We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"Magento provides a strong backing, meaning it can handle the order processing, customer management, configuration, third party payment integration, and shipping matters. There is a standard, very well set up architecture already present in Magento that helps them set up their online shops with much precision. Clients can see their reports, their daily sales, their best selling products, and their best buying customers so that they can target them through mails or just follow up with them. These are the main default features which make Magento so attractive.""The platform provides an easy way to customize its features.""As compared to platforms such as ATG or Commerce Cloud, its interface is easy to use. Magento also provides seamless administration for business users. You can also integrate an OMS to an extent. You don't need to have a dedicated OMS. You can leverage the out-of-the-box features of Magento, which is very valuable for startups. Other platforms, such as Commerce Cloud, don't have an OMS, and you have to have your own OMS solution.""The ecosystem includes thousands of vendors who are providing third-party add-ons.""The most valuable feature in this solution I have found to be that I have the ability to find all the analytics that I need. It has very good integrations with social media platforms and other tools.""The customization capabilities of Adobe Commerce are great.""The most valuable feature of the solution is its ease of integration with any upfront platform or CMS solution.""The solution's valuable features are the presentation layout and ease of use. When we have new people joining the team, it is simple for them to get involved very quickly."

"The most valuable feature is the ability to pull information about the customer on-the-fly so they feel the interaction is more personal.""We can effortlessly manage the data within it, and it offers ease of use and high flexibility to present the data across various vendors.""It also reduces the duration per call, and it ensures a first time resolution of the issue.""One of the most valuable features of Pega CRM for our team's productivity is its ease of setup, thanks to its configuration-driven approach.""Pega offers a clear parent-child case relationship that's easily created and maintained. Dependencies can be configured, where reaching a specific stage in a parent case automatically triggers a child task in a child case, while the parent case remains on hold until a certain condition is met before moving forward. This configuration allows multiple users to work on cases in parallel. Many of these settings are readily available within Pega case settings. Overall, Pega's case management is unparalleled compared to other options.""The case management feature is really valuable.""Great flexibility and its locking mechanism enable multiple users to work on the same case seamlessly.""The solution is very easy to use."

Cons
"The solution’s performance could be improved.""Magento 2 is only three to four years old, so it is an evolving technology. In certain areas on the front there were some glitches. For example, you can't do certain kinds of filters on data and you have certain speed issues on category pages due to the way it was written within Magento. Those were a few minor tweaks where we, as a community, found that to be a necessary scope of improvement. But I think they are working on it and hopefully they can solve these issues earlier than later.""The hardware requirements of the tool should be made better, as it is a solution that is very heavy on the servers, and it makes it expensive to host many servers.""The data analysis could be improved. The data that you receive whenever you go into the backend of the platform for the analysis is very simple and basic, it could be a little more sophisticated in order to be closer to the client. The data analysis and intelligence of the platform could be better.""The analytics are good but there is room for improvement. There are some limitations due to new regulations causing customer data time delays.""Should have a way to communicate properly with the team that builds the platform""I'm not a technical person, but we had some kind of late response in page loading, let's say page load speed.""More technical knowledge is required to keep a Magento website running smoothly compared to many other platforms like OpenCart."

More Adobe Commerce Cons →

"They should enable the data-driven streaming feature inside it.""The disadvantage of the tool stems from the fact that it does not allow users to make database-level modifications.""It would be beneficial to enhance the pricing and support implementation options as they are currently quite expensive.""Price is always a concern for many organizations. They often think Pega is expensive, and sometimes they don't fully understand the pricing model.""The UI is lagging and needs to be improved.""For many of the clients, they have a separate system or separate layer of UI and a separate layer of the business rules engine, which Pega has taken care of in the recent releases.""There has been a common acknowledgment among customers that this solution is an expensive tool and they often opt for cheaper tools like Comodo""The solution has room for improvement around decisional and real-time data analysis."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "The cost of implementation is cheap compared to other solutions."
  • "Many implementations were open-source. We also had a couple of enterprise-level implementations, but I didn't have visibility on the licensing cost."
  • "This solution is cheaper than some of its competitors. However, the price depends on which country you are in. In some countries, such as Greece or some Southeastern European countries, the price for the client can be expensive."
  • "The price of the solution increased after Adobe acquired Magento. At this point, we know the price of Magento and SAP, and while they may have lower entry tickets, they are ultimately comparable."
  • "The product offers an open-source version, which is free. There are licensing options for Adobe Commerce's cloud version."

  • "The pricing is on the higher side."
