What do you like best about Magento Open Source?

Magento's biggest pro is it is open source, has a large help community and lots of examples available. It's open source architecture allows for a great deal of customization as needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Magento Open Source?

The same open source nature of Magento also means there can be a lot of code conflicts from poor implementations of code, particularly as the number of third party modules used on a store increases, and lots of old examples from outdated documentation. However, with proper attention to detail Magento is a very powerful platform for an eCommerce site. I have not tested Magento 2 extensively to know if some of these issues are better in the new version. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Magento Open Source?

Magento is delivered as a fully functional webcart from the time you install it on your webhost. We were able to launch our first Magento store with very little engineering time, and the multitude of themes, extensions, and modules make it an extremely robust ecommerce solution. As an open source solution, you have full access to the codebase which is great for customizing the functionality of your site. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Magento Open Source?

Unfortunately, the extensible nature of the platform leaves you vulnerable to module/extension incompatibilities and version lock when an new Magento version is released. You definitely want to have a Magento developer handy or be comfortable working with PHP and mySQL yourself to have long-term success with this platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We adopted Magento CE to build our ecommerce offering. As a distributor for various hardware manufacturers, our Magento-based store has definitely helped us extend our reach and gain many new customers.

Magento has everything baked into it: product management, customer administration, order management. We've been able to further extend the system with a third-party ERP solution to reduce the amount of time it takes to process orders. Due to our Magento solution, we can process payment and ship an in-stock order in about 10 minutes. Compared to traditional B2B/offline order processing, that alone is huge.

What do you like best about Magento Open Source?

Magento 1.x, 2.x as e-commerce serves well for an open source code community. Having PHP as primary programming language, Magento brings in excellent traction to developers for innovation & business.

Magento ecosystem caters well for the startup to mid-size e-commerce companies by providing out of box setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Magento Open Source?

Magento doesn't have high-end e-commerce companies as partners.

Magento plugin system works great but when it comes to PCI audit it is vulnerable to have sensitive data.

Don't have modern Data analytics support. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Magento Open Source:

1. Magento 1.x, 2.x have clear developer guidelines across all planes(developers, companies etc).

2. Best practices (Magento certified) and server stack blueprints need to be shared.

3. Company Success Stories & Tech Blogs should be posted under Magento umbrella.

4. Integrate all Magento Developers into single forte.

5. Take Magento to modern business needs like Machine Learning, NLTK support etc.

6. Take Magento to support Facebook PHP VM. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We implemented eWallet Plugin for Magento, which integrates with our company. The Plugin helps us to be a better business partner with our e-commerce peers. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
