What do you like best about Magento Open Source?

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.

What do you dislike about Magento Open Source?

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.

Recommendations to others considering Magento Open Source:

If you are a technically advanced person with good knowledge of WordPress, hosting, and website setup in general, then go for Magento. It also has paid features you can use. It is more secure than WooCommerce in my opinion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
