A flexible solution that offers stability at the same time
Salesforce Commerce Cloud is mature, so they have a lot of information about cost, documentation, and everything. Salesforce's technical support is not as good as Elastic Path. Hence, support needs to be improved. The marketing services in the solution need improvement. We needed it in some of our use cases to make some marketing-related things. In the end, the company decided to do marketing with another technology. So I don't know why, but I could say that marketing services or features are needed in the solution. In the beginning, it was kind of difficult to understand the experience builder and B2B solutions. So probably, I would like to create the storefronts with an e-commerce builder. I am not sure about it, but it was like that. Like, difficult to understand the use and purpose of an experience builder. Then, we discovered that the B2B cloud solution was also for creating the storefronts, but we didn't understand at the beginning very well that part. Salesforce Commerce Cloud should have a better pricing plan for smaller businesses.

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.

"Salesforce offers the best features and functionality, which are developed and refined over many years to provide a highly customized e-commerce experience."
"The product is easy to use."
"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."
"Hybris Commerce's most valuable feature is the simple integration with ERP."
"We have found the B2B, B2C and D2C very valuable."
"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."

"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."
"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 community is very closed source. If you don't buy it, you won't be able to learn it."
"Multi-tenant infrastructure is a blessing and a curse."
"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."

"Hybris is not currently using microservices."
"They could include additional types of payment implementations. Right now they are just providing CyberSourse."
"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."
"The WCS management or content management is not that great."
"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."
"A public cloud solution of this software would open great possibilities."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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 pricing is fairly reasonable."
"I give the price of the solution a three out of ten."
"The licensing works on a per-user basis."
"There are no significant upfront license costs."
"The product is expensive."
"Salesforce is not a cheap solution."
"The product is expensive. I would rate its price a seven out of ten. The solution's licensing is yearly."
"This is an expensive solution."
"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 solution is expensive."
"The solution is very expensive in Turkey."
"The price is quite high."
"I don't know the cost, but it can be expensive."
"The price is too high."

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…
