Magento Description:
clear
Magento is a new professional open-source eCommerce solution offering unprecedented flexibility and control. Magento was designed with the notion that each eCommerce implementation has to be unique since no two businesses are alike. Magento's modular architecture puts the control back in the hands of the online merchant and places no constraints on business processes and flow

We use Magento 1.3 since 9 months and its a nightmare:
- paid around 9000 $ for no real support, just advices,
- It's damn complicated "Eh Varien - it's PHP / Magento should be light!",
- It has a really stupid and too deep templating system,
- have a magento EAV database model: unusable!
(i ve never seen that bullshit DB model),
- When you will have done your 30 templates, your 15 modules then you won't be able to do any Magento updates safety,
- Magento will not works with PHP 5.3 nor PHP 6 before a long time,
- For all theses bad idears / misconception, Magento is slow:
- Slow showing web pages (backoffice too)
- Slow imports / exports
and you will need a very expensive hosting
with hot new CPUs and 15K HDs!

"Magento E-Commerce for Growth" ... what a joke:-( !

Magento is a nightmare. It is about the most un-intuitive application I have ever used. Complex? Yes. Buggy? Yes. Slow? Oh yes, very slow. Works on a shared server? Good luck. Poor documentation? Yes, very poor.

Magento sucks in its current development state. Support Forum is virtually useless.

Better you look elsewhere. magento is NOT ready for prime time.

Buggy. Slow. Resource Hungry. Poor support.

Need I go on ... stick with the osC branches ... osCMax, PrestaShop, ZenCart, etc.

My preference is osCMax.com - truely open source and remains close to original code to allow easy additional mods to be installed.

DON'T USE MAGENTO!

The worst cart out there. It looks nice but is unusable!

I have lost 1000's paying for tis cart to bhe customised and its just one bug after another. there is no supoport from the makers whats so ever.

Magento has tonnes of functionality built in and although it can be buggy it is still young in comparison to other open source e-commerce platforms. Great for SEO and looks good too. Admittedly if you have a large catalog it is slow...but big changes are happening.

Magento 1.4-alpha

I am definitely going to upgrade to 1.4 when it is a full release!

This is very hard to use and is confusing
the community support is even worse
there is no help offered unless u can pay hundreds of dollars.
Its free but its not open sources in the sense

Also the software is really buggy

I changed from Magento to PrestaShop

I work for a web dev company who are trying to slip away from Zen Cart. We found magento, played about with the demo and were quite impressed. Plenty of functionality and almost everything we'd never dream would be in Zen Cart..

...That was until we installed it ourselves. The initial process worked great, but everything else was taking way too long to do. We even tried populating the site using the csv import - 1 product every 10 seconds. No chance.

As a company who provide solutions for many businesses, we discovered that this would not be a good idea on a shared server - our opinion would be backed up by various other opinions online.

Sorry Magento.. once you speed yourself up, we'll consider you - for now though, no way.

As others have said, it is not the fastest system and there are several bugs, which takes the Magento team more time than others to fix. But that are all the negative things I can come up with. The system allows you to fully customize it, use of coupons, send delivery to multiple adresses, cross-products, and more futuristic features. It is worth the time and blodd/sweat/tears to get it working. I'm hooked! www.thefantasyshop.nl

I setup a magento based site and got it working. Everything except the mailing list, which they still had not fixed about 4 months ago. It is indeed slow, both front and back end. It does have a variety of features, which is nice and I can see they are try to do it all. The folder structure thing for editing is indeed weird and very annoying, but it can be overcome, and I was flying through it by the end of the project. It works, and has potential, but be prepared for challenges and be experienced.

As many other people said, this cms is unnecessarily complex.
I had installed it and tried before. The first time I installed but failed because
some php extensions were missing. Later I added the php extensions then it worked.
However, when I tried to explore, it was terribly user un-friendly and complicated.
I had investigated carefully about the directory structure and found that it was probably
intended to make it complex. There same file names and same sub-sub...directory name
distributed and duplicated everywhere, so this should probably intended to create the complexity.
Not only I mention this, and there also many other specialists advice to stay away this one.
Of course, the official web site offers charged service to help you to avoid the nightmare
because they're willing to help you to customize, setup, configure everything if you'll pay.
In addition, I don't understand why sourceforge gave a community award to this cms, that
make me never trust sourceforge community award anymore.
I would rather recommend zen-cart, oscmax, and prestashop.

Hi -

I just installed 1.3.2.3 now (August 2009). This was my second attempt installing - my first attempt back in February 2009 didn't work because I couldn't get the cURL and pdo extensions for PHP to work... and my questions on the Magento forum regarding this were totally ignored.

Anyways... I now have 1.3.2.3 running - and it looks very pretty. HOWEVER there's a major bug I already found: in the Product List, "Sort By Price" doesn't work.

I've googled this bug, and it's been around since February 2009, with various people discussing it on forums both on and off Magento.

This is a VERY major bug, which has been around for about six months now, and the Magento people haven't fixed it.

This product LOOKS nice, but obviously it has lots of bugs and very bad support. So I must reluctantly decide not to use it.

Slow, hard to use, no support.

I believe the developers are driving sales and support revenue by making this package just interesting enough to get you hooked, but not providing enough support to get it working correctly.

Expensive.

I'm stuck with one (1) install to administer and I won't do it again.
