What do you like best about Magento Open Source?

Magento is a great tool to quickly set up your e-commerce online as the base for any e-commerce is already built.

It allows extending the frontend of your website according to your design needs with ease.

It allows easy integration of must-have e-commerce functionalities like Google reviews, customer rewards, Bulk price request, Affiliate marketing through third-party modules.

Best part is, we can also extend and customize the functionality of these third-party modules according to our requirement.

It gives great user experience for the admin side for your e-commerce.

Overall, it is a good open source tool to develop and maintain e-commerce with minimum developer requirement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Magento Open Source?

From the point of view of performance, it is not as good to choose Magento, because many other frameworks are developed which are somewhat more optimised and performance friendly than Magento.

Magento2 is not good to choose, if someone is a fresher in development, as all the basic building code is already there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

Since the platform provides a basic building of any e-commerce in it, we are using and maintaining it with more customisation and integration with lesser development cost . Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Magento Open Source?

Its unparalleled flexibility and customization capabilities.

Here's why:

Ultimate Customization and Control: Unlike many SaaS (Software as a Service) e-commerce platforms, Magento Open Source provides complete control over every aspect of our store. we have full access to the source code, allowing for deep modifications to fit highly specific business requirements, workflows, and unique customer experiences that simply aren't possible with more restrictive platforms. This is critical for businesses with complex catalogs, unique selling propositions, or intricate backend integrations.

Exceptional Scalability: Magento Open Source is built to scale. It can handle massive product catalogs, high traffic volumes, and significant transaction loads. This makes it an ideal choice for businesses that anticipate rapid growth or are already operating at an enterprise level. we're not likely to hit a performance ceiling with Magento, provided it's properly implemented and maintained.

Vast Extension Marketplace and Developer Ecosystem: The open-source nature fosters a massive global community of developers and a rich marketplace of extensions. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Magento Open Source?

its significant complexity and the high total cost of ownership, despite being "free" software.

Here's a breakdown of the common drawbacks:

Steep Learning Curve and High Technical Requirements,Hosting Costs: Magento is resource-intensive and demands powerful, often dedicated or cloud-based hosting Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

B2C and B2B Commerce: While often associated with B2C, Magento Open Source (especially with the right extensions and customizations) is also a strong platform for B2B e-commerce. It can be configured to support features like customer-specific pricing, company accounts, quick order forms, purchase orders, and multi-level approval workflows,Integration-Heavy Environments Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Magento makes it simple to manage administrative tasks.
