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.
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.
Allows functionality to experience management platforms like Adobe Marketing Cloud.Gives us a single view of your customers, and one place to manage your entire digital presence.
Promotion and personalization engine is simple and clean.
Cache framework is extensive with a 3 level approach at client side(CMS), core and cortex. - OpenJPA + EhCache.
Training documentation is good.
Cortex API architecture is well tiered and strong.
External feeds for catalog data load are available.
Logging frameworks available with Log4j
API can be exposed from the commerce engine as both SOAP and REST Based.
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.
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
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.
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.
As a system integrator here are my thoughts -- Elastic path is one of best ecommerce tools, which would fit any retailer/ telcos business needs. The software architecture is well thought through and it is built with open source tools, the Ecommerce application is easily extensible and it enables clients to get there E-commerce application in less time. We have evaluated other products like ATG ecommerce, WCS, Magento. Elastic path is definitely a briliant ecommerce product which I would recommend to any clients.
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!
