BigCommerce is less appropriate for a business that requires multi vendor marketplace management.
BigCommerce is however well suited for most all e-commerce businesses. The base platform is very robust and covers most needs however when the base functionality doesn't meet the client's needs the platform can be extended through the BigCommerceAPIi to meet almost any need to include custom ERP integrations if necessary.
Bigcommerce is our exclusive ecommerce platform. It is used across the entire organization to manage the website from the customer facing experience to order processing, fulfillment and shipping. It has allowed us to quickly get a store online without needing a lot of technical expertise or invest a lot of money into a custom solution.
Pros
Responsive customer service with multiple ways to contact them, phone, chat and email.
A lot of functionality out of the box
Very customizable to your specific business, especially if you have some web development skills
Cons
The amount of features it has can be overwhelming and make the product feel clunky, complicated and slow
They are playing catch up in terms of offering more modern theming
Creating your own themes is possible but it is not easy to do and is tedious, even if you have the technical chops
They recently deprecated FTP and am using WebDAV, which is much slower and isn't supported by many tools
Likelihood to Recommend
If you're just starting out, Bigcommerce probably is overkill, but if you have a lot of SKUs and have moderate resources Bigcommerce can do almost everything you need. If you want a lot of control and want to be able to easily do custom marketing campaigns, you might want to invest in something more customizable, but if you don't have the technical resources for it, Bigcommerce is good enough. I would recommend Bigcommerce to any company that is past their initial success and is looking to grow into a serious ecommerce company.
