these technologies you would probably never agree to my comparison matrix, However these are my personal opinion, From my experience standpoint I have longest exposure to WCS Commerce Suite and the least with ATG…
