It also filters out the companies that are right for us and need to target. The visualization is very good. It's not confusing. If you are doing an analysis on your Commerce, It's very easy. The filters are very useful and easy to customize. It's very easy to operate. The user-friendly interface is better when compared with other CRMs. For everything that we have used this solution for, we have had the best experience.”

    PeerSpot user Syed B., Salesforce Solution Architect at Systems Limited, says, "It has a customizable checkout experience, customizable homepage, everything can be customized. The stability is very, very high. SFCC is a leader in the world."

    Divs C., Salesforce Solutions Architect at Kcloud Technologies, mentions, “Salesforce offers the best features and functionality which are developed and refined over many years to provide a highly customized e-commerce experience. It is mostly for clients who are more into e-commerce, so they go for the Salesforce Commerce Cloud because, the best part is, you don't have to develop everything from scratch. Salesforce Commerce Cloud has seamless upgrades. Since the platform is SaaS, Salesforce continuously rolls out many new features in the background. These are available through an administration panel and often with minimal or no technical intervention needed on the client-side.”

    Joaquin A., Salesforce Programmer at Freelancer, explains, “Multi Language support means that this product will operate in English, Chinese, or whatever language is required. The translation feature is available, depending on the region, and it is quite useful for me as well as my customers. The development capabilities are very powerful, which is what my customers know and why they buy this product instead of something else. There is a good community of developers for the platform. With respect to customizability, you can do whatever you want. You can integrate with other solutions and put everything in one place.”
