Structured APIs and flexible customization have simplified building full-stack commerce sites
Regarding how commercetools can be improved, I did not find anything that could be better in terms of features for my use case. However, the resources and documentation of commercetools could be clearer so developers can understand the APIs and build websites accordingly. Whatever is needed for my use case, commercetools provides. If the project scales and certain companies require additional changes, you might need customization in Merchant Centers. Otherwise, all the features that are there provide what I needed. Additionally, commercetools could improve how they handle the customer database and orders by consolidating their two separate collections for carts and orders. Once a cart is ordered, it is converted into an order state, and this process could be improved. Furthermore, they could improve the customer collections. When I was using commercetools, there was no AI analytics, but they could add AI features such as product recommendations for specific customers based on their viewership, cart suggestions, and bundle products. These are improvements they could make.

Headless architecture has powered high‑traffic APIs and accelerated complex commerce projects
For Spryker Systems, there is one major issue I see. There are no peer groups or developer channels where we can post our problems. If we go with Magento and other frameworks, there are many developers available there. You can search on Google, and there are multiple solutions available. You can see the solution, apply it, and then determine if you are able to solve your problem. This type of community resource is missing in Spryker Systems, so they need to do a lot of work on their side. Some user-friendly features are missing in Spryker Systems. Right now, in the present release, they did some things, but they need to do much more from a normal user's point of view. Currently, Spryker Systems is only focused on developer points of view, such as how a developer can extend the functionality or inject functionality into the system. However, if we talk about default features, there are no features. For example, there is nothing for reporting, and if we go with the configuration, only basic configuration is available. No high-level or low-level configuration exists. For example, if we want to showcase something on the cart checkout page, you cannot simply go into the configuration and enable or disable things. These types of features are missing. If Spryker Systems works on these parts, then it is a very cool platform from a user's standpoint.

Pros

"commercetools is very flexible because it is headless, so with the API, you can connect commercetools easily with other platforms such as AWS, for example, with extension and subscription."
"commercetools has positively impacted my organization by improving efficiency, facilitating the integration of new services, and especially development with its microservices architecture, which greatly encourages having new releases and being able to deploy much more frequently and atomically without as many regression errors, because everything is more isolated, which helps significantly."
"commercetools has positively impacted my organization, as we have been using commercetools for more than five years, implementing two productions end to end, getting inquiries for commercetools, and seeing agility, speed, and customer satisfaction because we could deliver things in less time."
"For the organization, I would say that the speed of the go-to-market was quite incredible, as we went live in about a month and a half with a full checkout experience with a payment integration, which is quite amazing."
"Commercetools has positively impacted my organization by providing a great opportunity to increase time to market."
"Commercetools has impacted my organization positively by allowing us to give a better solution compared to other options."
"At this point, the product works flawlessly."
"Everything apart from the previous mention is good; I am impressed with the flexibility and performance of commercetools."
"Spryker Systems has had a positive impact on my company because we were able to generate a significant revenue increase in our e-commerce area."
"The platform's composability is valuable as it provides a variety of extensions to interface with other solutions."
"So far, as I could see, Spryker Systems is stable in my experience."
"If someone has a big product, then they can use Spryker Systems there, and if they do not want to lose customers' sessions or lose their customers, then Spryker Systems is a viable option."
"Spryker Systems is very useful as we can use it as a user interface and as an entire ERP or CRM system."
"Over the last six months, I have found that Spryker Systems' composable commerce and integration capabilities have helped me because Spryker also has the capability with Docker."
"From an extensive point of view or for a large project point of view, Spryker Systems is the best platform right now."
 

Cons

"The issues I encountered with configuring the shipping methods in commercetools relate to the out-of-the-box configuration, where there is a limitation on the number of delivery modes."
"Sometimes you have to use an API to get to a feature, whereas a UI could make it more user-friendly."
"Support is also good overall, although they may be a bit slow with our queries at times."
"My experience with the documentation and learning resources for commercetools is that it was not very clear."
"I experienced a challenging moment when commercetools had scheduled downtime, impacting user login and operations simultaneously, which caused significant difficulties for our B2B aspects."
"Commercetools can be improved in areas such as order management and the checkout process."
"My advice to others looking into using commercetools is that in 2026, I would go with a simpler solution."
"The main issue is the price."
"Spryker, even with its native features, often requires some development and configuration into the code, which is not straightforward in the beginning."
"Spryker Systems could be improved if we can reduce the complexity level."
"Spryker Systems is a good company with good customer support. However, there are also problems and setbacks from time to time."
"In Spryker Systems, the main issue is that connectivity is too difficult. If I want to make a small change, I have to pass code through three layers: Zed, Yves, and middleware."
"When we build a Spryker Systems application in our local environment, it is really painful as it takes a long time, and the build requires a high-configuration system to become executable in our local environment."
"In my opinion, there are no best features on Spryker Systems. It is a very complex system that uses hexagonal architecture and is very complicated."
"For Spryker Systems, there is one major issue I see. There are no peer groups or developer channels where we can post our problems."
