What do you like best about Magento Open Source?

I like the new menu bar on the left as it is easier to navigate. We also like the additional customer info we can view from the Order screen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Magento Open Source?

We are very disappointed in outside extensions not being compatible. we have struggled to get several companies products to work. We also have been very frustrated that we are unable to key orders on the backend ourselves. We have to enter them on the website rather than in Magento due to some glitch. Hoping this is fixed with 2.4 updates. We also discovered another error between Magento and Authorize.net. Authorize.net is declining the transaction but somehow Magento is still creating an order! yes, we have realized we have shipped thousands of dollars of orders to customers who never paid. the customer does not receive a declined or error message, instead they receive an order confirmation from Magento. Still trying to fix this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Magento Open Source?

The thing about Magento is that it is easy to use and especially when you want to create an online store. Plug in's are easy to access and not all of them are paid, which means if you have minimum budget you are able to build something is both safe and easily accessible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Magento Open Source?

The problem is that when you use Opensource there is always the risk of vulnerability. Attacks are most common on Magento because it is seen as holding the financial transaction hence it becomes prone to hackers. However, should you be in a position to secure your site you are sure to enjoy it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Magento Open Source:

Magento is very flexible and easy to use. If you don't want a complicated CMS i suggest you go with it. Also bear in mind that there is forum support so you don't have to pay for assistance. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

One does not have to have paid themes or CMS all the time The problem with using paid CMS systems is that the support is always paid for. Yet with Magento there are lots of forums and support from people using it and those facing similar problems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
