IBM Digital Commerce Reviews

IBM Digital Commerce is well suited if you need something fairly streamlined for commerce and you have a mature back end system for fulfillment it is an easy fit to put it in. If there is complexity in your system and you need to design a process around a commerce platform, this would be a challenge. It has specific use cases given your business case.

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.

Websphere commerce is well suited if multiple sites are required based on geography, for branding, large customers. It is well suited for B2B model to handle different pricing and catalog filters for each business. It is not well suited if there are multiple external systems that drives the pricing an d promotions. WCS should be the master for pricing and promotion

WebSphere Commerce is particularly suitable for companies processing a large volume of orders - $40 million and above in a year.

It has good tools for site management and administration. Some companies have developed custom merchandise solutions too which are really convenient.
