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

"It is a scalable solution."
"The solution is quite stable."
"The pipeline and lead management features are the most valuable."
"The implementation team can customise the implementation to customer needs."
"The features that are core to Salesforce including documentation and the variety of integrations available are most valuable."
"The conversion of opportunities and leads to accounts is one of the most valuable features."
"There is a good community of developers for the platform."
"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."
"Salesforce Commerce Cloud offers a personalized experience tailored to each B2B client. It allows for easy customization according to specific customer needs. Additionally, once a customer finalizes a product with pricing, negotiations and settled prices can be logged into the transcript for future reference and reuse. These features make the platform highly adaptable and efficient, providing a seamless and customizable process tailored to individual preferences."
 

Cons

"They should provide integration with social networking sites."
"Salesforce's technical support is not as good as Elastic Path."
"In terms of application performance, it could be a bit quicker."
"The connection with Marketing Cloud should be improved."
"The community is very closed source. If you don't buy it, you won't be able to learn it."
"If your organization has a nonstandard or niche business model or audience, the fast nature of the solution may not be a good fit."
"Salesforce Commerce Cloud could improve overall customization. Having a template deployment would be a useful feature."
"The solution should have more and faster reporting, as well as better performance."
"The dashboards for this solution could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution's price is reasonable."
"I give the price of the solution a three out of ten."
"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."
"There are no significant upfront license costs."
"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 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."
"The pricing is fairly reasonable."
