While it offers robust support and numerous features, the abundance of choices might overwhelm users looking for a simpler solution. Integrating additional tools may require technical skills. As a platform, it's excellent for growing businesses, but for those desiring an uncomplicated setup, it might not be the easiest option to start with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Magento can be tough to learn at first and needs tech skills for making changes. It can use a lot of resources, which might mean more money for hosting. Getting it to run smoothly might take extra work too. The fancy enterprise version can be pricey, and some add-ons might not be great quality. You'll also need to keep up with updates and maintenance regularly. While Magento has lots of features, its complexity might not be easy for someone new to e-commerce.
