Magento Open Source Reviews & Product Details

The thing I like best about Magento Open Source is that we are finally moving away from it. The absolute highlight of our entire experience with this platform is the upcoming date when we officially migrate to Shopify. Knowing that we will never have to deal with Magento or Adobe Commerce ever again is the only positive feeling I have regarding the software. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I dislike almost everything. It is a catastrophic drain on resources, acting like a blood-thirsty vampire that has nearly killed our business several times. We have been trapped in a cycle of never-ending technical problems and unreliable "security patches" that are both mandatory and ridiculously expensive.

These updates frequently break existing functionality, creating a "quicksand" effect where you are constantly paying developers to fix things that shouldn't have broken in the first place. The architecture is needlessly complex, seemingly designed to maximize billable hours for agencies rather than providing a stable environment for a merchant.

The ease of use of Magento Open Source really impressed me. It simplified my work at an incredible speed, allowing me to save time that I can dedicate to other activities. Moreover, the initial setup was very quick and simple, which greatly facilitated the transition from Bitrix24. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

NOTHING is EVERYTHING WONDERFUL AT THE MOMENT, CONSIDERING THAT I HAVE BEEN USING IT FOR A MONTH Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It works quite smooth. In my experience when you use a heavy platform, it always lags. To my surprise, Magento is quite smooth, it instantly reacts to every click of my mouse. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do not like that for every login I need a MFA. Plus after a couple of minutes of no activity it asks me to extend my session, and in some cases even after I extend my session it still logs me out. I hate this feature. In fact not just me, no body in my team likes this part. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I find Magento Open Source to be a great eCommerce platform for small businesses. It's pretty straightforward, although a lot of developer support is needed. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It's not as user-friendly as a lot of other platforms and requires a lot of technical support from developers. The initial setup was not easy. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Magento is a great tool to quickly set up your e-commerce online as the base for any e-commerce is already built.

It allows extending the frontend of your website according to your design needs with ease.

It allows easy integration of must-have e-commerce functionalities like Google reviews, customer rewards, Bulk price request, Affiliate marketing through third-party modules.

Best part is, we can also extend and customize the functionality of these third-party modules according to our requirement.

It gives great user experience for the admin side for your e-commerce.

Overall, it is a good open source tool to develop and maintain e-commerce with minimum developer requirement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

From the point of view of performance, it is not as good to choose Magento, because many other frameworks are developed which are somewhat more optimised and performance friendly than Magento.

Magento2 is not good to choose, if someone is a fresher in development, as all the basic building code is already there. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The interface is easy to use and user-friendly. It has very good number of features we can integrate on our website. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I don't like Magento because the maintenance costs are too high. Additionally, even for basic functionality or simple code changes, I need a developer's assistance. When it's time to upgrade the site, the website has to be put under maintenance, which is inconvenient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
