3dcart vs Magento Open Source

• SEO - 3dcart is built in such a way that even if you do no SEO work at all, as long as you use the meta description wizard on each page or product you wind up still searching pretty well in Google.
• Product uploads - Product uploads are easy to do with 3dcart's .csv import/export feature. No need to struggle with messy simple and variable uploads like on WooCommerce, 3dcart takes the guesswork and hassle out of uploading different product types.
• Media uploads - Media uploads are quick and simple and the uploader always works.

• Magento Open Source allows us to manage thousands of products in an easy to view and edit manner. We can make bulk changes to hundreds of products when necessary in just a few minutes.
• Magento Open Source is incredibly flexible from a developers perspective. We have been able to develop many custom solutions that Magento Open Source didn't offer out of the box without any difficulty.
• Magento Open Source allows us to pull reports very quickly. The product grid screen (Manage Products) allows you to customize the data columns you see which allows you to pull a report of just the data you want. We use this multiple times per day to see data on our catalog.
• Magento Open Source makes it very easy to set URL redirects when we change product pages or category structure. This is incredibly useful in our daily use of Magento.

• 3dcart does not connect to many of the POS systems my clients use so we need to manually update inventory daily/weekly.
• There are many modules available to do many different things, but it makes you feel like you are being tickled and died to death to get the site to do exactly what you want. Also can be confusing if you don't know what you actually need.
• It's a little difficult/confusing to upload products with multiple variations - ie: color and size - especially if there are multiples colors and multiple sizes.

• Updates - historically patches and updates, due to the frequent high customization, can be difficult
• User Experience of Management - managing the store is not as intuitive as some other systems
• Frontend Development and templating - while very flexible and modular, they are much more complex than many other systems

• Too much time has been spent on development of the Magento implementation and maintenance that should have been spent on marketing and customer experience improvements.
