Magento has a robust community of apps, plugins, etc. -- that is Magento's strength. There's something for EVERY need in the Marketplace. It's been around for a while, so there's plenty of technical resources out there that are well-versed in it. As one of the most widely used platforms, it's easy to find strategists with experience in it, as well. If you've got access to good technical resources, it's got a LOT of possibilities.

It seems like every site I've ever been on with Magento is outdated, and not everyone loves the updates. I've known of people who intentionally stuck to Magento 1 because they didn't love the features in 2. The catch to all the great plug-ins and apps is that you NEED to use them. I don't find a lot of warm fuzzies in the out-of-the-box capabilities. You really do need to have access to good dev resources, and multiple types of strategists, to get the most out of it. For that reason, I don't recommend it for small companies that have no in-house team and don't plan to bring in outside help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
