Magento's biggest pro is it is open source, has a large help community and lots of examples available. It's open source architecture allows for a great deal of customization as needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The same open source nature of Magento also means there can be a lot of code conflicts from poor implementations of code, particularly as the number of third party modules used on a store increases, and lots of old examples from outdated documentation. However, with proper attention to detail Magento is a very powerful platform for an eCommerce site. I have not tested Magento 2 extensively to know if some of these issues are better in the new version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Magento is delivered as a fully functional webcart from the time you install it on your webhost. We were able to launch our first Magento store with very little engineering time, and the multitude of themes, extensions, and modules make it an extremely robust ecommerce solution. As an open source solution, you have full access to the codebase which is great for customizing the functionality of your site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Unfortunately, the extensible nature of the platform leaves you vulnerable to module/extension incompatibilities and version lock when an new Magento version is released. You definitely want to have a Magento developer handy or be comfortable working with PHP and mySQL yourself to have long-term success with this platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
