Magento Open Source Reviews & Product Details - Page 3

Was using Magento in 2006 1.xx days and it really, really great. Very robust and dependable... couldn't ask for more, But when eBay bought it and went to the 2.xx foundation it was a complete disaster, nothing was compatible and for me to make the move to 2.xx would have been insanely costly. I ended up switching to WooCommerce and I've been happy, but miss the versatility of Magento. I've used 2.xx in other appications with Adobe at the helm, and it's good, but won't make the leap until i'm forced to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
