Needs improvement in the area of integration and should offer better adaptability to new environments
I have been trying to put together a website for the last year and a half, and I have been facing some problems because the tool is unable to integrate properly with my ERP product. It is difficult to find coders for HCL Digital Commerce who can do a good job within a reasonable amount of time. I think the development curve of the tool is just too long, and there aren't enough good coders, while whoever is available takes a lot of time. 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. If you try to tell HCL Digital Commerce that you need front-end integration, which is a standard practice right now, HCL will take a lot of time as a lot of things are not available as an out-of-the-box feature. You have to spend more time and money to get things developed in HCL Digital Commerce, which I believe causes challenges for users, especially in an Indian scenario where the tool has a primary market.

Can be connected to any of the SAP tools and is a complete e-commerce system
The WCS management or content management is not that great. Every one and a half to two years, Hybris stops updating or supporting previous versions. This means that the end-customer has to update their version every time. SAP Hybris can work on the virtual commerce (VR) feature, which is new to the market.

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 very mature product. It has a lot of features. 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."
"The most valuable solution is that it allows you to adapt it according to the customer's needs."
"I haven't faced any issues with the product's stability."
"The tool is easy to use and flexible. It is flexible enough to tailor to your requirements."
"Has all the modules needed for an order management solution."

"The tool has good performance."

"Some of the most valuable features are its personalized offering, promotion engine, and customer support module."
"Hybris offers a platform designed for speed."
"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 tool supports multiple currencies."
"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."
 

Cons

"The product catalog is an area that needs improvement."

"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 WCS management or content management is not that great."
"The support team should improve the response time."
"A public cloud solution of this software would open great possibilities."
"We would like to be able to easily add functionality to the CMS, such as instant messaging. This would make is much more usable, especially in B2C scenarios."
"The learning curve is high."
"They have just started to work with the cloud, but they only support Microsoft Azure."
"SAP Commerce needs to have a credit limit like Salesforce. Currently, we have to do the coding and customization and then showcase it to the user."
"Hybris is not currently using microservices."

WCS vs Hybris vs ATG - Feature Smackdown
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…
