What do you like best about Magento Open Source?

Magento can be adapted to your specific needs due the limitless extensions and integrations available in the Magneto Marketplace. There is a solution for just about everything. Other eCommerce sites are easier to implement and upgrade, however for a business with multiple stores and languages Magento can accommodate most requirements. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Magento Open Source?

It is a lot more complex to develop than other eCommerce sites, however this is an expected trade-off for the standard features and security. Also, the cost of using multiple extensions can add up quickly. Most extensions are not support in major upgrades and have to be repurchased. Page load speed can be an issue if you have not configured your site and server correctly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Magento Open Source:

Ensure you have basic development skills if you are installing this yourself, otherwise use a competent developer. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Magento ticks every box for our eCommerce requirements from order to payments to shipping and stock control. We also use the API to sync with other accounting and CRM platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Magento Open Source?

Most of its features and options need a lot of improvements, page building options, options for customizing themes, functions for managing workflows and many more. Sometimes it does not allow editing content or description of products. It should increase the compatibility with various adobe products that are used for marketing therefore productivity and efficiency can be improved through it.

What do you like best about Magento Open Source?

I love how you can accomplish just about everything you would want for the customer and shopping experience on your site. You will need a Dev, or a few of them to accomplish many things and to continue to manage the sites or sites into the future. Having a multi-store feature is huge to help make Magento more manageable in certain respects though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Magento Open Source?

The ability to do everything is also the biggest con, mostly because it takes a lot of time to plan, develop, stage and test things before releasing them. When using other e-commerce platforms this is not as much of an issue. Such as Shopify or Big Commerce, most edits to products, pages or the site is fast. Even the system itself is more lightweight and easier to edit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Magento Open Source:

Make sure your team can handle the management of it and are capable to edit designs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Having to hire someone to manage this platform along can be costly to many small businesses. It has tremendous benefits for complicated products with many variants but comes at an even more complicated way of managing those options. Furthermore, filters and multiple experiences from different paths cant be cumbersome in addition to very inflexible plugins. There is no support since its open-source so everything is up to you to identify and manage most effectively for your needs. It can be exhausting for some who have to focus on other platforms and departments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
