Cons

The high cost of the platform itself and plugins.
Unavailability of the mobile application in the basic version of the platform.
Relatively difficult process of installing updates if you are new to IT.

Ecwid may have too many features and functions for basic users like us. The level of customization and features available are extensive and it can be confusing at time. Perhaps a more basic configuration option could be available along with an advanced version.
I would like to be able to create a storefront on Ecwid beyond the free level without having to pay for it until we are ready to launch the site live. Right now if you want to add over 10 products you have to upgrade to a higher level, even if you are still developing the site and not having any visitors.

Usability

CS-Cart Multi-Vendor Marketplace Platform 8.4

Based on 7 answers

The software consists of most of all e-commerce related features. Also, there are plenty of third party addons are available in the market which can improve our business. There are a lot of powerful themes available in the cs cart market which improve the look and feel on the front store.If CS-cart adjusted the price on their software license cost, controlling the third party addon cost and provide more freelancers with cheaper hourly rate for the customization on the cs-cart multi vendor software, the cs-cart company can be a master among other e-commerce software companies in the world.

Easy for most of the features you'll be using on a daily basis. However more advanced features can take a while to find which can be a tad frustrating.

Ecwid was promoted via our appointed developer. It was not our first choice. The back end system works well and is easy to navigate and understand. Although we opted to use WooCommerce because of the flexibility it offers.

Ecwid allowed me to take down my antiquated site and use Wix, which was more economical and flexible for me
Ecwid's integration with Helpful Crowd was a simply and economical option to create product reviews. Very little work for me.
Have used some of the marketing integrations and not sure if they really work or help
