SAP Commerce Cloud vs. Spree

For a straight forward B2B shop with a simple frontend the whole SAP Commerce Suite is pretty robust yet fairly expensive. It is still not a true and full blown headless solution so if your enterprise is on a MACH strategy then this product would not be the foundation for it. If a company wants to build rich CX frontend experiences, then Spartacus is probably not the best and a custom frontend would be recommended, in that case you compromise on the advantages of a full blown solution from one vendor

My favorite scenario is when a customer calls and doesn't know their login for our website. We sell snowboards, very seasonal, so people tend to forget login and password info quite a bit. No need to send a reset or anything along those lines - I can reset the password and immediately tell them the update. Super easy!

• There are some functions that are a bit outdated, more like the user interface; it is worth mentioning that this is a very important tool because it is the first contact that customers have with the software and the company as such.
