Though good visibility is offered, the area of customization can be difficult to handle
The features of the product that I found to be the most instrumental in providing customer experience stem from the unified inventory and catalog management. The feature of the product that streamlined our company's order management and fulfillment processes is the order orchestration engine. I would rate the tool's ability to handle peak traffic and scale during any high-demand periods an eight to eight and a half out of ten since I have not had any major problems with the product. The measurable benefit my company has experienced from the use of the product stems from the fact that our organization's e-commerce orders have increased by five times compared to what it was earlier, especially if I consider the inclusion of campaigns. I would ask those who plan to use the solution to map out all their internal workflows and processes and then evaluate what they need, after which they need to look at the solutions with which they can do away, or instead of Orckestra, they could probably go ahead with Shopify. I would say that make sure that you really understand all your architecture and your workflows before settling on a solution. I rate the overall tool a seven out of ten.

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

"Inventory, visibility, catalog management, and order orchestration are the most valuable features of the solution."
"Not having to worry about maintaining one's own infrastructure."
"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 offers the best features and functionality, which are developed and refined over many years to provide a highly customized e-commerce experience."
"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."
"I find the reports to be the solution's most valuable feature."
"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 product is easy to use."
 

Cons

"The issue with Orckestra stems from the fact that if I want some customization, then I need to work with Orckestra's team, which is a slow process."
"In terms of application performance, it could be a bit quicker."
"The solution is expensive."
"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."
"This solution could be improved by providing additional artificial intelligence capabilities that are available out-of-the-box. It would be useful to have automatic forecasts using AI."
"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's technical support is not as good as Elastic Path."
"There could be more product integration in the ERP space."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is likely on the pricier side, though it is considered a budget platform compared to Salesforce."
"I don't know how much the solution costs per user, but I know it's our biggest cost in the company."
"I give the price of the solution a three out of ten."
"The product is expensive."
"There are no significant upfront license costs."
"The licensing works on a per-user basis."
"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."
"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."
