What differentiates BigCommerce from other similar products?

We have been using Big Commerce for 10 years, we have started our search for a replacement. Over the years we have had a lot of tickets to correct problems. Then when the next update was out it was broken again. We have had one issue running for years with exporting data, so watch it your backup files will contain tons of errors. Many of the apps they say are easy to implement almost never are. Often they cannot support the template they sold us. Any use of UPS's don't work. Having your items automatically move to Amazon or ebay is a lie. The shipping calculations are horrible. Our site was down 36 hours last year at Christmas.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

It takes order, although somewhat clunky. More problems than benefits, it is shameful for the price.

What do you dislike most about this product?

Basic features not working properly. Inability of support actually fixing the problems. the cost is way too high considering what you do not get.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Run, set up might be fairly straightforward, but, getting everything to work is a headache. Try using support, after a few months you will realize just how bad it can get. The more years you have the software the more problems you will have and the more time you will need with support.

Pros

Respectful

Cons

Inhibits Innovation
Slower Product Innovation
Less Reliable
