Magento is an incredibly capable eCommerce platform built on the Zen PHP framework. It has a lot of community support through paid plugins and has security updates often even with the open source community version. It has basically unlimited customization for a developer that knows what they're doing. There are a lot of integrations with external services, and you can even accept Bitcoin with it! Many cheap and good themes are available to make it look beautiful. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The complexity is over the top even for an intermediate developer. Updates are very difficult to install. The media storage is built around a Unix file system and doesn't work well on Windows. It's massive and slow on local development versions. The paid plugins can sometimes get expensive for small shops. The open source version seems like an afterthought since Magento pushes its "Enterprise" subscriptions... which means their target audience appears very scattered. Contrast this to Drupal's Commerce option, which is all open and you pay firms to implement only. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's flexibility - it can be used for practically everything. It's Open Source, so very likely it already exists (even though it might be for a price), and if it doesn't, you can create it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
