Overall Satisfaction with SAP Commerce Cloud

We moved all the client implementations from on-premise to cloud and have realized the ease of use of the software over the conventional one. Apart from ease in deployment and a cleaner structure of storefront, back office, and hac, this also gives Kibana based tracking of the logs and APM using Dynatrace.
  • Deployment
  • Debugging
  • Setting up environment specific variables
  • Isolating and monitoring server
  • Cleaner separation between different servers
  • build pipeline customization
  • access related issues
  • troubleshooting without SAP intervention
  • For my clients, it has streamlined the costs incurred in their IT infra as using SAP Commerce Cloud requires a lesser upfront setup
  • Due to flexibility in SAP Commerce Cloud, another client was able to scale up their operations and ended up with 5x of orders in the pandemic
There is still huge scope in branding and personalization, but in all the other aspects of the eCommerce solution, the SAP Commerce Cloud wins hands down and is able to provide a robust and reliable solution that can be customized as per the customer demands while adhering to the same industry standards that promote cleaner and resilient code for meeting both the current as well as future demands.
The SAP Commerce Cloud provides with flexibility in the integration as it allows for both the out-of-the-box integrations as well as custom REST and SOAP-based integrations.
This is more customizable than its competitors and is much more customizable and possesses greater flexibility as well as a multi-channel environment for flexibility in its delivery. It comes with Out of The Box setup for B2B, B2C, Telecom, Utility, Marketplace, and Chinese-based accelerators that quickly enable us to have a fully grown eCommerce system at our disposal.

Do you think SAP Commerce Cloud delivers good value for the price?

Yes

Are you happy with SAP Commerce Cloud's feature set?

Yes

Did SAP Commerce Cloud live up to sales and marketing promises?

Yes

Did implementation of SAP Commerce Cloud go as expected?

Yes

Would you buy SAP Commerce Cloud again?

Yes

It's best suited for existing applications built on Hybris (SAP CX) and can easily be used by the addition of a deployment descriptor that also houses environment-specific variables. However, for an application from scratch, it is not readily available from the cloud storage that users can simply clone and start using it. Not having an online marketplace like store to add various OOTB components is a big miss in my opinion.
