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:
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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 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."
"The cost of implementation is cheap compared to other solutions."
"The product offers an open-source version, which is free. There are licensing options for Adobe Commerce's cloud version."
"Many implementations were open-source. We also had a couple of enterprise-level implementations, but I didn't have visibility on the licensing cost."
