Magento works very well with enterprise ecommerce. You can create your shop the way you want as long as you have a good dev backup. There are many ready plugins dedicated to Magento. It is easy to integrate Magento with any 3rd party software. A big community of developers who exchange their knowledge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Updates are extreme. Magento is costly (even if you use the free version) - you have to use the help of developers if you want to progress with your platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Magento open source is easy to set up out of the box. Since it's based on PHP, a little training would help you build and create virtually anything. The security that comes packed into it is the icing on the cake. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The learning curve can be a little steep. The basic OOTB may not suffice for all requirements. You would mostly venture out looking for premium solutions to get the job done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
There are plenty of things that I love about Magento Open Source; it is very customizable. Plus the community support makes it very convenient platform.

I like the freedom to write your own code. This allows you to create the website the way you would like and being able to adjust the layout when necessary. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Coming from a WordPress background, this program can be a bit confusing to start. After you have been using this platform for a while, it starts to become easier and efficient to complete your work. Creating Coupon codes can be difficult because some of the functions i would like to use are not available (BOGO deals). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

You can add tons of products and it will still run seamlessly. Magento is also very SEO centric. Its page builder WYSIWYG has some neat features. Magento also has some advanced reporting options available and these keep updating constantly to show the latest metrics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Technical support could be better. You will need a dedicated hosting server for swift operation. Shared hosting does not work quite as well. Magento is a little too complex compared to its alternative. There are a lot of premium features available but are not all free to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Firstly the standard version is opensource. It supports multiple stores, multiple currencies and vendors. It can be easily integrated with 3rd party applications as well as with Google services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Till now I have not noticed anything in this opensource eCommerce platform which can be disliked. Rather than, all of the features included in this platform are very intuitive and learned in an easy way without going deep into technical aspects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Not all magento extensions are available (every big update of magento result in a mass update of the third-party magento extensions)
Hight cost of enterprise version (while community is free and open-source, which makes is a perfect choise for small businesses)
Hosting (the hosting is not include to the magento platform, meaning will have to pay for ut separately) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
