Magento Open Source Reviews & Product Details - Page 20

Powerful, many advanced features and of course open source so no pesky monthly fees. Excellent multilingual and multistore support. A large pool of Magento experts around the world who can help. Some excellent themes available for purchase at a reasonable fee and a wide range of plugins to extent functionality. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Needs to run on a powerful webserver to get the required response times. Every Magento expert I turned to told me I needed hours and hours to do each task I asked. Was very frustrating and in the end I learned to do it myself although there is certainly need for a tech person in the background and available to answer questions and help out where needed. This is not a plug and play system that you can setup and just let run. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's a great and versatile eCommerce platform, which gives plenty of flexibility and has support for a vast amount of features and products. Being open source, you have carte blanche to change whatever you want and are only limited by your skillset and imagination. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Although it is flexible and customisable, the Magento platform is overly complex and it's greatest strength - the huge support of third-party developers - is also it's greatest weakness. There is no central support and if Magento of any of its TP components break down, you are on your own.

It also becomes way too problematic if you have a large database. In our experience, a large MySQL database gives rise to a myriad of speed and indexing issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Flexibility. To create your website, Magento is one of the best platform that gives you design flexibility. Also it is a great platform for SEO. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Unless you are a trained programmer, it is hard to customize and make a use. It requires a certain programming skill. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Magento was always my go to platform for an ecommerce, easy to use and easy to find free apps in the marketplace. An excellent way to start building a new ecommerde business withouth spending too much money Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Magento v2 is now complex to install and maintain, you almost need a technical expert to support you.

Lot of security to maintain, otherwise you will be hacks pretty fast

V2 is extremely slow compare to v1 Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It is open source and freely available for public use Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It does not have lots of features like in Magento commerce edition. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It offers both robustness and flexibility but just have a detailed requirement analysis first in place and with some platform studying. Also, there many ready built plugins available that can be used to fulfill your needs. For example, the marketplace has many plugins including digital marketing such as SEO, online advertising, email marketing and social. Also, you can find accounting and finance related plugins and user experience related tools as dozens of themes. To complete the cycle, you can check payment integration as PayPal.

Apart from both learning experience curve, I believe it is a good tool for e-commerce business. Also, it needs significant performance optimization. Either you pay premium support or be ready to invest a lot of time to do it yourself. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Solves all the common retail problems - stores, products with variants, etc Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The whole thing. Try to setup Magento 10 times, you'll get 6 different experiences, with different problems each time. The problem extends all the way even when developing it, some parts of the entities has repository API, some don't - resulting in spaghetti codes all around.

In my opinion Magento is the best open source shop-system. It is easy to use, has a lot of extensions and api´s to third party software also the magento community is so large that there is nearly no problem which can´t be solved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Also it is easy to use, sometimes it´s tricky when you install new extensions and then something doesn´t work and you don´t know why. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Robust feature set; start up, large corporate ecommerce, Magento is my go to choice for ecommerce. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It can be little heavier than needed for some solutions, but by choosing Magento 1st you know you'll be able to scale your business without having to switch platforms. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Magento understand eCommerce and how to build a CMS that really makes it easy for the non-coder to work with. Really good product with a robust community. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Magento is a great product, but in all honesty, one can do all of what Magento does with WordPress and/or Drupal. They each have bigger, more innovative and agressive open source developers producing really cutting-edge plug-ins. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
