Find out in this report how the two eCommerce Platforms solutions compare in terms of features, pricing, service and support, easy of deployment, and ROI.
"Magento has changed over the years, but one of the most interesting aspects is that it gets the job done, and a vast community of experts is knowledgeable about the solution."
"The open-source PHP code allows our developers to customize pretty much anything on the platform, including allowing us to add some of the most complex shipping and inventory features for clients who have very specific, industry-related business specifications."
"The ecosystem includes thousands of vendors who are providing third-party add-ons."
"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."
"Magento is very flexible, and it's one of the biggest e-commerce platforms."
"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."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its ease of integration with any upfront platform or CMS solution."
"The product has a few free-to-use features. It is easy to navigate and has good visuals as well."
"Shopify can be used without any coding knowledge."
"Shopify provides an easy to use service at the backend that includes product upload, customer service, team settings, and team customization."
"The solution is highly customizable for our store’s e-commerce needs. We don't need to write any code as all the required features are already inbuilt. The front end can be easily customized. Moreover, this tool offers built-in integrations with payment gateway, messaging services like SMS and email, and logistics integration."
"It has a brilliant inventory system to help you manage your store."
"For the initial setup phase, many online tutorials are available, making the process easy."
"The most valuable feature is its strong SEO capabilities."
"The product needs to improve its security. Also, they need to improve B2B features."
"I'm not a technical person, but we had some kind of late response in page loading, let's say page load speed."
"Should have a way to communicate properly with the team that builds the platform"
"The solution’s performance could be improved."
"One significant drawback of Commerce is its substantial size, which allows for extensive customization but also elongates the development process for an e-commerce website."
"More technical knowledge is required to keep a Magento website running smoothly compared to many other platforms like OpenCart."
"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 performance is a bottleneck in Magento and there is a lot of room for improvement in this regard."
"If you consider an enterprise-level application with a lot of customization, Shopify can be problematic to use."
"There are some areas where improvements could be made. Currently, the platform only supports three product variants, and having the option for more variants would be beneficial. Additionally, we have to rely on external plugins for reviews and ratings, which could be more convenient if they were built-in."
"It could benefit from improving its user-friendliness for non-coders, perhaps by offering easier template-building options."
"The order processing and saving of the changes for the product should have automatic functioning."
"I have many clients that want to sell their products to the wholesale market, and Shopify currently does not have that kind of feature."
"Many of our clients complain because it's costly and not an open-source."
"I would like to see a feature that allows us to access all of the platforms in Shopify, like Facebook and Instagram messages, so we can easily reply to connect to our customers."
