Overall Satisfaction with Magento
We use (build manage and maintain) Magento websites for a range of industries and uses from B2C to B2B use cases, with clients ranging from small to enterprise level.
- With Enterprise the page caching and speed is much better.
- Plentiful e-commerce functionality of of the box. Being and e-comm platform it really covers all the standard use cases well.
- The use of content blocks and includes in the content areas makes it easy to create global assets and modules.
- The ability to create a page builder UI for marketing pages is non existent and for non technical users it is impossible.
- The need for blogging/news and events is common and any/all modules for this type of content really cant compete with other platforms and usually require the installation of another platform to manage this content.
- Generally it impacts each of our customers differently but if the technical strategy is well informed it is always a good ROI.
Magento is a more enterprise level solution. It is viable for smaller businesses, however requires a higher upfront investment while others have lower upfront but more maintenance.
