Customization supports complex needs, though speed challenges persist
We don't use the reporting tools from Adobe Commerce as we have our own reporting infrastructure. Adobe Commerce can be complex in terms of ease of use, as it's such a large platform. From the development side, you can customize everything, but that does require substantial resources. When working on Adobe Commerce, I would want Adobe Commerce specialist developers. Although it's all built in PHP, and there are many PHP developers, I would want Adobe Commerce specialist developers working on it because they have knowledge about what to customize and more importantly, what's best not to touch. There are always site speed issues with Adobe Commerce. It seems to be an ongoing issue with performance. When comparing it to Shopify, you don't tend to need to worry about that, but with Adobe Commerce, it remains an ongoing issue. Additionally, there are all the upgrades, which can be quite painful, including the regular patches, both on the open-source and licensed version, on-premises. The initial setup for migrating to Adobe Commerce from another e-commerce platform is not straightforward; it's a very big job. The pricing for Adobe Commerce varies dramatically. Quite often, you see their list prices and then you are able to negotiate very hefty discounts. My understanding is that they're moving away from heavily discounting. Although our license where I am at the moment is heavily discounted, I'm hearing that they're trying to move away from that practice.

For Spryker Systems, there is one major issue I see. There are no peer groups or developer channels where we can post our problems. If we go with Magento and other frameworks, there are many developers available there. You can search on Google, and there are multiple solutions available. You can see the solution, apply it, and then determine if you are able to solve your problem. This type of community resource is missing in Spryker Systems, so they need to do a lot of work on their side. Some user-friendly features are missing in Spryker Systems. Right now, in the present release, they did some things, but they need to do much more from a normal user's point of view. Currently, Spryker Systems is only focused on developer points of view, such as how a developer can extend the functionality or inject functionality into the system. However, if we talk about default features, there are no features. For example, there is nothing for reporting, and if we go with the configuration, only basic configuration is available. No high-level or low-level configuration exists. For example, if we want to showcase something on the cart checkout page, you cannot simply go into the configuration and enable or disable things. These types of features are missing. If Spryker Systems works on these parts, then it is a very cool platform from a user's standpoint.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Integrated Payment Gateway International Payment Ready Cash On Delivery and Bank Deposit Email Notifications Integrated Social Media Product Presentation Verify Orders Easy Navigation Personalized Shopping Experience 3rd Party Extensions Showcase your products Advanced Sort and Search Simple Check-out process Secure Shopping SEO Optimized Enable/Disable Products Multiple Stores"
"The open-source PHP code allows our developers to customize pretty much anything on the platform, including allowing us to add some of the most complex shipping and inventory features for clients who have very specific, industry-related business specifications."
"On the plus side, when you build everything from scratch in Magento, you can do magic with it."
"Magento has changed over the years, but one of the most interesting aspects is that it gets the job done, and a vast community of experts is knowledgeable about the solution."
"We have the ability to resolve service issues since Magento enables us to invest more time in dealing with custom requirements."
"The ecosystem includes thousands of vendors who are providing third-party add-ons."
"The solution's valuable features are the presentation layout and ease of use."
"The customization capabilities of Adobe Commerce are great."
"The platform's composability is valuable as it provides a variety of extensions to interface with other solutions."
"Over the last six months, I have found that Spryker Systems' composable commerce and integration capabilities have helped me because Spryker also has the capability with Docker."
"Spryker Systems has had a positive impact on my company because we were able to generate a significant revenue increase in our e-commerce area."
"From an extensive point of view or for a large project point of view, Spryker Systems is the best platform right now."
 

Cons

"I'm not a technical person, but we had some kind of late response in page loading, let's say page load speed."
"The product needs to improve its security. Also, they need to improve B2B features."
"The analytics are good but there is room for improvement."
"Magento 2 is only three to four years old, so it is an evolving technology. In certain areas on the front there were some glitches. For example, you can't do certain kinds of filters on data and you have certain speed issues on category pages due to the way it was written within Magento. Those were a few minor tweaks where we, as a community, found that to be a necessary scope of improvement. But I think they are working on it and hopefully they can solve these issues earlier than later."
"The data analysis could be improved. The data that you receive whenever you go into the backend of the platform for the analysis is very simple and basic, it could be a little more sophisticated in order to be closer to the client. The data analysis and intelligence of the platform could be better."
"I am still playing around and trying to catch up with the latest version to understand all the features, but I do feel that its CMS can be much more streamlined. They provide a what-you-see-is-what-you-get editor, which many customers prefer, but based on the implementations that I have done for more than seven years, I have seen that many times, it is run by the marketing team, and they don't find it very comfortable to use. They feel uncomfortable managing and changing the content. As a business user, you need to have at least basic knowledge of HTML, which you cannot expect from all marketing teams. Some companies or organizations have that competency, but many organizations, especially in the Middle East, have a very small team, so it becomes quite difficult for them. This is a common challenge that I have seen across the platforms. Magento is better and easier than Oracle Commerce Cloud, but Shopify is much easier than Magento. A layman or my 10-year-old kid can go ahead and set up a store in Shopify in probably 45 minutes, which is not the case with Magento. Elasticsearch has really been a pain. It takes a toll on the performance. Starting with version 2.4, Magento requires Elasticsearch, which has been causing a lot of serious performance issues. We had a client in the US who was running a promo, and they lost a subsequent number of orders over one and a half hours. They were on the enterprise platform, not open-source. The team had to open a ticket with Magento. Its performance needs to be upgraded, or some kind of guidelines have to be provided for the setup. It looks like even Magento has no clue. When you go through the answers given in the online community, it seems that in spite of having the hardware configurations that they suggest, it is not performing at the optimal level. It should also have a better way to measure performance. Performance measuring has to be much easier. Many times, we see CPU utilization going up and down. We see spikes without any reason. Therefore, we need a better performance management system."
"Because of the complexities of the platform, there aren’t really that many good developers in the industry."
"The limited availability of experienced developers can make the product costly to maintain."
"Spryker Systems could be improved if we can reduce the complexity level."
"For Spryker Systems, there is one major issue I see. There are no peer groups or developer channels where we can post our problems."
"Spryker Systems is a good company with good customer support. However, there are also problems and setbacks from time to time."
"Spryker, even with its native features, often requires some development and configuration into the code, which is not straightforward in the beginning."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of implementation is cheap compared to other solutions."
"Many implementations were open-source. We also had a couple of enterprise-level implementations, but I didn't have visibility on the licensing cost."
"The product offers an open-source version, which is free. There are licensing options for Adobe Commerce's cloud version."
"This solution is cheaper than some of its competitors. However, the price depends on which country you are in. In some countries, such as Greece or some Southeastern European countries, the price for the client can be expensive."
"We transitioned from the platform's commercial license to the open-source version, which helped optimize costs without affecting our sales."
"The price of the solution increased after Adobe acquired Magento. At this point, we know the price of Magento and SAP, and while they may have lower entry tickets, they are ultimately comparable."
