Review of Magento: Open Source Powerhouse

1
Comment(s)


Practical eCommerce author Armando Roggio posted a review of Magento’s eCommerce platform last month.  The video critique is below.  Here are a few summary points:

A few very cool Magento features:

  • Add-to-compare
  • Faceted navigation discovery
  • Zoom feature
  • Multiple product image support (again with zoom capability)

Magento is not for everyone.  It requires a working knowledge of the following to use effectively:

  • Apache web server
  • SOAP
  • PHP
  • XML
  • SQL
  • XHTML
  • CSS

The bottom line is that although Magento is open source, it acts and looks like the best of commercial systems…

Check out Armando’s review and drop us a note at Elias.  We can help you with technical aspects of  a Magento install, Magento modifiy, Magento module, and Magento customization.

Armando is dead on! I especially appreciate his comment about how Magento is really meant for developers. That’s a very important fact that is overlooked by many people. The misconception is that since Magento is free to download by anyone, that anyone can install, customize and manage Magento. In reality, the complexity behind the scenes that make it such a great solution also requires the knowledge of an expert. I’m thankful we can be the experts to those who require the best open source cart available.
