Overall Satisfaction with Magento Community Edition

We use Magento Community Edition as our solution for e-commerce retailing.
  • Compared to other solutions, Magento has far more control over exact nuances of e-commerce such as discounting, customer segmentation, and multi-site control.
  • Magento as a whole is reliable and can be made very fast thanks to built-in fullpage caching on Magento 2.
  • Magento is scalable and can handle huge traffic, or it can be built for a small site.
  • Small bugs and issues affecting performance could be handled more quickly, but the rate of bug fixes and improvements is much better now than it used to be!
  • The built-in image lightbox uses an extension that is no longer supported. This could be improved.
  • Extensions from "certified developers" are often buggy or extremely unreliable. A better certification process for third-party extensions could save a lot of time and stress for users.
  • We have been able to succeed in e-commerce with Magento.
  • We have been able to implement many custom features requested by customers through the flexibility of Magento.
I have worked with Shopify, osCommerce, and WooCommerce.
Magento is well-suited for any full-fledged retail store. I would recommend a simpler solution for anyone seeking an e-commerce presence for just a few products (Shopify, etc).
