What do you like best about Magento Open Source?

Magento has a robust community of apps, plugins, etc. -- that is Magento's strength. There's something for EVERY need in the Marketplace. It's been around for a while, so there's plenty of technical resources out there that are well-versed in it. As one of the most widely used platforms, it's easy to find strategists with experience in it, as well. If you've got access to good technical resources, it's got a LOT of possibilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Magento Open Source?

It seems like every site I've ever been on with Magento is outdated, and not everyone loves the updates. I've known of people who intentionally stuck to Magento 1 because they didn't love the features in 2. The catch to all the great plug-ins and apps is that you NEED to use them. I don't find a lot of warm fuzzies in the out-of-the-box capabilities. You really do need to have access to good dev resources, and multiple types of strategists, to get the most out of it. For that reason, I don't recommend it for small companies that have no in-house team and don't plan to bring in outside help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We're able to build really quality enhancements that continue to drive improvements. Speed, conversion, sales, etc. have all continued to get better as we've continued to invest in new features, clean up technical debt, etc. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Magento Open Source?

The whole features and tools to manage e-commerce. The way we can create product categories and subcategories or product cross-category, the SKU ID numbers for the products, the complete infrastructure to manage really big online stores, the lateral bars to make surveys or inviting the users to subscribe for the newsletter, the data you are recollecting from the new customers or from the whole payments or transactions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Magento Open Source?

You need a super huge hosting service to avoid getting a slow website, you need the basics of frontend if you want to modify something of the User Interface or even move or align something else on the pages. It's so difficult iterate the user experience because there aren't an easy to use builders or front ends editor like drag and drop tools, the time to learn to configure the payment mode. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Magento Open Source:

If the online store has a lot of products, or if you need a huge customer database, send newsletters or constantly promos, coupon codes, and statistics to measure the data and implementing it through frequent iterations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Magento Open Source?

I like that out of the box, Magento comes with so many features that other eCommerce platforms don't have or require you to buy additional plugins/modules to get. Magento helped us provide a set of features to clients that would've taken us a long time to implement or integrate with other eCommerce platforms Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Magento Open Source?

The admin panel can be very confusing to understand as it has so many details and functionalities in them. I know that having a lot of functionalities is a good thing, but when the client is not very tech-savvy, they find it a struggle. Also, as a developer, developing in Magento can be very slow as it requires a lot of compile work even for the little changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Magento Open Source:

Only use Magento when you need a lot of features or when you have a good tech or programming languages knowledge. If you don't, it can be overwhelming and hard to learn. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

With Magento, we are providing our clients with so many features while saving time on implementing a lot of them. Magento is a complex framework but one that delivers great security and reliable functionalities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
