Open for integration & Customization as per business needs - Framework provides extension points helps in external integrations as per business needs. 4. Extensive payment handling providing flexibility to maintain multiple payment gateway integrations. 5. Cart and Checkout handling for customers with scale and performance. 6. Business tooling and Authoring Environment for preview. 7. Promotion engine capability to handle wide array of promotions for business to run different campaigns.
The licensing is inexpensive and the support staff - the ones that are still there - are supportive.
- Very open collaboration between our team and vendor team - Deep analysis on the shared topics to avoid further rework - High configurability of the platform for catalog structure - Possibility to use the same platform for b2c and b2b targets - proactive monitor of our needs and POC on possible solutions are shared by the vendor itself - we are influencing the product roadmap with our needs and integrations as added value to the platform itself - with new platform we remove RAD IDE and windows constraint for the developers, code is managed with whatever operating system and IDE a developer prefer
It's not about specific dislikes, it's about improvements which can be taken up in releases. Search is a major one and should be a key area of improvement. Search should reflect modern AI-based relevancy and ranking.
Features that should work out of the box - like Recurring Orders - do not work. We have to take the broken core functionality and build off of it. The documentation is also not good at all, with missing or outdated instructions that do not match. The feature roadmap for the product is also not a straight line and predictable. It's always one step forward, two steps back. We have learned the hard way to wait at least a year before we implement any suggestions from the vendor because they might not release a fully-baked product and might decide to stop supporting it very quickly (i.e. Elastic Search).

Cost effective but not feature-rich nor developer or business-user friendly.
HCL Commerce is a powerful and configurable but "out of the box" functionality has not been very good. Overall in the last few years we have been sold on new features as the way forward - most crucially HCL's implementation of Elastic Search - but this was extremely poorly managed and the experts within HCL were let go as the company pivoted away from that solution very quickly. Unfortunately for us we believed the hype and are still (for now) stuck using it. We were also sold on the Sapphire Storefront and we implemented it only to later be told it was not meant to be used for anything other than demonstration purposes. These missteps have really eroded our trust in the next 'new' thing coming from HCL Commerce and frankly in the long-term viability of the business as a whole. We dont want to be left holding the bag when HCL it's getting out of the commerce space. - Software Development Manager<50M USDRetailReview Source
