Marco Almeida - PeerSpot reviewer
An extremely flexible and highly scalable platform offering exceptional customer support to its users
Magento is very flexible, and it's one of the biggest e-commerce platforms. I would say that there are a lot of system integrators worldwide, which is great. So, I think you can have access and higher expert system integrators all over the world. Sometimes, the system integrators feel the need for Magento to be more customizable. It's a very agnostic platform, so you need to customize everything. For some kinds of features, it probably could be a good idea to have the solution customized so that it can be an out-of-the-box solution. But it's a good platform, pretty much from my perspective. I'm not a technical person, but we had some kind of late response in page loading, let's say page load speed. I don't know if it's from Magento or based on the solution that was built by the system integrator. I think it is a mix of both. Getting a platform that is really fast is something important for our customers. So we need to make sure that every time we are building a store, we are going to deliver very good page load speed performance.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"The solution's valuable features are the presentation layout and ease of use. When we have new people joining the team, it is simple for them to get involved very quickly."
"The platform allows us to easily integrate with service vendors, such as delivery services and payment systems."
"Magento is very flexible, and it's one of the biggest e-commerce platforms."
"The customization capabilities of Adobe Commerce are great."
"Magento has changed over the years, but one of the most interesting aspects is that it gets the job done, and a vast community of experts is knowledgeable about the solution."
"Magento provides a strong backing, meaning it can handle the order processing, customer management, configuration, third party payment integration, and shipping matters. There is a standard, very well set up architecture already present in Magento that helps them set up their online shops with much precision. Clients can see their reports, their daily sales, their best selling products, and their best buying customers so that they can target them through mails or just follow up with them. These are the main default features which make Magento so attractive."
"On the plus side, when you build everything from scratch in Magento, you can do magic with it."
"The platform provides an easy way to customize its features."
"It is a scalable solution."
 

Cons

"The solution’s performance could be improved."
"More technical knowledge is required to keep a Magento website running smoothly compared to many other platforms like OpenCart."
"The solution takes a huge amount of time to complete the root cause analysis."
"Magento 2 is only three to four years old, so it is an evolving technology. In certain areas on the front there were some glitches. For example, you can't do certain kinds of filters on data and you have certain speed issues on category pages due to the way it was written within Magento. Those were a few minor tweaks where we, as a community, found that to be a necessary scope of improvement. But I think they are working on it and hopefully they can solve these issues earlier than later."
"The data analysis could be improved. The data that you receive whenever you go into the backend of the platform for the analysis is very simple and basic, it could be a little more sophisticated in order to be closer to the client. The data analysis and intelligence of the platform could be better."
"The industry has evolved, and the main focus is composable solutions because of which now SAP and Magento are forced to tackle various aspects of commerce, including commerce tools and pricing strategies, among other things."
"I'm not a technical person, but we had some kind of late response in page loading, let's say page load speed."
"The performance is a bottleneck in Magento and there is a lot of room for improvement in this regard."
"They should provide integration with social networking sites."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product offers an open-source version, which is free. There are licensing options for Adobe Commerce's cloud version."
"The cost of implementation is cheap compared to other solutions."
"The price of the solution increased after Adobe acquired Magento. At this point, we know the price of Magento and SAP, and while they may have lower entry tickets, they are ultimately comparable."
"We transitioned from the platform's commercial license to the open-source version, which helped optimize costs without affecting our sales."
"Many implementations were open-source. We also had a couple of enterprise-level implementations, but I didn't have visibility on the licensing cost."
"This solution is cheaper than some of its competitors. However, the price depends on which country you are in. In some countries, such as Greece or some Southeastern European countries, the price for the client can be expensive."
"The solution's price is reasonable."
