What do you like best about Magento Open Source?

Magento Open Source offers extensive configuration options and lots of cart functionality out of the box. Once configured you will find that the default themes and flows are adequate for pushing cart sales and directing your customer through the process to a successful transaction. I have also found that the cart runs very well on hardware spec that are less than recommended and lower cost cloud servers work well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Magento Open Source?

Theming, or even making small changes to the look and feel of the site require an extensive knowledge of web technologies. While updates and security patches are frequent, I have found that installing the patches to be a hassle with a high failure rate as well. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Magento Open Source:

I have tried several big name products, both hosted and self-hosted, and can say that the value is definitely with Magento. Other products are easier to setup and initial implementation is faster, but benefits and long term use is much better on the Magento platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Provide a robust online shopping cart without the cost of a hosted solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Magento Open Source?

Magento's open source version is free to download install and customize., saving you money especially if you know a bit of html and php. Like all "open source" shopping carts, you own and control the complete code on your own hosting account, and are free to do whatever you'd like with it, change it in any way that you can image. Download other developers' "ad ons", read, learn, and understand many ways to customize your shopping cart website to your own liking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Magento Open Source?

The support for the open source version is lacking. Although the user base is very large, the quality of the user base comments and replies you get might not be as easy to obtain, understand, or replicate the exact same issue in the same way. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Magento Open Source:

Use a template right from the start for a fast setup and install that already has the design you want. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Magento Open Source?

It can be quite difficult to customize the store exactly to meet your needs. The front end is very flexbile, but it is more complex than other e-commerce solutions. Also, it is not the fastest e-commerce platform. It needs a dedicated server to run on. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It has made our workflow for handling web shop orders much easier. Magento has powerful built-in features to track orders and customers. It also has marketing/SEO features. We no longer need to use additional tooling to do our financial administration. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
