Customization supports complex needs, though speed challenges persist
We don't use the reporting tools from Adobe Commerce as we have our own reporting infrastructure. Adobe Commerce can be complex in terms of ease of use, as it's such a large platform. From the development side, you can customize everything, but that does require substantial resources. When working on Adobe Commerce, I would want Adobe Commerce specialist developers. Although it's all built in PHP, and there are many PHP developers, I would want Adobe Commerce specialist developers working on it because they have knowledge about what to customize and more importantly, what's best not to touch. There are always site speed issues with Adobe Commerce. It seems to be an ongoing issue with performance. When comparing it to Shopify, you don't tend to need to worry about that, but with Adobe Commerce, it remains an ongoing issue. Additionally, there are all the upgrades, which can be quite painful, including the regular patches, both on the open-source and licensed version, on-premises. The initial setup for migrating to Adobe Commerce from another e-commerce platform is not straightforward; it's a very big job. The pricing for Adobe Commerce varies dramatically. Quite often, you see their list prices and then you are able to negotiate very hefty discounts. My understanding is that they're moving away from heavily discounting. Although our license where I am at the moment is heavily discounted, I'm hearing that they're trying to move away from that practice.

Offers a huge coverage of features that are needed for marketplace businesses
Spryker, even with its native features, often requires some development and configuration into the code, which is not straightforward in the beginning. The framework approach assumes you might not need to develop. In reality, native features sometimes need development. An improvement could be in reducing the amount of initial development work required even when native features are used.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"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."
"On the plus side, when you build everything from scratch in Magento, you can do magic with it."
"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 platform allows us to easily integrate with service vendors, such as delivery services and payment systems."
"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."
"We have the ability to resolve service issues since Magento enables us to invest more time in dealing with custom requirements."
"The ecosystem includes thousands of vendors who are providing third-party add-ons."
"The platform's composability is valuable as it provides a variety of extensions to interface with other solutions."
 

Cons

"Magneto is monolithic in character, making it difficult for us to scale up very high quickly on the content side."
"Should have a way to communicate properly with the team that builds the platform"
"The industry has evolved, and the main focus is composable solutions because of which now SAP and Magento are forced to tackle various aspects of commerce, including commerce tools and pricing strategies, among other things."
"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."
"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 product needs to improve its security. Also, they need to improve B2B features."
"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."
"More technical knowledge is required to keep a Magento website running smoothly compared to many other platforms like OpenCart."
"Spryker, even with its native features, often requires some development and configuration into the code, which is not straightforward in the beginning."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We transitioned from the platform's commercial license to the open-source version, which helped optimize costs without affecting our sales."
"The cost of implementation is cheap compared to other solutions."
"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 product offers an open-source version, which is free. There are licensing options for Adobe Commerce's cloud version."
"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."
"Many implementations were open-source. We also had a couple of enterprise-level implementations, but I didn't have visibility on the licensing cost."
