Strengths

• Ucommerce is a feature-rich e-commerce platform. The intuitive administration interfaces contain a powerful marketing foundation offering everything you need to stimulate customers to buy. Ucommerce also offers full integration with your ERP-system via the uConnector.
• As top eCommerce platforms move towards creating compelling online shopping experiences, Ucommerce has managed to do a nice job leveraging their relationship with Sitecore and Umbraco (Kentico option due to launch November 2017) to achieve a good overall customer experience.

Weaknesses

• The user interface is fine, but with modern day apps and a high focus on personal customization, Ucommerce has fallen a bit behind. They are addressing this and are making a complete user customizable backend interface to improve the EX (Employee Experience).
• Ucommerce is a bit weak with out-of-box capabilities when compared to their closest competitors, but again, they are currently working on making more "OOB" features for Ucommerce for future releases.
• As much as it’s a strength if you are a Kentico, Sitecore or Umbraco customer… if you are not, you will need to strike Ucommerce off your list.   

Key Differentiator 

Customers looking to build shopping experiences based on Content & Commerce, Ucommerce is a solid option with Kentico, Sitecore or Umbraco as your CMS.
