What do you like best about Magento Open Source?

Magento is a very robust system with almost everything you need right out of the box. In newer versions of magento it does add a random string to the end of the admin url which makes brute force attacks to get into the admin panel more difficult if not impossible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Magento Open Source?

While it is robust, it is almost too robust. The system runs extremely slowly, even on our high-performance webserver. Another big issue was with the database. Product information is stored across 50-100 tables which makes querying for a product very slow. The only way around this is to merge your products into a "flat" table that does not bring all the information under one table. Instead of 50-100 tables, you're looking at 25-50 tables. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Magento Open Source:

Use a different system such as Woocommerce or Shopify Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

To be completely honest we did not solve any problems while using Magento. It created more problems for us. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Magento Open Source?

1. Quick and easy setup: The setup and installation are so easy as compared to some other eCommerce platforms.

3. 3rd party integrations: This gives more customization options to Magento. It allows every store to be highly customizable.

4. Faster page loading time: Magento’s platform makes the page load times down, even when there is a massive influx of load.

On one side there are a lot of features, but it comes with some limitations as well. Some of the limitations are -

1. Limitations for store owners to make changes as the full access is with the developers by Magento.

2. One more problem is its high pricing for the enterprise edition.

3. Although it provides lesser page load time by default, but, in case it is on shared hosting, it is possible that it results in slow speed and causes a frustrating customer experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

1. Minimal response time shopping experience
