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 I dislike the most is the many maintenance costs. For example, you can expect to spend around 200 usd per month for a good hosting, plus 2 o 3 daily hours of trouble shouting technical maintenance (for example, pages that give error, need to install an extension, optimize speed, etc). And this just for an small store. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
