Use Cases and Deployment Scope

I have used Magento on behalf of my clients to solve their e-commerce business needs - including selling, stock management, and communications. We use Magento as a build and CMS platform and train our clients to use it to manage their products and their shop front - I have used it with a range of clients across various industries and sizes of businesses and found it very scalable.

Pros and Cons

Return on Investment

Management of customer journey workflows

Alternatives Considered

Umbraco CMS, WooCommerce and Episerver Digital Commerce

Magento is probably my least favourite eccom and CMS tool as the design and integration options are the most limited, however, the ease of setup, and the availability of support and resources has meant I have used it many times. Additionally, the themes available have meant significant savings in timeframes and budgets for launch

Other Software Used

HubSpot, WordPress, WooCommerce

Likelihood to Recommend

Magento is well suited to businesses that want fast and adaptable e-commerce solutions - it is especially useful for smaller businesses where users manage a lot of their services in one space - CRM data, product data, stock information and logistics etc. However, it is less appropriate for businesses that need bespoke solutions and complex integrations.
