Overall Satisfaction with Magento Open Source
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.
- Scalability is excellent, Magento Open Source can handle hundreds, thousands, ten thousands of products.
- Inventory management is excellent.
- Excellent set of core features and extensions to expand and extend it are exhaustive.
- The community behind Magento is top-notch.
- Magento can be difficult to learn for a non-technical person, and requires an experienced developer to set it up properly.
- To really get the most of out Magento, you must run it on on a dedicated server with extensive server customizations.
- Not really geared for small shops - I don't recommend it for little e-commerce websites.
- Magento makes scaling for large e-commerce websites easy, saving time and money when its time to grow large shops.
- Magento has a strong core system which is easily extendable with an experienced developer.
- Magento has an excellent community behind it that makes finding answers easy.
Magento is excellent for large shops, with large quantities of products and makes scaling as the shop grows easy and quick. But it does truly require a dedicated server and an experienced developer to get things up and going.
I prefer WooCommerce for smaller shops as its quick and easy to get setup and running with minimal fuss and will run well on a shared hosting.
