Magento Open Source

What do you like best?

I like Magento because it is based on PHP, and it has its JavaScript architecture, which includes knockout JS, requireJS, jQuery, and a lot more. I like the way we can create modules to extend or give new functionality to Magento. I also like the Magento training section where Magento has provided courses in frontend development, backend development and for merchandizers as well as solution specialists. I like the Magento's one page checkout which is a single page application built on knockout javascript library and it is also not very difficult to work on it's customization. Magento has a very big community of users so it is also very good in terms of pull request review and ask for any coding help and support.

What do you dislike?

There are only a few small things that I don't like, but that's not a big deal, so I wouldn't mention it here because those are something you can easily ignore without any issue. I also don't like some of the courses which Magento provide because of their complexity and difficulty to understand what it is trying to explain.

Recommendations to others considering the product:

If you are looking to have the complete power of customizing an online store, then you have come to the right place. Magento is very flexible, reliable in terms of extensive development.

What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?

The primary benefit is to have unlimited power of extending the e-commerce store functionality. I am solving most of the common issue of e-commerce merchants who faces in order management. Using Magento's order management, our client has found very easy way to manage their orders.
