Alokai Reviews & Product Details

Alokai offers an intuitive and user-friendly interface that makes it easy for both developers and business users to navigate and leverage its features. The simplicity of the platform ensures a smooth learning curve, which is a significant advantage for teams with varying levels of technical expertise.

Another major strength is the wide range of integrations available, allowing businesses to seamlessly connect with various third-party tools and services. This flexibility makes it a great choice for companies looking to build a customizable and scalable storefront.

The ease of implementation is also worth highlighting. Alokai streamlines the setup process, reducing the time and effort required to get started. Additionally, their customer support team is responsive and helpful, ensuring that any issues or questions are quickly addressed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Alokai has many strengths, there are a few areas where it could improve. For example, some users may find the documentation to be lacking in depth, which can make troubleshooting or exploring advanced features more challenging without direct support.

Another downside is that while the integrations are extensive, certain niche tools or platforms may not yet be supported, requiring custom development work to bridge the gap.

Lastly, while the platform is easy to use, some advanced customization options may feel limited for highly complex projects, potentially requiring more technical expertise than anticipated. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

There are two key things worth highlighting: the people and the platform itself.

First, the people. We had an outstanding experience working with every Alokai team member we interacted with. They were always available, supportive, even when the issue extended beyond Alokai’s direct scope. Their collaboration and commitment made them a truly valuable extension of our delivery team.

Second, the platform. From a project management perspective, I can confidently say we've never encountered any major issues with Alokai. The console is so well-designed and intuitive that I was able to independently track performance trends. We’ve now been live for over a year without a single incident caused by the platform which speaks for itself ;) Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Do not have anything i don't like. Super engaged team really make a difference. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Performance, easy of use, lot's of tools already implemented. Alokai console gives a nice overview of the solution in case of alokai cloud. Good documentation and even better support from Alokai. Overall no problems (no errors, no crashes etc). Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Limited administration capabilities in alokai cloud - no SSH access to server limits the way of custom changes. Logs are difficult to browse only through alokai console. Without New Relic it would be really difficult to find anything in logs, specially on our production environment (where we have a LOT of logs). Simple SSH access (even with just read access) would help, as there are many text editors or commands like tail. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Alokai provides a solid foundation for building performant and customizable ecommerce frontends. Its modular architecture and API-first approach make it easy to integrate with multiple backends. We particularly appreciate the Magento 2 support and the Nuxt 3 templates, which have sped up our development process significantly. The documentation has improved over time, and their support team is responsive and helpful whenever we hit a roadblock. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Some parts of the ecosystem feel like they’re still catching up—especially when it comes to advanced use cases or less common integrations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We've been using Alokai as part of our solution, and overall, the experience has been excellent. One of the standout features is the ease of integration—it's clear that a lot of thought has gone into making the platform developer-friendly. The wide range of available integrations has also been a huge plus, allowing us to connect with various services quickly and efficiently.

Another highlight is their customer support. Whenever we've needed assistance, their team has been responsive, knowledgeable, and genuinely helpful. It’s reassuring to know that support is there when we need it.

In short, Alokai has been a reliable and well-integrated part of our stack, and we’d confidently recommend it to others looking for a flexible, well-supported solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Alokai has been a strong part of our solution overall, there have been a few obstacles during implementation. Occasionally, certain integrations didn’t work as smoothly out of the box as expected, requiring additional configuration or custom workarounds. These issues weren’t deal-breakers, but they did slow us down at times. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Vue Storefront provides an unparalleled combination of flexibility and performance. One standout feature for us has been its compatibility with Vendure on the backend. This dual architecture, both leveraging TypeScript/JavaScript, harmonizes perfectly to yield an incredibly reliable, flexible, and scalable solution. The platform's progressive web app (PWA) nature ensures fast, mobile-first experiences, essential for our mobile-savvy audience. Additionally, the active community and rich documentation have been immensely beneficial, offering timely support and facilitating a smooth learning process.

While Vue Storefront is incredibly robust and versatile, beginners might face a bit of a steep learning curve initially. However, with the abundant resources and supportive community, this challenge is quickly mitigated over time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

In combination with Storefront UI, Vue Storefront is a quick way to start your e-commerce project.

It is customisable and extendible.

If you grow out of your e-commerce backend or other services, VSF makes it easy to switch in the background.

VSF is popular amongst e-commerce vendors, solution integrators, users and developers, which leads to many community contributions and an always-increasing repertoire of integrations.

The core team of VSF is experienced, knowledgeable and well-connected in the Vue community. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Like most platforms using modern JavaScript libraries, the bundle sizes users have to download are significant, which can be counter-productive since improving page speed is usually the goal of implementing a new frontend.

Due diligence is vital. Requirements should be verified that they are implemented as expected in Storefront UI, Vue Storefront, the backend system and its integration into VSF. Do not assume something is already implemented without verification. Verify that various components are compatible with each other.

Vue Storefront does not use GraphQL between the client- and server-side. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best part of Vue Storefront is that it is backend independent, which ensures that it will work with the majority of the eCommerce ecosystem, including Magento, Shopify, Commerce Tools, etc.

It is capable of delivering the key component of headless and PWA approaches viz. Speed & Performance.

Being an open-source solution it is highly flexible and out-of-the-box solutions can be easily delivered. Implementing custom functionalities is comparatively easy than the other headless frameworks available.

There is a vibrant community for Vue Storefront, and they are always willing to help. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It would be great if they have some marketplace where ready 3rd party integration is available so every merchant don't have to build it on their own. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Vue Storefront has an amazing team. Technically savvy, strong industry knowledge and enabling a great accelerating point for storefronts. I appreciate how they are very clear about what they do and what they do not do. There is no marketing fluff to blur the lines and you know exactly what you are going to get.

The starting points are extremely useful, integration patterns make sense and you are in complete control of your experience. Their documentation is also great and easy find what you like.

Aside from the technology, the team themselves are great at listening to customer feedback and enabling teams to get the best out of it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing negative to discuss! Just the same as with any popular company growing. Would be great for them to have more resources over time to fulfill all of their future plans! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

VueStorefront works out-of-the-box with Commercetools API. The UI supports desktops and mobiles. It can be easily extended. Because of using the vue.js web framework, web developers can pick it up in timely manner. VueStorefront follows Google Retail UX Playbook and Atomic Design patterns for components. Also supports out-of-the-box integrations with Adyen and ContentStack. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The documentation has been improved but still can be improved further by adding more examples. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
