What do you like best about Magento Open Source?

Magento is robust enough to handle almost any, "what-if" you can think of without becoming hacky like other after-thought e-commerce competitors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Magento Open Source?

Magento is very heavy. You have to invest in a better hosting provider if you want to run a Magento shop. This makes Magento a good choice for medium and larger businesses but a non-contender for start-ups. Under the hood, Magento isn't the most developer-friendly with its odd choice of XML over JSON for some file configuration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Magento Open Source solving and how is that benefiting you?

I worked with a team of developers who utilized Magento to run a shop with thousands of products. It managed these products with ease. Magento excels when you throw large data sets at it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Magento Open Source?

I'm a new user of Magento open source and the best part about Magento is that it allows user to create the entire website without much effort. With Magento, I can create the entire store just in less than an hour. It also has a wide range of elements that can be used to set up the store.

It's not very much easy for a non-tech person to build a website using Magento. For a user to build a website he/she must have some sort of technical knowledge related to PHP and Apache. This knowledge is required to do the setup of Magento. Also the websites build in Magento are not very good when in comes to SEO. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It provides a lot of features that are helpful for store creation. And it's very easy for me to setup a complete store with all the integrations.
