Comments on: Magento http://alexander.holbreich.org/2007/12/magento/ Everything becomes a little different as soon as it is spoken out loud. ~Hermann Hesse Fri, 03 Feb 2012 07:43:02 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.3.1 By: shuronhttp://alexander.holbreich.org/2007/12/magento/comment-page-1/#comment-4213 shuron Sat, 04 Feb 2012 19:43:00 +0000 http://alexander.holbreich.org2007/12/magento/#comment-4213 Thank your for replies. Meanwhile I'm also not a biggest friend of Magento. Problems of Magento is its complexity in the code and configuration. To many technologies and methods in mix with bad (or no) documentation. To many time waste for maintenance or customization. But it's still the best one of the open source shops (IMHO) Thank your for replies.

However bigcommerce is based on interspire ultimate edition and this existed at a time of this article. My argument is magento is not the best ecommerce software there is out there. I have implemented for customers before and none of my customers found it easy to use. Comments from my customers were "The software has great features but to hard to remember how to use it". One other problem I found with magento is that it is a very heavy software. It requires High hotsing specs otherwise it will be a complete drag. I Personally recommend the Bigcommerce http://bigcommerce.com/ I guess this post was done way before Bigcommerce came to the market.

I remember version 1.x being much slower than current version (1.1.6), but now it's not good at all. Unfortunately this eCommerce solution needs well configured dedicated server to work. No chance to be satisfied using even very good shared hosting. I’ve been testing Magento for a while and I must say it’s unbelievably slow on standard hosting.

Version 1 had some problems with the perfomance, but with the new release 1.1 there is a performance-boost of about 40 percent and Magento is no longer that slow. We´ve developed a Shop with more than 23.000 products and we´ve no performance-problems - not a all. The only thing is that you need a dedicated optimized server (best case: quad-core). But a server should not be the bottleneck starting a webshop. Hi Matt,
