The whole features and tools to manage e-commerce. The way we can create product categories and subcategories or product cross-category, the SKU ID numbers for the products, the complete infrastructure to manage really big online stores, the lateral bars to make surveys or inviting the users to subscribe for the newsletter, the data you are recollecting from the new customers or from the whole payments or transactions.

You need a super huge hosting service to avoid getting a slow website, you need the basics of frontend if you want to modify something of the User Interface or even move or align something else on the pages. It's so difficult iterate the user experience because there aren't an easy to use builders or front ends editor like drag and drop tools, the time to learn to configure the payment mode.

I like that out of the box, Magento comes with so many features that other eCommerce platforms don't have or require you to buy additional plugins/modules to get. Magento helped us provide a set of features to clients that would've taken us a long time to implement or integrate with other eCommerce platforms Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The admin panel can be very confusing to understand as it has so many details and functionalities in them. I know that having a lot of functionalities is a good thing, but when the client is not very tech-savvy, they find it a struggle. Also, as a developer, developing in Magento can be very slow as it requires a lot of compile work even for the little changes. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
One of the best open source software out there. Helps us to understand the inner workings like a charm Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
A lot of room for development. SDEs can do a little better at the programming level of the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
Magento can be adapted to your specific needs due the limitless extensions and integrations available in the Magneto Marketplace. There is a solution for just about everything. Other eCommerce sites are easier to implement and upgrade, however for a business with multiple stores and languages Magento can accommodate most requirements.

It is a lot more complex to develop than other eCommerce sites, however this is an expected trade-off for the standard features and security. Also, the cost of using multiple extensions can add up quickly. Most extensions are not support in major upgrades and have to be repurchased. Page load speed can be an issue if you have not configured your site and server correctly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Most of its features and options need a lot of improvements, page building options, options for customizing themes, functions for managing workflows and many more. Sometimes it does not allow editing content or description of products. It should increase the compatibility with various adobe products that are used for marketing therefore productivity and efficiency can be improved through it.

It's quite strong and solid and the database coverage is extensive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
It can be a little bit slow in the process or cumbersome (for mass uploads for example --> it should be naturally easier to manipulate fields and attributes) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
I love how you can accomplish just about everything you would want for the customer and shopping experience on your site. You will need a Dev, or a few of them to accomplish many things and to continue to manage the sites or sites into the future. Having a multi-store feature is huge to help make Magento more manageable in certain respects though. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
The ability to do everything is also the biggest con, mostly because it takes a lot of time to plan, develop, stage and test things before releasing them. When using other e-commerce platforms this is not as much of an issue. Such as Shopify or Big Commerce, most edits to products, pages or the site is fast. Even the system itself is more lightweight and easier to edit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
