If you're looking to build an online presence and are able to be profitable while paying for this platform, it's a great platform that typically ranks pretty high on google if you do your SEO well.
I would say if you are a real tiny business with only a select few items, you may not need a platform like EVOx but, you still could utilize it if it seems fitting for your business. It really depends on the business and what they are trying to do.
I think WebSphere Commerce is well suited for customers looking to sell products online that need robustness and scalability as a priority. It provides a complete order cycle out of the box, or you can integrate with your existing order fulfillment. Online shopping models like digital subscriptions or a marketplace are not well suited as it requires a lot of customization
The e-Marketing spots contain content associated with marketing activities to target customer segment - needs some improvement. The algorithm to set up the priority of each of the Web Activity with in eMarketing spot is little bit confusing.
The catalog load can be simplified.
WebSphere Commerce is a huge application - someone needs to spend at least 5-6 years to learn about the whole application.
The scalability and various configurations of the product allows for a wide range of e-commerce site features. It provides a storefront to begin with so it helps with speeding up development.
They are extremely efficient and quick to answer/respond to all of my questions an concerns. They also provided me with support articles that I can save and look back on in the future.
Evolution X feels better built specifically for our industry and helps to provide relevant supplier catalogues, it also opens us up to dialogue with new suppliers and partnerships to form around this. For instance our ACCO account has grown by x8 since we started adding their catalogue by Fusion Data via EVOX. PrestaShop is all added by spreadsheet and there is no pre-populated catalogue ready to add which means it relies on our in-house capabilities or the supplier to provide feeds to import which not many of them have
IBM Digital Commerce was a lot more customizable and had a good engine for us to make enhancements. We were not locked down to certain integrations and we were able to utilize a lot of the features outside of the box vs using a prescribed set of features and functionality that other tools would force us to use
With account setup this has saved a lot of time, where typically it may have taken 10 minutes to setup an account, customer can now do this themselves and even make changes, our old site relied entirely on a staff member and this has therefore reduced overhead
With exposure to Fusion Data our categories have grown hugely, particularly Beeswift into workwear where we never sold any workwear but the rare incidental from VOW Wholesale, we've been allowed to grow into other categories more frequently with returning customers and new.
