"Powerful e-commerce platform - if you are willing to get your hands dirty"
What do you like best about Magento Open Source?

Coming to Magento from e-commerce solutions like WooCommerce on Wordpress I was at first taken aback at what seemed like limited admin options, an outdated admin UI, and the need to edit php code to do many things I might have expected to use a GUI for.

But as time has progressed I have come to realise how much power and flexibility is built into the platform, that all the most necessary capabilities are indeed baked into it, and that the theming model is actually very powerful once you understand how it works. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Magento Open Source?

It's unlikely you will be able to do everything you want using the GUI tools in Magento and sooner or later you will find the only way to do something is to edit php code - or pay someone to do that.

Bulk import of products to get started is very fickle in Magento 1 (but seems much better in our Magento 2 test site). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"#1 Absolute Ecommerce Platform"
What do you like best about Magento Open Source?

Magento Open Source is truly customisable and through the local code pool, it facilities changes very well. The strong sense of community, will mean you are not alone and have a big open network of experienced people at hand to help.

The User Interface is equally easy to use. Comes with a variety of templates from blank to responsive. So, don't have to even start from scratch. .

What do you dislike about Magento Open Source?

Although M2 ("Magento 2") has negated this, the M1 ("Magento 1") has incorporated lots of things in an old-fashioned way.

The M1 architecture is not too flexible and easily upgradable. For instance, moving from Magento 2.0 to Magento 2.x versions are much easier than moving from 1.0 to 1.x versions.

In short, Magento 2 will be much better option in terms of upgrading for future use as compared to Magento 1.x.

"Magento has one of the most extensive feature lists you will ever find in terms of ecommerce softwar"
What do you like best about Magento Open Source?

Feature-rich – the Community (free) version consists of features which are not easily available in other solutions such as the ability to manage multiple stores, Multi-language and multi-currency support and is mobile and search engine friendly.

User-friendly – the administrator panel has one of the most user-friendly interfaces I’ve ever seen with simple and intuitive navigation and well-organized store management.

Cost – community version is available for free.

Community-wide and active community of users who have developed many extensions and plugins and can provide support.

Flexibility – Magento’s architecture allows you to pretty much customize everything so you have full control over your online store. It’s open-source so you get full control over the code and can develop any functionality you need.

Scalable – as previously mentioned, Magento is built to scale so whether you’re a small size business or a large one, Magento can easily handle it.

High Performance: When it comes to page load speed, query processing time and other such performance parameters, Magento emerges as a winner again Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Cost Effective For Small Business Looking To Grow"
What do you like best about Magento Open Source?

Flexibility and variety of features and options - available via modules. Scalable in size. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
