ACC is built on Magento Commerce Pro and is integrated with Adobe Experience Manager. It was originally developed as an open-source eCommerce content management solution by Varien, Inc. Varien was acquired by eBay…

Oracle Commerce is an ecommerce platform that helps B2C and B2B businesses connect customer and sales data from their CRM to their financial and operational data so they can offer personalized experiences to buyers across sales channels.
A lot of competitors are claiming they can do the same thing that Magento can do. I think it isn't true. PrestaShop and WooCommerce are not good enough to be used instead of Magento. They do not have the necessary scalability and caching system that Magento has. The only system …
Again - Oracle's seamless interconnectivity with Databases (Oracle DBs), its CRM services or other partner CRM services, micro/macro management which are necessary for businesses to have that information at each view. In addition to these crucial factors, the content management …
In many cases it depends on the needs of the client. In some cases they might already have experience with some part of one of these products. I have not seen a product with a better line of APIs that make it easy to get a site up and running.
OCC is PCI compliant which is very important for customers. Magento had problems regarding this in the past. Furthermore, Oracle Cloud Datacenter is PCI compliant, so there is no need to do an audit by the Oracle customer. Oracle's CX Suite offers more functionalities to …
Ultimately, if a company is looking for a solid industry-known E-Commerce system, Magento Commerce does exactly what it's intended to do. The headaches start when your company wants to start getting granular in customizations of the platform to meet specific business needs (which every company eventually has). This becomes a major issue down the road when trying to upgrade said customizations as the core software updates.
Oracle CX Commerce (formerly Oracle Commerce Cloud) is very well suited for B2B commerce transactions. The wonderful thing about this software is its ability to regularly update on an automatic basis, and keep up with upgrades. Oracle CX Commerce provides my organization with greater flexibility and quick integration processes. I would recommend this to any organization trying to set up their own storefront.
Magento Commerce Cloud allows us to develop our own custom solutions for problems that we need solved.
Magento Commerce Cloud can also be integrated with many of the third part vendors that we use. This has made many implementations go very smoothly and tends to be much quicker than developing our own custom solution.
There are many features available right out of the box. Many of them we have not implemented yet, but it is great to have them available to us when we are ready.
It uses an effective algorithm to provide users with product recommendations based on other products they’ve previously viewed.
It comes with a decent support platform, where Oracle is attentive and provides help diagnosing issues that may arise within the environment.
Oracle CX Commerce comes with a developer tool known as the DCU Tool, which is very helpful when it comes to pushing changes from environment to environment. The DCU Tool is also a good resource to use for source control.
The platform is difficult to tune and can be slow. Even with expensive best in class hardware the platform performance can be an issue. Even with caching poor coding can lead to unacceptable performance and user experiences.
The total cost of ownership for the platform can be quite high as a great deal of technical expertise is required to modify, develop, troubleshoot and maintain the platform. The costs of initial development are only a down payment on what a Magento store will cost. For mid size companies with substantial web revenues this can be overcome for smaller businesses the total cost of ownership may be prohibitive.
Security of the platform can be an issue. Magento is often targeted by hackers and much of the security is the responsibility of the store owner.
Customer experience - Oracle CX is already a leader and I bet they'll make it even better surpassing all expectations.
They've [been] the best eCommerce model solution for any kind of business at least for book publishing and logistics management - thus can't complain here either.
It has the best overall price point. It is super cheap and the connection between our ERP system is unmatched by any other Ecommerce sites we have talked with. We honestly can't get this level of complex customization without having to spend a fortune somewhere else. It is able to do everything we need it to do for the right price.
Oracle Commerce Cloud is definitely not my favorite platform to use, however our company has gotten very comfortable with the way our website operates using it so I do not see us switching to a different product any time soon. Over time, I’ve grown to have a love/hate relationship with this product, but as I learn more about what it offers I come to appreciate its functionality more
It is great in that you are able to fully customize you site however you need, but only if you have a developer on you team. It is not very user friendly if you are trying to wipe up a quick site for a small business. You would need technical knowledge to create a site.
Magento scales much better than any of the other software when it comes to very large e-commerce websites. But all the other options are more user-friendly for smaller sites as there is a bit of a learning curve in learning to manage Magento. Customization is better along with WooCommerce and OpenCart as self-hosted solutions vs. BigCommerce and Shopify which are hosted. Magento should be the first choice for large, extensive e-commerce solutions,but for smaller stores, I would recommend the others first.
The upgrade cycle of OCC and the subscription model ensure we are always on the latest and greatest version of the platform. The responsive design makes it easier for small departments to provide an optimum mobile experience. The stability of the platform is far superior to our on-prem solution.
Magento definitely lets us get a return on our investment. Because we have developers who can customize Magento to our needs, we have been able to create a beautiful and effective website, run promotions, and serve up customized product display pages that are effective and beautifully branded.
Magento has also caused a lot of time to be invested in doing something that seems simple, but without a lot of knowledge, end up taking far more time than could otherwise be better-spent.
We have had to outsource some of our development work due to Magento being developer-focused rather than marketer/merchandiser-focused. I've used other website management software that is comparable to Magento's capabilities but is far easier to use, that even someone like me (with basic HTML/CSS skills) can customize the front-end without requiring a back-end developer to intervene.
