What do you like best about Magento Open Source?

The thing about Magento is that it is easy to use and especially when you want to create an online store. Plug in's are easy to access and not all of them are paid, which means if you have minimum budget you are able to build something is both safe and easily accessible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Magento Open Source?

The problem is that when you use Opensource there is always the risk of vulnerability. Attacks are most common on Magento because it is seen as holding the financial transaction hence it becomes prone to hackers. However, should you be in a position to secure your site you are sure to enjoy it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Magento Open Source:

Magento is very flexible and easy to use. If you don't want a complicated CMS i suggest you go with it. Also bear in mind that there is forum support so you don't have to pay for assistance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

One does not have to have paid themes or CMS all the time The problem with using paid CMS systems is that the support is always paid for. Yet with Magento there are lots of forums and support from people using it and those facing similar problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Magento Open Source?

Coming to Magento from e-commerce solutions like WooCommerce on Wordpress I was at first taken aback at what seemed like limited admin options, an outdated admin UI, and the need to edit php code to do many things I might have expected to use a GUI for.

But as time has progressed I have come to realise how much power and flexibility is built into the platform, that all the most necessary capabilities are indeed baked into it, and that the theming model is actually very powerful once you understand how it works. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Magento Open Source?

It's unlikely you will be able to do everything you want using the GUI tools in Magento and sooner or later you will find the only way to do something is to edit php code - or pay someone to do that.

Bulk import of products to get started is very fickle in Magento 1 (but seems much better in our Magento 2 test site). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Magento Open Source:

Check you have the technical skills or resources to use effectively. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I look after 3 different e-commerce storefronts within a single Magento instance - one of its very powerful capabilities. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Magento Open Source?

Magento Open Source is truly customisable and through the local code pool, it facilities changes very well. The strong sense of community, will mean you are not alone and have a big open network of experienced people at hand to help.

The User Interface is equally easy to use. Comes with a variety of templates from blank to responsive. So, don't have to even start from scratch. .

Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Magento Open Source?

Although M2 ("Magento 2") has negated this, the M1 ("Magento 1") has incorporated lots of things in an old-fashioned way.

The M1 architecture is not too flexible and easily upgradable. For instance, moving from Magento 2.0 to Magento 2.x versions are much easier than moving from 1.0 to 1.x versions.

In short, Magento 2 will be much better option in terms of upgrading for future use as compared to Magento 1.x.

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

Magento is the complete platform solution for us. With a few custom modules magento includes all the functionality for day to day operands. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
