Overall Satisfaction with Magento Open Source
We use Magento Open Source in our public facing website. our website consists of 4 parts : window shopping of used trucks, window shopping of aggregates, B2B webshop for truck parts and a static part which desbribes our company and our fixed services.
the products are created automatically through our ERP system. So we have custom Magento code to import our products on the frontend.
Our website is availlable in 7 languages.

- out of the box webshop
- api to allow for product inserts via code
- lots of plugins
- the content management is on pare with eg. WordPress
- plugins are not always of a good quality.
- major upgrades are not always plug and play.
- no upfront licensing costs
- most of the framework was in place
- skilled developers are hard to find (but that counts for every tecnology)
the shopping extentions for WordPress (whoocommerce) didn't seem to be the best fit. Drupal was too complex to start with.
We found a good partner that had experience with Magento development and we felt that they + Magento Open Source were a good fit for our needs.
especially the link with the ERP products was hard to do in the other products (since the ERP is a very closed niche system.)
