User Testimonials
	Adobe Commerce	WooCommerce
Likelihood to Recommend	We need to do a lot of quotes, and sometimes customers call and want to pay. Adobe Commerce (Magento) did not let you keep saved quotes, so you had to put people on hold whilst you started making the order from scratch rather than just taking payment, which was very annoying. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	WooCommerce is best suited to customers whose website is built on the WordPress platform, and whose development team has a good understanding of plug-in implementation. If your website is not built on WordPress, but on Laravel or React (or any other non WordPress technology), then WooCommerce is not for you. WooCommerce is also great for customers who just need a simple online shopping experience. If your needs involve more complex or immersive features such as timed discounts, pick up locations, delivery reminders, or post shopping feedback surveys, know that you will need to purchase additional add-ons to make to get these features using WooCommerce set up on WordPress.

Pros	Magento Commerce Cloud allows us to develop our own custom solutions for problems that we need solved. Magento Commerce Cloud can also be integrated with many of the third part vendors that we use. This has made many implementations go very smoothly and tends to be much quicker than developing our own custom solution. There are many features available right out of the box. Many of them we have not implemented yet, but it is great to have them available to us when we are ready. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Free base package means I can use it when I need to and not pay for it when I'm not using it I can customize the e-commerce options and integrate the calendar booking Payment processing is quick and easy and I can choose my provider Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Cons	The Magento admin is not as user-friendly has other e-commerce platforms, and this is why I never recommend it for smaller ecommerce stores. You absolutely need a skilled developer to customize and extend Magento. A skilled developer can make Magento amazing, but if you're looking for a DIY website option, Magento will frustrate you. Magento takes a lot of server resources, so you will not be able to run on it a shared hosting account. You will need a dedicated server for it. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	Does not provide everything out of the box, for certain features you will have to install additional plugins. Their own addon plugins are costly. The Order table uses wp posts meta table, For those who have good amount of orders coming in, the table will keep getting larger by time that it might hog the server. Incentivized Kaushik Somaiya Owner Read full review
Likelihood to Renew	Magento is well-supported by a big development team at eBay, which not only addresses bug reports very quickly, but also is constantly working on improvements to the platform. The wealth of Magento third party modules ensures that the platform will be up to date with future changes to Payment or ERP systems. Security is always a concern and with the Zend framework as a foundation, Magento has had very few security-related patches since I have started to work with it Christian Kern Magento Software Engineer / Solution Architect Read full review	Despite very rare glitches, more connected to an excessive number of plugins, that affect the speed of the site, we are extremely satisfied with the platform, the ability to import and export products, even though we just export them, as we have our proprietary system for updating inventories. We love the ease of upgrading, enhancing, innovating, and the freedom we have to do whatever we want, which is a plus, when you consider Shopify can take down your whole store as they please, if they think you aren't abiding to their TOS or their ever changing set of rules. Incentivized Rick Fitzgerald Owner/CEO Read full review
Usability	As an experienced user of Adobe Commerce platform, i found the platform complex for beginners yet very flexible to customize as per the client requirements be it a integration with third party system, implementing any payment gateway, managing multiple stores or customising the Adobe Commerce default functionalities, we did not experience issue with it. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	WooCommerce is highly customizable, feature rich, matured, ever evolving, and regularly updated plugin for WordPress. Since it is already extremely popular, you can find online tutorials to help you get started. Even if you face a problem, you can quickly get a solution from a helpful online community. You can use most of the popular payment gateways with WooCommerce. Besides that you have a full control over your website/shop.

Alternatives Considered	Open source nature of Magento was a key consideration, particularly when launching in new markets. Cost is another key factor here and the GMV model is an important enabler for us as we continue to grow. Adobe Commerce is highly extensible and advanced customization and flexibility built in meaning that we can shape the product into exactly what we require. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review	WooCommerce is cheaper and more customizable, making it easy to create a great-looking product and a polished purchasing and checkout experience. Our BigCommerce site required significant custom coding to get the desired functionality. That said, BigCommerce has been a very stable and reliable experience, whereas our WooCommerce site has had some security and reliability issues. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	When we first went LIVE with Adobe Commerce our SEO / Organic traffic plummeted and so did our conversion so our initial take of Adobe Commerce wasn't great. This was partly to do with business decisions but also to do with out of box functionality not being as expected. Fast forward and we basically did a redesign on the platform and partnered with a fantastic SEO partner and improved results and now are doing extremely well on the Magento platform. Much improved! Incentivized AM Angela Maynard Director eCommerce Read full review	Being so easy to implement, I can design client websites and get their e-commerce store up and running easily. Because I turn over control of site management to my client after design is finished, WooCommerce is easy for them to learn and manage themselves. The customization options have allowed me to find solutions for most every business need. Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
