    Primarily B2C focused, I think that the B2B features are increasing but the core focus of the platform (and Magento) is really consumer-based. That said, if you are looking for the fastest time to market with minimal investment option then Adobe Commerce is likely not the option that 9 out of 10 people would opt for nowadays.

    Podia
    In my experience, Podia has been well suited in every way! I am a small company with a couple of independent contractors, and I don't know how to build my own website. I am not very techy. I get lots of compliments on how my website looks! I have had some people support me with setting up my group emails for my email list and setting up automations, and these techy people complained that they needed to do more customization in the email formatting and programming, so I switched to Mailchimp for those needs. Otherwise, I have been very happy with Podia and I am grateful to have a platform that offers so many services/features. It's affordable and user friendly. My clients and students are happy using it, too

    Pros
    Adobe
    • The ease of use with page builder requiring no developer skills to maintain most of our pages.
    • The catalog is straightforward and easy to use and having the ability to update pricing and other key pieces based on customer group is very helpful.
    • Many of the extensions Adobe Commerce has help us to do what we need to do more quickly without a great deal of development efforts and cost.

    Cons
    Adobe
    • Magento Commerce Cloud can be complicated to develop for. In our field, it has been a struggle at times to find qualified developers.
    • Our merchandising team sees performance issues from time to time. Updating a product and waiting for the change to clear the queue can take up to an hour in some situations.
    • Because of the incredible amount of features that Magento Commerce Cloud offers, training new employees to use Magento takes a long time.

    It has the best overall price point. It is super cheap and the connection between our ERP system is unmatched by any other Ecommerce sites we have talked with. We honestly can't get this level of complex customization without having to spend a fortune somewhere else. It is able to do everything we need it to do for the right price.

    Usability
    Adobe
    Being unable to store quotes for later was annoying. People called up expecting to pay there and then, and having to place them on hold whilst you added items to the basket and input all their customer information in was annoying for them and us, making us look unprofessional.

    It has a great user interface, it's fast to edit and create courses, to edit and create emails, to find chats, to develop the website. Support has been friendly and I haven't found anything that hasn't worked. It also has basically all the tools you need outside if a complete blog platform

    Magento Commerce was previously put into place and used right when I came onboard. We used it for quite some time, but ultimately the need for our company's specific customizations became too difficult to manage during core updates. We specifically needed a more specialized way of calculating shipping, connecting with our 3PL's inventory API, managing specialized discounts and codes, and even the way we showcased information on the product pages.

    Kajabi had lots of features all in one place. I liked their digital course creator program. I liked the ease of their their membership site program/host, too. It had an app for my clients to use. There were some problems with not being able to customize the look of pages, but they allowed coding/programming if you had training, so I sometimes hired someone to do that for me. I couldn't figure out how to use their website builder, so I didn't do much there. When it came down to it, I could use Podia and it was cheaper and easier to use. GoDaddy was my website host for a few years. I did a lot on there. It was my website builder and host and I liked it. It was easy to use. My website looked great. It had more features than Podia with blogging and connecting to social media. I had a storefront but it wasn't great for selling digital products. Back then, it wanted to show my inventory and shipping options, which don't apply for services and digital products. I did a little with my digital courses on there, but in the end, I liked other sites better for this. It didn't work out. Weebly was just a starting point for me when I create my first digital course. I liked how it looked and it was easy to build, but there are better options for this sort of thing now.
