Overall Satisfaction with Magento
From the outset, I would like to say that Magento has always been my initial choice for any product that we developed for ourselves or for any third party. Although we could not use it for developing one of our last projects The Movie Korner, we could not do without the flexibility and affordability provided by Magento for our current project www.themerchantice.com . We are currently using it only for the webfront and most of our other departments are outsourced. One thing that truly compels us to adopt it is that most of the third party solutions that we use have plugins compatible mostly with Magento. None of the other platforms, we have learned from our extensive research, provide this kind of adaptability.
Pros
- Total Control when it comes to development.
- Most of the products that come up, do make an effort to provide necessary API's for Magento
- The dashboard is an absolute dream to work with.
Cons
- A lot of generic problems could be bundled by Magento and implemented. Choose by Image in the custom option for instance
- Bulk upload is a major issue. Magmi does a wonderful job. Something like Magmi integrated with Magento could be a powerful add-on.
- Search could be improved a lot.
- Well, it would have helped if we had more control over cart abandonment.
- Bulk Upload issues hamper catalog building a lot.
- It helps to have a lot of marketing tools that are available in the Magento Store
- All in all, it has been pretty positive although it could get a lot better.
We did evaluate WooCommerce and Wordpress against Magento and I am listing some major plus points that Magento carries over others :
- The extent to which Magento can be customised is way beyond the others.
- The number of Plugins that are available for Magento is a lot more than others.
- Magmi which I used for Magento bulk upload is only available for this.
- The extent to which Magento can be customised is way beyond the others.
- The number of Plugins that are available for Magento is a lot more than others.
- Magmi which I used for Magento bulk upload is only available for this.
