Find specialized developers and therefore when you find them their cost is quite expensive, but Magento is not a tool for small projects, but only for valuable projects that last over time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Magento Open Source allows you to build a online store and has the basic ecommerce capabilities"
What do you like best about Magento Open Source?

Magento Open Source was used when the company was first founded. It had the ecommerce solutions we needed. From shopping carts, to website management, it was really easy to navigate and maintain. 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. We must outsource in order to update and grow the existing websites. Meanwhile, other Ecommerce platforms can easily help us transition. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Great and flexible solution for ecommerce"
What do you like best about Magento Open Source?

Magento works very well with enterprise ecommerce. You can create your shop the way you want as long as you have a good dev backup. There are many ready plugins dedicated to Magento. It is easy to integrate Magento with any 3rd party software. A big community of developers who exchange their knowledge. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Magento Open Source?

Updates are extreme. Magento is costly (even if you use the free version) - you have to use the help of developers if you want to progress with your platform. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Robust E-commerce solution.period!"
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 do you dislike about Magento Open Source?

Probably the time it takes to develop a site, it is slightly more challenging to use compared to its counterparts Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Solid E-Commerce Platform"
What do you like best about Magento Open Source?

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.

"More secure but less intuitive and user friendly"
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.

"Best platform to create own eCommerce store online with ease"

Firstly the standard version is opensource. It supports multiple stores, multiple currencies and vendors. It can be easily integrated with 3rd party applications as well as with Google services. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Magento Open Source?

Till now I have not noticed anything in this opensource eCommerce platform which can be disliked. Rather than, all of the features included in this platform are very intuitive and learned in an easy way without going deep into technical aspects. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
