Adobe Commerce vs Elastic Path comparison

"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."

"What I appreciate most about Adobe Commerce is the customizable element, as absolutely everything in Adobe Commerce is customizable."

"Magento is very flexible, and it's one of the biggest e-commerce platforms."

"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."

"I think it is adequate because Adobe Commerce has many software options; with Adobe-related software, I can purchase every software from here and I can use it, so I think it is perfect for using software."

"The product can be maintained effortlessly."

"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."

"It is a scalable solution."

"There are always speed issues with Adobe Commerce. It seems to be an ongoing issue with performance."

"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."

"The solution takes a huge amount of time to complete the root cause analysis."

"The performance is a bottleneck in Magento and there is a lot of room for improvement in this regard."

"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."

"I am still playing around and trying to catch up with the latest version to understand all the features, but I do feel that its CMS can be much more streamlined. They provide a what-you-see-is-what-you-get editor, which many customers prefer, but based on the implementations that I have done for more than seven years, I have seen that many times, it is run by the marketing team, and they don't find it very comfortable to use. They feel uncomfortable managing and changing the content. As a business user, you need to have at least basic knowledge of HTML, which you cannot expect from all marketing teams. Some companies or organizations have that competency, but many organizations, especially in the Middle East, have a very small team, so it becomes quite difficult for them. This is a common challenge that I have seen across the platforms. Magento is better and easier than Oracle Commerce Cloud, but Shopify is much easier than Magento. A layman or my 10-year-old kid can go ahead and set up a store in Shopify in probably 45 minutes, which is not the case with Magento. Elasticsearch has really been a pain. It takes a toll on the performance. Starting with version 2.4, Magento requires Elasticsearch, which has been causing a lot of serious performance issues. We had a client in the US who was running a promo, and they lost a subsequent number of orders over one and a half hours. They were on the enterprise platform, not open-source. The team had to open a ticket with Magento. Its performance needs to be upgraded, or some kind of guidelines have to be provided for the setup. It looks like even Magento has no clue. When you go through the answers given in the online community, it seems that in spite of having the hardware configurations that they suggest, it is not performing at the optimal level. It should also have a better way to measure performance. Performance measuring has to be much easier. Many times, we see CPU utilization going up and down. We see spikes without any reason. Therefore, we need a better performance management system."

"I'm not a technical person, but we had some kind of late response in page loading, let's say page load speed."

"The analytics are good but there is room for improvement. There are some limitations due to new regulations causing customer data time delays."

"They should provide integration with social networking sites."

"We transitioned from the platform's commercial license to the open-source version, which helped optimize costs without affecting our sales."

"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 cost of implementation is cheap compared to other solutions."

"The product offers an open-source version, which is free. There are licensing options for Adobe Commerce's cloud version."

"The solution's price is reasonable."
