What do you like best about Magento Open Source?

Magento is handling order processing, customer management, configuration, third-party payment integration, and shipping issues. Magento already has a standard, well-established architecture that allows them to set up its online stores with great precision. Clients can view their reports, daily sales, best-selling products, and best-buying customers so they can target them via email or simply follow up with them. These are the primary default features that make Magento so appealing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Magento Open Source?

Magento 1 is awesome. But in my opinion Magento 2 is little complex as per first version. Also, in it many core bugs like Stoke status issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

I don't have a face some major issue. Might be I didn't face because I started my work on only Magento 2. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Magento Open Source?

Magento Open Source requires you to have the knowledge to upgrade and update your website. Developer knowledge is key and not all companies have that ability.

What do you like best about Magento Open Source?

Magento open source is easy to set up out of the box. Since it's based on PHP, a little training would help you build and create virtually anything. The security that comes packed into it is the icing on the cake. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Magento Open Source?

The learning curve can be a little steep. The basic OOTB may not suffice for all requirements. You would mostly venture out looking for premium solutions to get the job done. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Helped our team spin up a basic e-commerce site, and start selling rather quickly with an integrated payment gateway and all the jazz. Managing customers and portfolios was a breeze. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like the freedom to write your own code. This allows you to create the website the way you would like and being able to adjust the layout when necessary. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Magento Open Source?

Coming from a WordPress background, this program can be a bit confusing to start. After you have been using this platform for a while, it starts to become easier and efficient to complete your work. Creating Coupon codes can be difficult because some of the functions i would like to use are not available (BOGO deals). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Magento Open Source?

You can add tons of products and it will still run seamlessly. Magento is also very SEO centric. Its page builder WYSIWYG has some neat features. Magento also has some advanced reporting options available and these keep updating constantly to show the latest metrics. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Magento Open Source?

Technical support could be better. You will need a dedicated hosting server for swift operation. Shared hosting does not work quite as well. Magento is a little too complex compared to its alternative. There are a lot of premium features available but are not all free to use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Recommendations to others considering Magento Open Source:

If you are a technically advanced person with good knowledge of WordPress, hosting, and website setup in general, then go for Magento. It also has paid features you can use. It is more secure than WooCommerce in my opinion. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Magento has helped a lot of people including my company to set up an online store and start a business. Our first e-commerce platform was Magento until we made the switch to WooCommerce because of its ease of use. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
