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 platform provides an easy way to customize its features."

"It provides AI features, including a tool called Insight for AI-driven product recommendations."

"The customization capabilities of Adobe Commerce are great."

"The product can be maintained effortlessly."

"As compared to platforms such as ATG or Commerce Cloud, its interface is easy to use. Magento also provides seamless administration for business users. You can also integrate an OMS to an extent. You don't need to have a dedicated OMS. You can leverage the out-of-the-box features of Magento, which is very valuable for startups. Other platforms, such as Commerce Cloud, don't have an OMS, and you have to have your own OMS solution."

"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 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."

"On the plus side, when you build everything from scratch in Magento, you can do magic with it."

More Adobe Commerce pros

"Its dashboards, business features, and user-friendliness of a lot of business interfaces are valuable. We work on B2B projects, and it is the most efficient software solution for B2B. The B2B accelerator is very much appreciated by our customers because it has some use cases that are ready for production. For some projects, we proposed the SAP Hybris solution because it was sufficient for use cases related to product management and data quality. With other e-commerce platforms, we would have needed integration with another product information management software."

"Hybris offers a platform designed for speed."

"If you have a client and they want to have an e-commerce project that is based on solid principles, you don't need too much time to develop it."

"We like that this solution gives our B2B clients a lot of functionality straight 'out of the box', meaning that they don't need to carry out a lot of configuration to be able to use it."

"Hybris Commerce's most valuable feature is the simple integration with ERP."

"SAP Hybris provides us with all of the e-commerce features that a client could need."

"The simple steps for configuring your checkout processes, as well as the promotional engine, are the most valuable features of this solution."

"SAP Hybris Commerce is a very advanced e-commerce platform compared to other platforms such as WebSphere Commerce, Oracle Commerce, and others."

More SAP Commerce Cloud pros

Cons

"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."

"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 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."

"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."

"Should have a way to communicate properly with the team that builds the platform"

"More technical knowledge is required to keep a Magento website running smoothly compared to many other platforms like OpenCart."

"The limited availability of experienced developers can make the product costly to maintain."

"Magneto is monolithic in character, making it difficult for us to scale up very high quickly on the content side."

More Adobe Commerce cons

"A public cloud solution of this software would open great possibilities."

"The support team should improve the response time."

"In terms of what could be improved, I would say the product search. There will be multiple criteria to search products and there will be a number of products in different categories. The question is how soon can I find the product which I'm looking for. The search can be improved."

"The WCS management or content management is not that great."

"The initial setup was complex because it was a prime migration from the PrestaShop platform to commerce cloud, and it was very, very complex to migrate some data from one side to the other."

"The learning curve is high."

"SAP Commerce needs to have a credit limit like Salesforce. Currently, we have to do the coding and customization and then showcase it to the user."

"Hybris is not currently using microservices."

More SAP Commerce Cloud cons

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."

"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."

"We transitioned from the platform's commercial license to the open-source version, which helped optimize costs without affecting our sales."

"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 cost of implementation is cheap compared to other solutions."

"I don't know the cost, but it can be expensive."

"The solution is very expensive in Turkey."

"The price is too high."

"This is an expensive solution."

"The solution is expensive."

"The price is quite high."

"SAP Hybris is expensive, which is why only the large clients use it. At the same time, I think that the return on investment warrants it."

"The product is expensive. I would rate its price a seven out of ten. The solution's licensing is yearly."

WCS vs Hybris vs ATG - Feature Smackdown
