"Episerver Commerce after 1.5 years"

3.5/5

What do you like best about Optimizely Commerce Connect?

Good support for programming C# ASP.NET and free choice of frontend frameworks that can be used. Strong and large community. Good support both from Episerver and other developers on forum. Good integration with Episerver CMS, and increasing support of new UI for Commerce Catalog. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Optimizely Commerce Connect?

Pricing. IMHO Commerce UI is a "dinosaur with a kick". Old ASP.NET forms application hardly fit in year 2017. Some of the old api's can sometimes be confusing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Optimizely Commerce Connect:

Read "Pro Episerver Commerce" book. Avoid using old api's and approaches as much as possible. Use new UI for catalog management in Episerver CMS as much as possible. Read blog posts and formus on world.episerver.com frequently. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Optimizely Commerce Connect solving and how is that benefiting you?

It is a great and stable platform for implementing wide spectrum of e-commerce applications. Long time on the market. Incremental improvements. I wouldn't trade it for any other similar platform at time being. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Episerver, a complete offering for digital transformation"

5/5

What do you like best about Optimizely Commerce Connect?

Episerver is a complete offering, and their solution enables all aspects of digital transformation for a client. I appreciate the versatility in the product suite, which makes it appropriate for most business segments. The platform provides solutions for marketing automation, campaign management, digital commerce and content management just to mention a few. The fact that you can choose whether you want to run solutions in the cloud or on-premise makes the offering even more compelling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Optimizely Commerce Connect?

Episerver is a huge platform, and it is growing at a very fast pace, as a client or a vendor it is a challenge to keep up with new functionality or acquisitions to the product portfolio. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Optimizely Commerce Connect:

Make sure you work through an experienced Agency, have a look at the partner section at www.episerver.com and ask Episerver for how long they have been implementing Episerver and how many certified developers they have. Do not look at your Episerver implementation as a pure technology project, make sure that your vendor can provide strategy, UX/design and development. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Optimizely Commerce Connect solving and how is that benefiting you?

The platform is the perfect match for any company wanting to be successful online. Focus is mainly on those who have a strategic view on digital and want to follow up and increase sales, lead generation, brand awareness. I think companies with a global footprint is an especially good match as the platform works very well in multiple markets. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
