"Magento Open Source - Website Platform"
3.5/5
What do you like best about Magento Open Source?

What do you dislike about Magento Open Source?

Since it is geared towards e-commerce, some capabilities had to be customized to best display the technical specs of our products. There were some attributes that revolved around price that could not easily be adjusted to show decimal places beyond hundredths. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you like best about Magento Open Source?

Magento is handling order processing, customer management, configuration, third-party payment integration, and shipping issues. Magento already has a standard, well-established architecture that allows them to set up its online stores with great precision. Clients can view their reports, daily sales, best-selling products, and best-buying customers so they can target them via email or simply follow up with them. These are the primary default features that make Magento so appealing. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Magento Open Source?

Magento 1 is awesome. But in my opinion Magento 2 is little complex as per first version. Also, in it many core bugs like Stoke status issue. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

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.

"Robust E-commerce solution.period!"
4.5/5
What do you like best about Magento Open Source?

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?

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.
