We use Magento as a tool to reach our direct customers. We are able to integrate it with XIP and SAP. With Magento we are able to be more flexible.
Pros
User friendly interface. Very easy to start using Magento right out of the box.
Lots of useful free and paid extensions. Lots of free themes to differentiate your business.
Scalability. Magento can be used for a store of 10 products and 10,000 products.
Cons
Re-indexing can use some improvement. It still take a long time.
Some features such as one page checkout, no PO box shipping, or ability to edit a cart in admin view without creating a duplicate order should be standard by now.
Better fraud detection features would make it even stronger.
Likelihood to Recommend
Great for a business that cannot afford a team to support their eCommerce initiative. Magento can be supported by a single person. Make sure to check the requirements to be able to run the application. And if you are not running your own servers, make sure to selecting a hosting platform that is well suited to run Magento.

We currently use Magento Enterprise for three B2B ecommerce websites. The websites are managed by our ecommerce marketing department, and are updated and maintained by two in-house developers. We choose Magento because it offered an open source solution that could be customized to some unique business needs. We also liked the fact that is had a large user base, which means that there is a lot of resources available for users.
Pros
Open source allows for complete flexibility & customization
Large library of extensions provide an easy & inexpensive way to "plug & play" with additional features & functionality.
Due to the large user base, there are hundreds of forums where people discuss ideas & trouble shooting for Magento
Cons
Magento is slower than other comparable platforms, especially during checkout.
Technical support included in the Enterprise plan is generally slow to respond, and not very helpful.
Magento doesn't allow import/export of category data which means all edits have to be done manually.
Magento doesn't have a great CMS for content pages (Customer Service, Company Page, Other Resources). This type of content has to be loaded in HTML blocks in a library, and they the blocks have to each be assigned to the pages(categories) manually. The library is sorted by creation date, so it is a pain to scroll through a very long list to find/edit blocks. It would make a lot more sense if there were multiple HTML fields for each page (category) that could be used to populate content directly into the page.
Likelihood to Recommend
Magento provides a lot of flexibility, but requires developers to make customizations. If a business is looking for a standard website, and needs little to no customization, a simpler platform may work better.
