Frosmo vs. Magento Open Source

It was SO easy getting started. The fact that I was led through a step-by-step process when first joining was a GAME CHANGER. I have found it pretty easy to use for editing or creating email campaigns. It's good value for your buck!

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.

• Magento is perfect if our web design client likes a specific pre-made template and wants a fast solution.
• Magento allows us to customize its open-source code to create additional features and functionality.
• Magento saves small businesses time and money if they only need a simple solution.

• Not the simplest of solutions to use or maintain from an end-user perspective
• 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.

Frosmo's customer support team has been outstanding in resolving issues and offering timely assistance to all of our queries. They hardly miss service deadlines and are accommodating of our requests. However, scheduling for an on-site training or a similar activity is cumbersome and often requires multiple rescheduling.

Frosmo is quite uncomplicated and simple to operate compared to the above mentioned products. Not only does it offer online training to integrate their programs into our work setting, but also provides timely customer support. Other programs are more susceptible to information hacks and are less secure to operate than Frosmo

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.
