We've funneled an insane amount of money into making this site suitable for our business needs (6x more than what was quoted to us initially)

2

Manual Work and Time Costs

high implementation

The platform is described as very manual with no shortcuts for editing. This translates to significant ongoing labor costs for routine tasks that are automated in competing platforms.

trustradius

VERY manual—no shortcuts ever for editing things.

trustradius

NOT user-friendly. Reporting tools virtually non-existent.

3

Premium Support Wait Times

high support

Even with Priority Tech Support, users report wait times of up to one hour to speak with support staff. This can result in significant productivity losses when technical issues arise.

Will wait on "Priority" Tech Support call line for an hour to talk to anyone. Completely UNHELPFUL/NOT KNOWLEDGEABLE tech support.

4

Custom Development Costs

medium integration

Customization is possible but significantly more expensive than more open platforms like Shopify or Magento. The limited developer community also drives up costs for custom work.

trustradius

you can do just about whatever you want with it, but you have to pay a lot more than you might with more open platforms.

trustradius

Their developer community is really limited. Platforms like Shopify and Magento have extensive developer communities

Double Data Entry for Multi-Channel Sales

medium integration

Trade show and offline sales require manual re-entry into Volusion after initial payment processing. Amazon integration is awkward and doesn't automatically populate from Volusion data.

Then later we had to enter each order into Volusion manually in order to synchronize our sales, tax and inventory. We should not have to do it twice.

I would love to see a better interface with Amazon. It's awkward to use the Amazon template.

Example: True Cost for 25 Users

Actual Implementation Costs vs. Initial Quote +500-600% of initial quote

Custom Development Costs +30-50% premium vs. alternatives
Double Data Entry for Multi-Channel Sales +$25-$75/user/month in duplicate work
Estimated Year 1 Total ~$0
That's roughly 0.0× the advertised license price. The median Volusion contract is $948/yr across Vendr purchases.
