An eCommerce beast to tame
In our company, as system integrators, we often encounters customer with a Magento eCommerce. The best part of this software solution is that, since it's completely modular and we usually do not develop the entire website, we can still however work on our projects (usually integrations with third party systems or data import/export) by working on specific modules we can then deliver to our customers.

Magento is a good foundation for your e-commerce platform!
Magento provides an excellent framework for managing customers, products, categories, cart, orders and has a plethora of extensions to allow you to do almost anything you could think of - but without being beholden to a platform such as Shopify.

Review of Magento by Agency Owner
We are using Magento to build an e-commerce platform for our clients. It's used by the developers to develop and deploy the e-commerce system. It addresses the problem of security and scalability while setting up a live e-commerce store. Magento is one of the best platforms to build e-commerce solutions as it provides us a lot of freedom in designing the store and also enables us with a lot of integrations.

Going Big? Go Magento!
We use Magento Open Source to develop e-commerce online stores for our clients in different areas and sectors. As Magento has many features out of the box, it makes creating an online store that has the basic, common features easy. We also use Magento for e-commerce stores that require some custom development, as Magento's architecture makes it easier.

If speed is at your core, try Magento Open Source!
Magento open source was being used for the management of our e-commerce site. When you have thousands of products and need a platform that can handle changes quickly as well as perform quickly, then Magento is one of the best choices. I used Magento to run a store that had thousands of SKUs and we were very happy with the way that we were able to make mass changes and the speed of the platform. It is also a great platform solution for custom changes as it's open-source and there are plenty of developers that work on it. It is great at solving the issue of managing tons of products efficiently and being able to implement custom solutions for your store if needed.
Vitasalus, Inc. uses Magento 1.9.0.1 for the frontend sites of vitasalus.net and nu-gen.net. I've also done extensive work on a migration of the sites to Magento 2,3.2, not live yet, pending further adjustments, corrections and extensions necessary to the new platform. I've handled the html--formatting to responsive design.<br>The best thing about Open Source is that it's free. Also that it is very inclusive and powerful. But it does come with a cost: a very high degree of study, and, in my case, trial and error. I've often sometimes thought that this is the reason Magento experts can charge such exorbitant fees--the complexity can be beyond the reach of the overwhelming majority of companies' webmasters. (Even wonder if that's done on purpose, to create an upper tier of programmers...) <br>
Magento is our backbone. Our front-end website pulls product and catalog data from this tool. Our customer service team relies on this as a pseudo-CRM as all our customer data live on this platform. Our tool is also designed to work with our 3PL's backend service for seamless warehouse, inventory, and order management.
We use Magento Open Source in our public facing website. our website consists of 4 parts : window shopping of used trucks, window shopping of aggregates, B2B webshop for truck parts and a static part which desbribes our company and our fixed services.
the products are created automatically through our ERP system. So we have custom Magento code to import our products on the frontend.
Our website is availlable in 7 languages.

Great open source ecommerce platform
Magento Open Source powers our ecommerce site, shop.betaclub.org. It is the sole ecommerce platform at our organization. It allows us to sell merchandise items related to the National Beta Club. We can offer custom items through the platform. We can also do promotions, such as free shipping. The platform is very flexible and we have found lots of community support

Too expensive and too cumbersome to use.
Magneto Open Source is used as a platform for ecommerce business. It is used by the marketing, web, and inventory management departments. It helps us sell our products online and provides analytical insights to our sales. It allows for a lot of customizations for a growing business. Once we started selling to wholesale clients, we created a second version of the website for the purpose of having different products and prices for them.

Magento Matured.
We are currently in the process of migrating our main retail website over to the Magento 2 platform -- this would be the open source or community version. The primary business problem this addressed was the requirement to integrate with our current point of sale solution, NCR Counterpoint. As stated, we are currently using this platform for our retail website only, but we have plans to roll this out to our wholesale division as well in the near future.

Is Magento the Best eCommerce Platform? Opace Say Yes
Score 8 out of 10
Vetted Review
Verified User
Our agency Opace use Magento day-in-day-out for e-commerce clients, we also specialize in other open source platforms, including WordPress, WooCommerce and Joomla. However for e-commerce, especially larger stores with large inventories and/or an international presence, Magento is always our platform of choice and we find that customers are usually very happy with the solution. The one limitation, where a combination like WordPress and WooCommerce outperforms Magento, is ease-of-use and flexibility. Magento isn't the most straight forward of platforms to use or maintain, not without some level of technical knowledge. That said, Magento is very powerful and migrations to Magento 2 are becoming more straight forward. For more information on a study we've conducted and a comparison to other e-commerce platforms available, you can view our infographic here.

Magento Helps Us Achieve Our eCommerce Strategy
Our company uses the Magento eCommerce platform to sell retail bowling equipment to thousands of customers around the world. Magento is flexible to configure to our needs as we've implemented many different extensions from payment gateways, search engine optimization, upgraded search features, and more. What's nice is that we've been able to launch multiple stores using the same install and database. I would recommend this platform for companies that have a lot of products and need the flexibility to add a lot of categories and product attributes.

Magento Open Source is ideal for large e-commerce shops
Magento Open Source is my top selection for large/complex e-commerce websites. There is really no better open-source e-commerce solution that can scale for large shops or accommodate specialty customizations. I use Magento for my clients that need a platform that can scale with thousands of products or complex product configurations.

Apparently Open Source means lower publishing standards. Be prepare to hire a software developer.
Magento CE is our current eCommerce platform in a business which also has a B2B and Retail units. We conducted the upgrade from WooCommerce after experience of outages and problems which were limiting growth. Currently online customers use this platform for direct ordering, our marketing team does some design work, and customer service accesses the platform to find order-related information. We planned the development to allow for growth into a B2B ordering platform and potentially more.

Magento - the developer's choice in e-commerce platforms
We are a software company that builds e-commerce sites for companies. We mostly use Magento because it is very flexible and powerful and we are able to integrate it with any other 3rd party system as needed. Our sites are built for both B2B and B2C (direct sales) companies.

Scalable but expensive to customize
We used Magento as an eCommerce solution for our company. We sell lots of different products, so scalability was an issue and we were recommended to use Magento. We didn't use it as fulfillment, only for processing orders and everything else was done outside of it. We published products from an API outside the store too.

Our site would not exist without Magento Open Source
We currently use Magento Open Source to manage our ecommerce website. We have been using it for years and have had great success. Our website development team uses Magento Open Source. This includes our e-ops team, UX team and back-end developers. It allows us to manage all the products, shipping rates, taxes, multiple stores across multiple countries, SEO, categories, redirects, etc. It really takes care of most needs we have for our site.

The best platform for large-scale e-commerce but maybe not the best for hobbyist or startups.
We are a digital marketing company specializing in web design and SEO. Our company has been building Magento websites for years for our clients. For both large and small scale clients, Magento has been implemented to serve as an e-commerce platform has overall has been very successful. Since we primarily deal with small to medium-sized businesses who have no in-office IT department, we often find ourselves supporting the websites as well.
Magento has allowed us to build sophisticated and feature-rich stores for clients who are looking to sell their product online. It is easy to set up, easy to maintain and reasonably easy to navigate.

Magento Community Edition Review
We use Magento as our eCommerce platform across our 4 sites. It is mostly used by the eCommerce team directly, however, we have trained brick and mortar employees to use simple functions custom made specifically for them to help with order fulfillment.
