SAP Hybris Review
- Hybris YAAS - eCommerce as a Service. Great way to provide an eCommerce solution.
- Modular infrastructure. Third-party vendors can easily provide hybris modules for a particular eCommerce aspect: payment, tax, fulfillment etc.
- For a proprietary product hybris provides good documentation and community support.
Cons
- Promotion management is not flexible. It comes with a few out of the box promotions, but if you need to do something advanced you need to customize it.
- Customization of the promotions is very painful.
- The object-relational mapping framework (aka items.xml) is a bottleneck. It stores all meta-information in a database which causes migration problems. Hope they allow you to build a persistence layer with standard JPA.
- It's difficult to get help from official support. Last time I had to file a ticket through teh SAP system which wasn't user-friendly.
