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.

Excellent, scalability, functionality, and flexibility; but, the price could be reduced
The simple steps for configuring your checkout processes, as well as the promotional engine, are the most valuable features of this solution. They are both excellent, and you can easily customize them. The integration side of it with Hybris OCC to integrate with other systems is also effective. That's also a useful feature. It primarily has a lot of features that provide a significant advantage, and it's very good. It's out of the box, it's a new spectrum. It's good, but it depends on how you are customizing it to your benefit. It depends on your business objective and your angle, and how you want to go about it. It's flexible, you can do anything with it. I don't have any issues with the interface.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"It has a customizable checkout experience, customizable homepage, everything can be customized."
"​Ability to quickly add content and manage products along with associated web content easily."
"I have found the list creation and dashboard customization features valuable."
"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."
"The solution is quite stable."
"The implementation team can customise the implementation to customer needs."
"Commerce Cloud's best features include sales service and cloud marketing."
"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."
"We have found the B2B, B2C and D2C very valuable."
"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."
"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."
"Some of the most valuable features are its personalized offering, promotion engine, and customer support module."
"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."
"The tool supports multiple currencies."
"The simple steps for configuring your checkout processes, as well as the promotional engine, are the most valuable features of this solution."
"SAP Hybris Commerce is a very advanced e-commerce platform compared to other platforms such as WebSphere Commerce, Oracle Commerce, and others."
 

Cons

"The community is very closed source. If you don't buy it, you won't be able to learn it."
"Salesforce Commerce Cloud could improve overall customization. Having a template deployment would be a useful feature."
"Pricing is a disadvantage because it is expensive."
"The connection with Marketing Cloud should be improved."
"The solution is expensive."
"Salesforce's technical support is not as good as Elastic Path."
"There is always room for improvement with any solution."
"In the next release, Commerce Cloud should add CRM dashboards."
"It is very expensive to implement, which is why many companies who can't afford would normally move to Salesforce or Magento."
"They have just started to work with the cloud, but they only support Microsoft Azure."
"The learning curve is high."
"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."
"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 initial setup was complex because it was a prime migration from the PrestaShop platform to commerce cloud, and it was very, very complex to migrate some data from one side to the other."
"A public cloud solution of this software would open great possibilities."
"Like every other SAP solution, it is very heavy. Also, the transition to the cloud is not very smooth because it is not really a SaaS solution. The upgrades are also not as smooth as you would expect from a complete cloud solution. It should have a product recommendation feature as well as a promotional feature. It should also have more personalizations."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"I don't know how much the solution costs per user, but I know it's our biggest cost in the company."
"The pricing is fairly reasonable."
"The licensing works on a per-user basis."
"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."
"Salesforce is not a cheap solution."
"The product is expensive."
"I give the price of the solution a three out of ten."
"The solution is very expensive in Turkey."
"The product is expensive. I would rate its price a seven out of ten. The solution's licensing is yearly."
"The solution is expensive."
"This is an expensive solution."
"I don't know the cost, but it can be expensive."
"The price is too high."
"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."
