Overall Satisfaction with Spryker Cloud Commerce OS

Use Cases and Deployment Scope

At TOWA we are using the Spryker Cloud Commerce OS for more complex and bigger scale e-commerce enterprise projects. Currently, it's our standard framework for that kind of software project to help our clients to go into the digital market. The projects normally involve the integration of 3rd party services like PIM, ERP or other systems. We do have 2 dedicated teams to work with Spryker Cloud Commerce OS at the moment and we are growing.

Alternatives Considered

We worked with other Shop-Solution frameworks like shopify, shopware or woo-commerce, and similar.
The way how Spryker Cloud Commerce OS was built - namely from the technical pov first - is probably the biggest argument why we are working with it for our enterprise level software projects. In that area we didn't find another suitable solution for us.

Support Rating

The support per se is good. We are getting answers on a timely manner and most of the time helpful comments or clues.
Most challenging part is the Spryker PAAS because it's one of the newest products in the spryker environment. But also there, we are working together to solve the issues and we are getting the help we needed. Sometimes it takes a bit, but we are managing by working as partners.

Usability

In general we are happy to work and still learning a lot. We know its kinda a young framewok to work with, but nevertheless we are achieving our goals and providng value for our clients. We just have to make sure to clarify requirements well in the first place to see if we scratch any limitations of the framework.

Likelihood to Recommend

For enterprise level software projects Spryker Cloud Commerce OS seems to be a good fit. It's recommended to check the requirements and limits of Spryker dough. Until now we do have good experience in solving our client problems and developing them with Spryker.

Currently it seems that a highly-data oriented e-commerce project scratches the limits of Spryker Cloud Commerce OS. In those scenarios we would recommend checking the exact requirements.
