As a techno functional person, one thing I can say is that their usage of APIs make the platform so innovative and solely based on some of the APIs it has evolved much faster than its competitors. It has suited most of its users who are buyers of client products and services just because of personalized experiences across all channels, thus amazing the buyers and bagging their mind shares. The Oracle CX Commerce platform has boosted subscription footfall and is a blessing with its flexibility and all roundedness.
Allows functionality to experience management platforms like Adobe Marketing Cloud.Gives us a single view of your customers, and one place to manage your entire digital presence.
Promotion and personalization engine is simple and clean.
Cache framework is extensive with a 3 level approach at client side(CMS), core and cortex. - OpenJPA + EhCache.
Training documentation is good.
Cortex API architecture is well tiered and strong.
External feeds for catalog data load are available.
Logging frameworks available with Log4j
API can be exposed from the commerce engine as both SOAP and REST Based.
It uses an effective algorithm to provide users with product recommendations based on other products they’ve previously viewed.
It comes with a decent support platform, where Oracle is attentive and provides help diagnosing issues that may arise within the environment.
Oracle CX Commerce comes with a developer tool known as the DCU Tool, which is very helpful when it comes to pushing changes from environment to environment. The DCU Tool is also a good resource to use for source control.
Integration with other Oracle web products, particularly Responsys. The more we can leverage our red apps together the better.
Development of new services, such as Experiments and AI Apps, requires extensive trouble shooting by the customer. We can spend months working with Oracle to get these services to work correctly. On the plus side, Oracle is clearly committed to solving the issues we find and works aggressively to resolve problems.
Upgrades to the application always seem to require a patch or two. This frequently extends the upgrade schedule, effecting our implementation plans and our own site enhancement schedule.
Oracle Commerce Cloud is definitely not my favorite platform to use, however our company has gotten very comfortable with the way our website operates using it so I do not see us switching to a different product any time soon. Over time, I’ve grown to have a love/hate relationship with this product, but as I learn more about what it offers I come to appreciate its functionality more
As a system integrator here are my thoughts -- Elastic path is one of best ecommerce tools, which would fit any retailer/ telcos business needs. The software architecture is well thought through and it is built with open source tools, the Ecommerce application is easily extensible and it enables clients to get there E-commerce application in less time. We have evaluated other products like ATG ecommerce, WCS, Magento. Elastic path is definitely a briliant ecommerce product which I would recommend to any clients.
Prior to taking on Oracle CX Commerce, we went ahead and evaluated Shopify. Shopify has an extremely similar concept overall. However, My organization ultimately went with Oracle [CX Commerce] because of how user friendly the solution is ,and how detailed its offerings are. Oracle has so many extra features compared to Shopify that allows us to create a much more personalized experience for our clients.
