Overall Satisfaction with Magento Open Source
Our company uses the Magento eCommerce platform to sell retail bowling equipment to thousands of customers around the world. Magento is flexible to configure to our needs as we've implemented many different extensions from payment gateways, search engine optimization, upgraded search features, and more. What's nice is that we've been able to launch multiple stores using the same install and database. I would recommend this platform for companies that have a lot of products and need the flexibility to add a lot of categories and product attributes.
Pros
- Ability to create unlimited attributes and attribute sets to describe products
- Ability to launch multiple stores with one install
- Tons of extensions available to integrate and optimize an eCommerce store
Cons
- Resource intensive, recommended that you host this on a dedicated server
- Updating site layout is not intuitive, developers may be needed at an additional expense
- Extensions can be costly, and typically developers are needed to install
- Magento has definitely had a positive ROI on our business helping us gain market share acquiring thousands of new customers
When compared to WooCommerce, we used Magento as we're able to have more control over our product listings, category listings, and shipping options.
