Feedvisor360 vs. Magento Open Source

If you're the type of person/business that allows systems and processes to run things while you help your business scale, then Feedvisor is the perfect solution for you. It isn't cheap, but it's easy-to-use and extremely effective. The best part is, they devote their resources and expertise to tailor themselves to your business as effectively as possible.

It's well suited for large eCommerce stores as it requires much effort to set up and the development cost for setting it up is high. It's less appropriate to use Magento where you are looking for quick development and launch of the store. Also, it is required to have a developer or sometimes the entire tech team to manage an e-commerce store, so you may need to hire a few PHP developers.

• There's always room for improvement even in a great company... It would be great if we can have our system fully integrated with Feedvisor. For example, repricing Refurbished & Used conditions in addition to New.
• Dashboards that tailor a bit more to your needs.
• We would love to have the ability to 'Reprice' multiple products in 1 shot (without needing to import a file).
• We would also love to be able to somehow have the actual shipping cost on the product based on previous shipments (pulled from Amazon's API) to tell us what the average shipping rate is for the product.
• Suggestions that Seller Central give us to be given to us by Feedvisor - so that we're doing everything in 1 place.

• Other platforms are better with regards to SEO in our experience
• Fairly sluggish and slow compared to other platforms without the correct server specification and performance optimization work.

It's the dominant force in the SMB open source market. With the continued support of eBay/PayPal, Magento will continue to evolve and should be a market leader for some time.

In looking at a different platform to migrate to from Magento 1, we looked primarily at Big Commerce, Shopify and Shopify Plus. Our host was very negative about Magento 2, but we determined after a couple years it was due to the fact it had even more complexity (and very different) than Magento 1. Shopify Plus was attractive, but the cost factor for two sites led us back to Magento 2.
