Handles order processing, customer management, configuration, third party payment integration, and shipping matters
Magento has a solution for every business scale, but there were a few issues in the framework itself where there were minor performance issues which they are now working on. Hopefully within six to seven months, if those performance issues are fixed, they will provide a more flexible headless e-commerce approach to their framework, then there will be a greater scope for them overall to be on the larger scale. They are already a competitor with Shopify, but this can put them more on point on to the merchants. Because Magento is relatively new, even though Magento 1 has been in market for 16 or 17 years, 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.

Though good visibility is offered, the area of customization can be difficult to handle
The features of the product that I found to be the most instrumental in providing customer experience stem from the unified inventory and catalog management. The feature of the product that streamlined our company's order management and fulfillment processes is the order orchestration engine. I would rate the tool's ability to handle peak traffic and scale during any high-demand periods an eight to eight and a half out of ten since I have not had any major problems with the product. The measurable benefit my company has experienced from the use of the product stems from the fact that our organization's e-commerce orders have increased by five times compared to what it was earlier, especially if I consider the inclusion of campaigns. I would ask those who plan to use the solution to map out all their internal workflows and processes and then evaluate what they need, after which they need to look at the solutions with which they can do away, or instead of Orckestra, they could probably go ahead with Shopify. I would say that make sure that you really understand all your architecture and your workflows before settling on a solution. I rate the overall tool a seven out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We have the ability to resolve service issues since Magento enables us to invest more time in dealing with custom requirements."
"The platform provides an easy way to customize its features."
"It provides AI features, including a tool called Insight for AI-driven product recommendations."
"Magento is very flexible, and it's one of the biggest e-commerce platforms."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its ease of integration with any upfront platform or CMS solution."
"The open-source PHP code allows our developers to customize pretty much anything on the platform, including allowing us to add some of the most complex shipping and inventory features for clients who have very specific, industry-related business specifications."
"The platform allows us to easily integrate with service vendors, such as delivery services and payment systems."
"Inventory, visibility, catalog management, and order orchestration are the most valuable features of the solution."
 

Cons

"Magneto is monolithic in character, making it difficult for us to scale up very high quickly on the content side."
"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 solution takes a huge amount of time to complete the root cause analysis."
"The hardware requirements of the tool should be made better, as it is a solution that is very heavy on the servers, and it makes it expensive to host many servers."
"Should have a way to communicate properly with the team that builds the platform"
"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."
"I am still playing around and trying to catch up with the latest version to understand all the features, but I do feel that its CMS can be much more streamlined. They provide a what-you-see-is-what-you-get editor, which many customers prefer, but based on the implementations that I have done for more than seven years, I have seen that many times, it is run by the marketing team, and they don't find it very comfortable to use. They feel uncomfortable managing and changing the content. As a business user, you need to have at least basic knowledge of HTML, which you cannot expect from all marketing teams. Some companies or organizations have that competency, but many organizations, especially in the Middle East, have a very small team, so it becomes quite difficult for them. This is a common challenge that I have seen across the platforms. Magento is better and easier than Oracle Commerce Cloud, but Shopify is much easier than Magento. A layman or my 10-year-old kid can go ahead and set up a store in Shopify in probably 45 minutes, which is not the case with Magento. Elasticsearch has really been a pain. It takes a toll on the performance. Starting with version 2.4, Magento requires Elasticsearch, which has been causing a lot of serious performance issues. We had a client in the US who was running a promo, and they lost a subsequent number of orders over one and a half hours. They were on the enterprise platform, not open-source. The team had to open a ticket with Magento. Its performance needs to be upgraded, or some kind of guidelines have to be provided for the setup. It looks like even Magento has no clue. When you go through the answers given in the online community, it seems that in spite of having the hardware configurations that they suggest, it is not performing at the optimal level. It should also have a better way to measure performance. Performance measuring has to be much easier. Many times, we see CPU utilization going up and down. We see spikes without any reason. Therefore, we need a better performance management system."
"The issue with Orckestra stems from the fact that if I want some customization, then I need to work with Orckestra's team, which is a slow process."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"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."
"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 product is likely on the pricier side, though it is considered a budget platform compared to Salesforce."
