Adobe Commerce vs. Distro

Primarily B2C focused, I think that the B2B features are increasing but the core focus of the platform (and Magento) is really consumer-based. That said, if you are looking for the fastest time to market with minimal investment option then Adobe Commerce is likely not the option that 9 out of 10 people would opt for nowadays.

The technical service was impeccable. They were on point and were very knowledgeable.

Great value for an flexible, open source platform.

Magento Commerce was previously put into place and used right when I came onboard. We used it for quite some time, but ultimately the need for our company's specific customizations became too difficult to manage during core updates. We specifically needed a more specialized way of calculating shipping, connecting with our 3PL's inventory API, managing specialized discounts and codes, and even the way we showcased information on the product pages.
