"Proud Agency Partner"
5/5
What do you like best about Alokai?

As a truly agnostic Frontend platform, Vue Storefront's ability to optimize and boost site performance to enhance the customer journey is unparallel. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Alokai?

The most common critique I have experienced is that the platform/product is a bit more geared towards engineers and not as empowering for business/admin users as it could be. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Very Expensive, Built For Seasoned Developers Not Much Of A Community Be Prepared To Spend A Fortune"
0.5/5
What do you like best about Alokai?

The upsides are few. The only real one I can think of is it is decent in speed on mobile not anywhere near the lightning speeds they tout but it's ok. We have solved our checkout process that at least works properly on the platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Alokai?

Pretty much everything. Let's start with theming. The two main themes were created by people who either have never visited an ecommerce store before or they simply want to ensure that they can recharge the clients every time they implement very very very basic functionality. These include:

1. No zoom on images

2. Images don't load by SSR

3. SCHEMA set up is missing a lot of information

4. Meta Descriptions and Titles need to be manually fixed all the time.

5. Filters on category pages don't work properly they need to be cusotmized (To use OR between options in the filter and AND between filters)

6. Out of stock management needs major customization.

7. Load times are not great and your Google Page Speed Insights score without heavy customization will be very low on mobile.

8. Almost no payment gateways work out of the box.

And the list goes on and on. It is not user friendly unless you are a seasoned VueJs developer and the community so far is very much a proprietary one where there is no marketplace for modules and very very few decent repositories that work OOTB. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
