Featured Reviews

Vijay Subramanyam - PeerSpot reviewer
Offers seamless integrations and effective architecture for retail operations
Salesforce Commerce Cloud offers effective architecture, ease of integration with third-party systems, and environments to test web store functionalities. Users can manage the site independently with the administration panel and benefit from features like easy marketing submissions, discount codes, and integration with Apple Pay and Bazaarvoice for reviews. The platform is also robust, with managed infrastructure by Salesforce.
Saleem Shar - PeerSpot reviewer
Easy to set up, and extremely scalable, but is expensive
The solution is complex due to the rapid development of new features in SAP Commerce, which requires the changing of older technologies and migration to new ones. This makes the process quite complex, especially when migrating from one version to another. For example, I have been using SAP Commerce versions 18 and 19.

"Salesforce Commerce Cloud offers effective architecture, ease of integration with third-party systems, and environments to test web store functionalities."
"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."
"The simple steps for configuring your checkout processes, as well as the promotional engine, are the most valuable features of this solution."
"We like that this solution gives our B2B clients a lot of functionality straight 'out of the box', meaning that they don't need to carry out a lot of configuration to be able to use it."
"It's the best tool on the market and is a complete e-commerce system for product management. For instance, if the customer has a log enterprise level product, they can manage it here."
"If you have a client and they want to have an e-commerce project that is based on solid principles, you don't need too much time to develop it."
"The user interface can be customized."
"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."
"Hybris offers a platform designed for speed."
"The tool has good performance."
 

Cons

"Salesforce Commerce Cloud could improve overall customization. Having a template deployment would be a useful feature."
"Pricing is a disadvantage because it is expensive."
"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."
"The solution should have more and faster reporting, as well as better performance."
"Four years ago, we linked Salesforce Commerce Cloud with Outlook, and this was a nightmare because a contact in 20 opportunities is a common scenario."
"We would like more interaction from Salesforce about new versions."

"The learning curve is high."
"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."
"They have just started to work with the cloud, but they only support Microsoft Azure."
"A public cloud solution of this software would open great possibilities."
"The solution is complex due to the rapid development of new features in SAP Commerce, which requires the changing of older technologies and migration to new ones."
"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."
"The WCS management or content management is not that great."
"The support team should improve the response time."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Salesforce is not a cheap solution."
"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."
"There are no significant upfront license costs."
"I give the price of the solution a three out of ten."
"The pricing is fairly reasonable."
"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 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."
"The licensing works on a per-user basis."
"The price is too high."
"The solution is expensive."
"I don't know the cost, but it can be expensive."
"The price is quite high."
"SAP Hybris is expensive, which is why only the large clients use it. At the same time, I think that the return on investment warrants it."
"The product is expensive. I would rate its price a seven out of ten. The solution's licensing is yearly."
"The solution is very expensive in Turkey."
"This is an expensive solution."
