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.

A scalable tool that can be integrated with any platform
The product's setup is not a big issue. I would rate the product's setup an eight out of ten. The time taken for deployment depends from project to project. I have worked on projects which completed deployment in three to six months and others where the process took a year to complete. We follow the agile methodology for the tool's deployment. We conduct the unit testing, and IT testing and then release the solution to our platform. You need a 25-30 member team to manage the deployment process which can include business analysts, project managers, front-end and back-end developers, and QAs. Four to five technical staff is required for the product's maintenance. This technical staff team analyzes issues and asks the developers to fix them. The issues get fixed and implemented in the solution's next release.

"We have found the B2B, B2C and D2C very valuable."

Cons

"The back office of Salesforce could be more user-friendly."
"In the next release, Commerce Cloud should add CRM dashboards."
"The performance of the solution has room for improvement. We sometimes experience some delays."
"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 is expensive."
"The dashboards for this solution could be improved."
"There is space to have better communication with other kinds of platforms."
"The WCS management or content management is not that great."

"I give the price of the solution a three out of ten."

"The product is expensive."
"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."
"The solution is very expensive in Turkey."
"This is an expensive solution."
"The price is too high."
"The price is quite high."
"The product is expensive. I would rate its price a seven out of ten. The solution's licensing is yearly."

"The solution is expensive."
