Chose EvolutionX
I have experience on Infor Storefront, EvolutionX is heads and tails above them!

Storefront does not allow for much customization to be done internally and is very vanilla out of the box program. Requires searching tools which EvolutionX has.

Likelihood to Recommend
EvolutionX is great at getting a large catalog online in a hurry. Though the editing may take some time, the pull is a great feature to get you started. EvolutionX will give you the most professional looking site right out of the gate vs the competitors we have viewed. The person assigned to your account is a nice benefit and are very helpful and efficient this is an even bigger plus for those with no coding experience. EvolutionX may not be the best option for a small business, though the website may make you look like the big dogs it doesn't function as well yet. The cost of the service is high compared to what the customer gets from it after the initial set up and is the main reason why this isnt the best solution for a small business. It would be nice to see the price to be able to scale down or up in price with how well the site is doing after a set amount of time.

If you're looking for a small or medium size eCommerce portal, nopCommerce is the best framework. 1. Cost = open sourced framework. You will just simply bypass the application design and development process, but you will have to code to do whatever you want to do for your business needs. It will save you a lot of time and money. 2. Technical Architecture = It was created with the best application design and architecture. If you are not into eCommerce, but want to understand EntityFrame code first and domain architecture, Dependency Injection,..etc, nopCommerce is the one. 3. I'm sure your business users will ask for the features that are already included with nopCommerce.

Cons
  • On the backend, it would be nice to be able to COPY a similar sku to edit and make its own - creating items takes too long
  • The option for drop downs for different colors / sizes / etc. could be nice
  • The ability to export pricing where you can see the cost too would be nice
Read full review
  • More community templates would be great.
  • Some of the pricing can be a bit tricky, especially configured items... there is a likelihood of mispriced items with the current structure

Usability
EvoX is a very user friendly platform, both for admin and customers. On the admin side, there are lots of KBs and videos to watch to learn more on the site and features of it. On the customer side, the features provided make it very easy for our customers. Quicklists are a feature we push to customers to make their ordering experience as easy as possible. B2B has a priority to make ordering as easy as possible, our customers are busy and need to place their orders quickly. If the customer cannot do that with your company, they will find one that does do that for them

I have asked numerous questions and the team treats my random questions as if they are critical to the continued success of their product. They really take each users' questions to heart and strive to solve them. I cannot commend them enough on how fast they respond to questions as well as the follow-through given to things thay may or may not even be a part of their platform.

Go for a plugin based development if you would like to extend nopCommerce. This approach will make it easier for you to upgrade the software.

nopCommerce gives us the flexibility to create solutions for our customers that can grow as their business grows. You'll never feel boxed in. The core nopCommerce solution comes with a solid selection of shipping and payment providers, and has a marketplace for a host of others. Best of all, if you have an existing relationship with a payment gateway that you like, but doesn't have an existing plugin available, we can easily build it for you. Custom CRM & ERP integrations are one of the key capabilities of this platform.
