What do you like best about Magento Open Source?

What do you like best about Magento Open Source?

No matter how you look at it Magento is the most feature-rich out of the box and scalable platform there is on the market. You could spend weeks, countless hours, and thousands of dollars playing with the other platforms out there but in the end, they won't hold up to Magento when it's built right.

Almost limitless configurations, open source, tiered pricing groups, product scheduling, product staging & preview, grouped products, bundled products, single page dynamic checkout, full page caching, RMA, shipping, inventory management, and more right out of the box. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Magento Open Source?

It does require a developer even if you're savvy enough to get it up and running on your own and you install and set up all your extensions you're going to run into what we call (conflicts), some people call bugs. That developer is going to come in handy and they're worth the money because they can get things fixed relatively quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Magento Open Source:

You should choose Magento if you are wanting a platform that can scale as your business grows. When you weigh out the pros, cons, and costs versus the other platforms you're going to come in cheaper using Magento. The majority of the other platforms on the market are SAAS based and thus and feature enhancements, improvements, or integrations are going to be extra and also SAAS. Remember that SAAS is for the life of the store, meaning as long as you host the store on a SAAS based platform such as Shopify, Big Commerce, Mivo, Demandware, etc, the more it's going to cost you in the long run.

Do your homework and I think you'll agree. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Content staging, product scheduling, B2B features, and the ability to run multiple domains/stores from one instance of Magento. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Magento Open Source?

The powerful capabilities that can withstand companies with hundreds of products and variations. Magento is open source which is great for continued work on code for the platform to get better and better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Magento Open Source?

Magento is kind of like a DIY...you do not have a great "customer service" option if something goes wrong, and if you have a ton of products then something is bound to go wrong. We experience a lot of users that go to checkout and they get the "circle of death" spinning loader that does not allow them to check out. It is an issue that happens now and then but too often than we would like and who knows how much money was lost due to that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Magento Open Source:

Research your company's or client's goals before deciding which platform to use for eCommerce. There are differences in each platform that will make a huge difference in accomplishing those goals. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We have more control with Magento websites. We custom code websites anyway so for our eCommerce clients, this is a great source as far as having more control compared to BigCommerce, Shopify, etc. It's definitely something you want to research thoroughly though because BigCommerce works better for some of our other clients for different purposes.
