Easy to create your theme, and all the things you needed in an e-commerce site were already available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It requires substantial software requirements before you can run it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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.
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.

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. Also, the community support of Magento is very good as there are a lot of members who are veryhelpful in case of any problem that is faced by user. Because of the responsive community the issues can be resolved very quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
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.
