Easy to use, robust and fast checkout capabilities, and offers a wholesale interface for B2B customers
There is very little that needs to be improved, as BigCommerce is very proactive and is continuously releasing new updates. They are very effective at modernizing their product, but since no product is perfect and can always improve, a few things that I think BigCommerce could do better is to create a better reporting module for merchants. There are apps available that help with this in their app store, but it would be nice to have this built-in for things such as running reports for sales tax reporting. The theme editor that was recently added is wonderful, but it not totally intuitive.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"BigCommerce has an excellent B2B interface, which gives merchants the ability to sell with different price books and the ability to segment clients."
"Not having to worry about maintaining one's own infrastructure."
"The features that are core to Salesforce including documentation and the variety of integrations available are most valuable."
"The product is easy to use."
"Salesforce Commerce Cloud offers effective architecture, ease of integration with third-party systems, and environments to test web store functionalities."
"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."
"​Ability to quickly add content and manage products along with associated web content easily."
"Commerce Cloud's best features include sales service and cloud marketing."
"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."
 

Cons

"The theme editor that was recently added is wonderful, but it not totally intuitive."
"Multi-tenant infrastructure is a blessing and a curse."
"Salesforce Commerce Cloud could improve overall customization. Having a template deployment would be a useful feature."
"Salesforce's technical support is not as good as Elastic Path."
"Pricing is a disadvantage because it is expensive."
"The back office of Salesforce could be more user-friendly."
"The performance of the solution has room for improvement. We sometimes experience some delays."
"Salesforce Commerce Cloud should integrate more seamlessly with various systems, providing full order tracking from entry to delivery."
"If your organization has a nonstandard or niche business model or audience, the fast nature of the solution may not be a good fit."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The pricing is fairly reasonable."
"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."
"Salesforce is not a cheap solution."
"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."
"I give the price of the solution a three out of ten."
"There are no significant upfront license costs."
"The licensing works on a per-user basis."
"I don't know how much the solution costs per user, but I know it's our biggest cost in the company."
