"Ownership makes it very hard to love Magento"

2.5/5

What do you like best about Magento Open Source?

Was using Magento in 2006 1.xx days and it really, really great. Very robust and dependable... couldn't ask for more, But when eBay bought it and went to the 2.xx foundation it was a complete disaster, nothing was compatible and for me to make the move to 2.xx would have been insanely costly. I ended up switching to WooCommerce and I've been happy, but miss the versatility of Magento. I've used 2.xx in other appications with Adobe at the helm, and it's good, but won't make the leap until i'm forced to. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Magento Open Source?

It can be costly if you need outside plugins, Seems like Magento developers think they're mightier than god and charge like it. If you don't need anything outside of a base install, you'll be ok. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

We use the platform to run our backend e-commerce operations and it has proved to be an able ally with everything. With Adobe's acquisition, the platform has gotten rid of some of it's quirks and been replaced with reliability and predictability. The open source nature can be useful as you continue building upon the stack but can become binding in the long run. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
