IBM, Insite Software, Intershop, hybris and Oracle Commerce play head-to-head. These five vendors go head to head in the majority of B2B commerce RFPs today. All five have proven, mature B2B commerce capabilities, a large installed base of B2B customers, and a focused product strategy for supporting B2B channels. Although each has its own merits, the total cost of ownership, time-to-market, geographical presence, existing vendor relationships and the strength of their respective implementation partner networks are increasingly influencing decision outcomes. All five of these vendors pack a heavy punch of leading B2B capabilities that in many cases represent a significant leap of maturity compared to the current operational B2B capabilities of prospective clients.

"CloudCraze, Magento (eBay Enterprise) and NetSuite offer competitive options. Each of these vendors has a strong offering in B2B, but all come with noteworthy caveats. CloudCraze is a native SalesForce application, and as such appeals to B2B firms standardizing their cloud infrastructure and applications on Salesforce.com. Magento offers a low-cost, highly customizable solution for firms that want to develop a B2B engagement platform without being beholden to complex solutions from the 'big 3' software firms. NetSuite appeals to mid-market B2B firms who are attracted by the ability to run B2B commerce, ERP and CRM on a single multi-tenant SaaS based architecture."
