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.

For Spryker Systems, there is one major issue I see. There are no peer groups or developer channels where we can post our problems. If we go with Magento and other frameworks, there are many developers available there. You can search on Google, and there are multiple solutions available. You can see the solution, apply it, and then determine if you are able to solve your problem. This type of community resource is missing in Spryker Systems, so they need to do a lot of work on their side. Some user-friendly features are missing in Spryker Systems. Right now, in the present release, they did some things, but they need to do much more from a normal user's point of view. Currently, Spryker Systems is only focused on developer points of view, such as how a developer can extend the functionality or inject functionality into the system. However, if we talk about default features, there are no features. For example, there is nothing for reporting, and if we go with the configuration, only basic configuration is available. No high-level or low-level configuration exists. For example, if we want to showcase something on the cart checkout page, you cannot simply go into the configuration and enable or disable things. These types of features are missing. If Spryker Systems works on these parts, then it is a very cool platform from a user's standpoint.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It provides AI features, including a tool called Insight for AI-driven product recommendations."
"The most valuable feature of the solution is its ease of integration with any upfront platform or CMS solution."
"Magento is generally considered to be the most advanced e-commerce program available in the market."
"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."
"What I appreciate most about Adobe Commerce is the customizable element, as absolutely everything in Adobe Commerce is customizable."
"Magento is very user friendly due to its various functionalities like one page checkout, comparison between products and also gives liberty to users to share the reviews on purchased products."
"The platform provides an easy way to customize its features."
"If someone has a big product, then they can use Spryker Systems there, and if they do not want to lose customers' sessions or lose their customers, then Spryker Systems is a viable option."
"The platform's composability is valuable as it provides a variety of extensions to interface with other solutions."
"So far, as I could see, Spryker Systems is stable in my experience."
"Spryker Systems has had a positive impact on my company because we were able to generate a significant revenue increase in our e-commerce area."
"From an extensive point of view or for a large project point of view, Spryker Systems is the best platform right now."
"Spryker Systems is very useful as we can use it as a user interface and as an entire ERP or CRM system."
"Over the last six months, I have found that Spryker Systems' composable commerce and integration capabilities have helped me because Spryker also has the capability with Docker."
 

Cons

"It would be great to have a way to communicate properly with the team that builds the platform because you can get stuck at certain points, and it's hard to search for solutions on forums and tutorials."
"Magento 2 is only three to four years old, so it is an evolving technology."
"The performance is a bottleneck in Magento and there is a lot of room for improvement in this regard."
"Elasticsearch has really been a pain; it takes a toll on the performance, and starting with version 2.4, Magento requires Elasticsearch, which has been causing a lot of serious performance issues."
"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."
"At the moment, Magento is stuck in the middle of a nobody-wants-me market."
"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."
"For Spryker Systems, there is one major issue I see. There are no peer groups or developer channels where we can post our problems."
"In Spryker Systems, the main issue is that connectivity is too difficult. If I want to make a small change, I have to pass code through three layers: Zed, Yves, and middleware."
"Spryker, even with its native features, often requires some development and configuration into the code, which is not straightforward in the beginning."
"Spryker Systems could be improved if we can reduce the complexity level."
"In my opinion, there are no best features on Spryker Systems. It is a very complex system that uses hexagonal architecture and is very complicated."
"Spryker Systems is a good company with good customer support. However, there are also problems and setbacks from time to time."
"When we build a Spryker Systems application in our local environment, it is really painful as it takes a long time, and the build requires a high-configuration system to become executable in our local environment."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

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