The best features HCL Digital Commerce offers include extensive possibilities to extend both the business logic and business layer as well as the persistence layer, allowing the addition of any type of business logic or database tables with flexibility, which is a significant advantage over other platforms I have worked with, particularly in the B2B area, where it is the strongest contender.

The best feature HCL Digital Commerce offers, in my experience, is flexibility, and during these years, the growth of the solution, especially in the integration area where I worked extensively, has been outstanding because we started by sending more than 15 files to load the catalog, and now on the API-first side, there is a huge benefit of integration with HCL Digital Commerce.

It is a very mature product, it has a lot of features, and it can also be very easily customized in order to reach goals or features that are not available, but mainly the fact that it's a very mature platform with all major features that are normally required by the clients is most valuable.

While there are no specific pain points, HCL Digital Commerce's complexity does require a unique architecture, and it would be beneficial to have an integrated architecture that simplifies end-user integration with other AWS cloud services.

There is room for improvement in HCL Digital Commerce, particularly regarding making the platform lighter since not all clients require a heavy solution that demands extensive effort and customization; further, performance improvements are needed, especially since the checkout process relies on outdated architecture.

One important way HCL Digital Commerce can be improved is by reducing the learning curve, as developing is not straightforward, which I have observed from my activity as a project manager in HCL projects, where customization inside the platform takes time.

I see a lot of room for improvement in HCL Digital Commerce, such as making customer reviews less cumbersome, enhancing promotion coupons and e-marketing features, improving CMS options compared to other CMS systems like Adobe Commerce, and addressing the lack of user-friendly features for building mobile apps, along with the challenge of tightly coupled systems that hinder autonomy.

The tool has a really rigid structure, so it is not something that has the simplicity to adapt to newer environments in a fast manner.

Another area of improvement is the user-friendliness of the back office stuff. This issue is still valid, and it is still a problem, but I know they are currently working on it.

The Product information Management is very basic, and the template for front-end coding could be improved.
