The implementation team can customize the implementation to the customer's needs
Pros and Cons
  • "The implementation team can customise the implementation to customer needs."
  • "It is similar to ATG, but some features can be exchanged between the 2."

What is our primary use case?

We use it for eCommerce, which is similar to ATG.

What is most valuable?

The sign-up process is easy, as you can link it to other products and sign with your Gmail account, for example. The implementation team can customise the implementation to customer needs. 

What needs improvement?

It is similar to ATG, but some features can be exchanged between the 2.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using Salesforce cloud for about 2 years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Salesforce is a stable solution. We have not encountered any issues.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Salesforce is scalable.

How are customer service and technical support?

We have not had to use technical support.

How was the initial setup?

Set up and configuration of Salesforce is straight forward.

What about the implementation team?

In our team, we have 5 people involved in the use and implementation of salesforce, including managers, developers and administrators. Implementation can take up to 2 months. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The licensing works on a per-user basis.

Which other solutions did I evaluate?

We have considered using ATG.

What other advice do I have?

I would rate this product 8 out of 10. It is a good eCommerce solution. Compared to ATG, it would be down to choosing which product you needed for your business long term.

Good visualization, stable, scalable, useful filters, and user-friendly
Pros and Cons
  • "The filters are very useful, and easy to customize. it's very easy to operate."
  • "For everything that we have used this solution for, we have had the best experience."
  • "There is always room for improvement with any solution."
  • "While the price is reasonable for what you are getting, it could still be better."

What is most valuable?

The most valuable feature is the lead matrix that Commerce provides, which helps us to filter out the leads. It also filters out the companies that are right for us and need to target.

The visualization is very good. It's not confusing. If you are doing an analysis on your Commerce, It's very easy.

The filters are very useful and easy to customize. It's very easy to operate.

The user-friendly interface is better when compared with other CRMs.

For everything that we have used this solution for, we have had the best experience. This si the reason that we have not switched to another CRM. We will continue with this for a very long time.

They are constantly iterating and that is a good thing.

What needs improvement?

There is always room for improvement with any solution.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been working with Salesforce Commerce Cloud for approximately three years.

We are using the latest version.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

Definitely, this is a stable solution. In terms of volume, and capability, it's very stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It is very stable. We started using it in a very small segment of our company and now we've expanded it. We have distributed it in geography.

First, we were using it only for the North American client base, and have now, expanded for global usage.

It's very scalable for us.

How are customer service and technical support?

I haven't used technical support because I haven't required it.

From what I understand, it's pretty fast, and they have a 24 hour turnaround time policy that they follow. Any query is responded to within 24 hours.

Some of my team members have been in contact with technical support, but I have not personally.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I have used Marketo and HubSpot. There are many pre-existing filters, but they're not always useful.

There is a lot of filtration which makes it difficult to customize.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

While the price is reasonable for what you are getting, it could still be better. For a small business, it might be too expensive.

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.

It is something that is not too off-the-shelf or too expensive, but the price could be better.

What other advice do I have?

I am very satisfied with this solution. I don't need any changes in it for what I use. They may provide other features in the future that may be very helpful for me, but I have not thought about what I would like to see.

When you are first starting, you should go through all of the tutorials. When we look at the product or look at a tool, we realize that we use the basic aspects of it. You want to have a full understanding of how to customize it for your needs, and data analysis. It's very customizable, unless you don't know how to do it then it won't be utilized fully.

There are several tutorials available online to use, that will teach you how to use it, and to customize it for your usage and requirements.

Take the time to go through the tutorials beforehand.

I would rate Salesforce Commerce Cloud a nine out of ten.

Cartridges take away the need to develop a lot.
Pros and Cons
  • "Customer Service: Actually, their ticket system and help area is very good."
  • "Commerce Cloud is not cheap. You will not find a cost-effective solution with official systems integrators."

What is most valuable?

  • The various cartridges like Customer Service (although be aware, this is a community based cartridge so a lot of SIs will recommend ZenDesk instead but that seems more for their own piece of mind in support rather than the customer requirements), PayPal and Amazon Pay: They aren't plug and go, but they take away the need to develop a lot, so they reduce costs.
  • Its scalability. (You must prebook if you have a sale - see the Stability Issues section for more details).
  • Reporting is very good.
  • Up-sell ability is very good.
  • Out of the box gave the basics and you build from there.

How has it helped my organization?

It's allowed us to merchandise FMCG in a speedier way.

We can easily report on daily customers, sales, conversions, etc.

What needs improvement?

Commerce Cloud is not cheap. You will not find a cost-effective solution with official systems integrators. They need a lot more smaller companies offering SI solutions. It can only help the marketplace

Out-of-the-box solutions should present a viable e-commerce site and they sort of do but also sort of don't.

Demandware claims to have an OOTB solution – and to some degree it does – but you can’t really run with it. You need a systems integrator to help manage the deployment. Demandware makes these guys pay a license fee to simply call themselves SIs so right off the bat you have prices that will include the off setting off that cost. The traditional Dermandware recommended SIs are large and so the market is sort of closed, in some respect, and this influences the prices offered for a developed solution. Demandware needs to encourage smaller SIs and development houses (and there are some coming through now) to allow competition.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have used it for a year.

What was my experience with deployment of the solution?

I did not overly encounter any deployment issues with the platform.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

You must tell Commerce Cloud that you are having sales/holidays (even Xmas), so this is not a scalable solution without intervention. When you raise a ticket in their support and tell them, though, it's problem-free, so it's a point to mention, not a huge obstacle.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

As mentioned in the Stability Issue section, scalability must be requested.

How is customer service and technical support?

Customer Service:

Actually, their ticket system and help area is very good. You can find everything you need there.

Technical Support:

Technical support is very good. You have a team of people ready to help and fix issues.

How was the initial setup?

It's a big solution. Make sure you go through discovery thoroughly as it can be costly to redo bespoke work after (same with anything, though).

What about the implementation team?

A vendor team implemented it.

I'd recommend having skills in-house or getting a technical PM as a sounding board, so you can challenge system integrators.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

Look into prices carefully. The percentage "fee" charged on each sale is negotiable and can range from around 2% to almost 3%.

It provides a straightforward e-commerce solution, but it has little scope for customizations. We compulsorily have to go with the partners they have chosen.

What needs improvement?

They don't provide scope for more customization in the core module.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've used it for eight months.

The deployment is straightforward with cloud instances, but we don't have any control over the servers.

Almost no issues.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

As its code base is hidden, we have little scope for our own customization. We compulsorily have to go with the partners they have chosen.

Customer Service:

It's good - 7/10.

Technical Support:

It's good - 7/10.

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

How was the initial setup?

It was straightforward.

Keep a close eye on order volume throughput if this is your first cloud-based app. Because it's in the cloud, resource allocation can happen quickly because there's no hardware to allocate or deploy.
Pros and Cons
  • "Demandware is at the top of the list when it comes to a SaaS-model e-Commerce solution for its ease of use, low start-up costs (compared to an on-premise solution) and scalability."
  • "Demandware is strong across the board."

Valuable Features

Demandware is at the top of the list when it comes to a SaaS-model e-Commerce solution for it's ease of use, low start-up costs (compared to an On-Premise solution) and scalability. For companies who do not have their own internal IT departments to support a solution, Demandware is an excellent choice. There is relatively minimal setup beyond the usual data migration for catalog development and design elements for UI development.

OOTB APIs for integration to 3rd-party applications like Social Media, payment gateways and other critical applications also add to the low implementation level of effort. Like other smart e-Commerce platforms, Demandware has enjoyed the interactive relationship with business partners and Systems Integrators who actively implement the platform and develop industry-specific extensions and APis, subsequently incorporating those components into consecutive releases.

Improvements to My Organization

Demandware brings with it the opportunities for integration with Salesforce and backoffice applications that enable companies to consolidate their e-Commerce backbone and impose standard workflow functions, roles-based permissions for interaction with the platform, performance and sales reporting and other tools for companies to use as a step towards better e-Commerce management.

Room for Improvement

Demandware is strong across the board. It's difficult to point to a specific area for improvement because there are several variables outside the platform such as the implementation partner, the need to involve an agency for UI work, the amount of data a company needs to migrate, etc.

Use of Solution

Over 5 years

Deployment Issues

None. Demandware is a SaaS-model e-Comm platform so there is very little hands-on setup. Once you push from Staging to Production, you're done.

Stability Issues

Minimal. Keep a close eye on order volume throughput if this is your first cloud-based application. The typical adjustments for performance apply.

Scalability Issues

Minimal. Keep a close eye on order volume throughput if this is your first cloud-based application. Because it's in the cloud, resource allocation can happen quickly because there's no hardware to allocate or deploy. The typical adjustments for performance apply.

Customer Service and Technical Support

Customer Service:

Excellent. Demandware has continually improved it's commitment since the early days.

Technical Support:

Also excellent. Demandware's support team knows Java and the critical components well.

Initial Setup

Very straightforward which is why they are a perennial consideration for e-tailers.

Implementation Team

I was part of the team that did the implementation.

Pricing, Setup Cost and Licensing

The associated costs vary because of the nature of the platform. Clients pay for licenses and the subsequent fees for maintenance depend upon sales volume.
