Authorize.net is well suited for a small businesses that plans to collect a lot of payments. It accepts all the major credit cards and works flawlessly in processing the payment quickly and accurately. Its low fees work well for a large volume of payments. Due to it's difficult importing and exporting settings, Authorize.net is less appropriate for growing businesses that are looking to use analytics to leverage it's success. It's also less appropriate if you plan to offer subscriptions or payment plans.

Cons

Local payments methods are an area for improvement. Not all are connected so far.
Bulk updates for catalogs are missing at the moment, to be added in upcoming releases I hope.

The administrator home page is a bit cluttered. They would be better served to use more drop down lists, etc. to free up some space on the home page.

Authorize.net is often on the more complex end to implement (at least for custom implementations). Stripe and Braintree are somewhat more developer-friendly and also have more intuitive user interfaces (for management and day-to-day use).Some other services also have better price points - be sure to shop around.But, it has a longer history than some services and high support among third-party software, plugins and other solutions.
