Sitecore OrderCloud vs. SAP Commerce Cloud

As a global organization we needed ability to have different and dynamic pricing based on Geo-Location. OrderCloud Architecture with Locales and User Groups allowed us to use a Single Buyer and easily manage all our use-cases. In the few scenarios where we had feature requests or improvements, the team was very highly responsive and many new features or changes were added to the Products based on these discussions.

For a straight forward B2B shop with a simple frontend the whole SAP Commerce Suite is pretty robust yet fairly expensive. It is still not a true and full blown headless solution so if your enterprise is on a MACH strategy then this product would not be the foundation for it. If a company wants to build rich CX frontend experiences, then Spartacus is probably not the best and a custom frontend would be recommended, in that case you compromise on the advantages of a full blown solution from one vendor

• Some procedures in the CMS are usually very slow, specifically in the CMS Cockpit; I cannot use most of the templates or manage certain content. For this reason, I try to find other alternatives, but they are not as efficient as CMS Cockpit should be.
• There are some functions that are a bit outdated, more like the user interface; it is worth mentioning that this is a very important tool because it is the first contact that customers have with the software and the company as such.

Besides SmartEdit and Product Catalog, the rest of the application is very good. Including the customer support in case of a need. There are 3rd party offerings for a better content management or Product Management but these not only require additional expensive licensing, they also bring additional development efforts and dependencies to external companies

In this way, we can access solution of some specific problems that we have fallen on from there.

Its easy to update my catalog and inventory. I have added more SKUs and expanded to international shipping. My items resonate to worldwide markets and I now have the opportunity to sell to them. SAP Commerce Cloud should allow me to scale the company and really touch worldwide. I may also add other products to the portfolio.
