Magento Open Source Reviews & Product Details - Page 12

I like Magento because it is based on PHP, and it has its JavaScript architecture, which includes knockout JS, requireJS, jQuery, and a lot more. I like the way we can create modules to extend or give new functionality to Magento. I also like the Magento training section where Magento has provided courses in frontend development, backend development and for merchandizers as well as solution specialists. I like the Magento's one page checkout which is a single page application built on knockout javascript library and it is also not very difficult to work on it's customization. Magento has a very big community of users so it is also very good in terms of pull request review and ask for any coding help and support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are only a few small things that I don't like, but that's not a big deal, so I wouldn't mention it here because those are something you can easily ignore without any issue. I also don't like some of the courses which Magento provide because of their complexity and difficulty to understand what it is trying to explain. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Lots of customizations options. With the help of a developer for most things. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Difficult to use. Lots of bugs and errors. We are constantly working with a developer to fix minor issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I would suggest using Magento when we are planning to develop e-commerce apps. Magento open source is free to use and also supports various options for libraries which makes development easy. The competitors for Magento are open-cart and woo commerce, but I would rather suggest Magento when you are intended to develop small size apps. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I faced a very bad experience with Magento. In the past, I have developed one application in Magento, there was a cache issue and due to that I was not able to see my updated code over there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Pagebuilder was built-in and intuitive. It also had functionality to create custom blocks and templates to minimize repeatedly entering code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Setup was not as straight-forward and required setup of external libraries like elasticsearch, containerization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Our e-commerce system being hosted by Magento, allows us to customize our internal search engine for functions we need. We can easily add or remove things we do not consider useful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Exporting CSV reports could be a little more organized, but it reports what we need. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Easy to create your theme, and all the things you needed in an e-commerce site were already available. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It requires substantial software requirements before you can run it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Magento is robust enough to handle almost any, "what-if" you can think of without becoming hacky like other after-thought e-commerce competitors. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Magento is very heavy. You have to invest in a better hosting provider if you want to run a Magento shop. This makes Magento a good choice for medium and larger businesses but a non-contender for start-ups. Under the hood, Magento isn't the most developer-friendly with its odd choice of XML over JSON for some file configuration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I'm a new user of Magento open source and the best part about Magento is that it allows user to create the entire website without much effort. With Magento, I can create the entire store just in less than an hour. It also has a wide range of elements that can be used to set up the store. Also, the community support of Magento is very good as there are a lot of members who are veryhelpful in case of any problem that is faced by user. Because of the responsive community the issues can be resolved very quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's not very much easy for a non-tech person to build a website using Magento. For a user to build a website he/she must have some sort of technical knowledge related to PHP and Apache. This knowledge is required to do the setup of Magento. Also the websites build in Magento are not very good when in comes to SEO. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
