Why Magento is best among other eCommerce?

Let’s take a look at the types of solutions available, so you can choose one and avail eCommerce development services for the same :

1) Open source vs. Proprietary systems

Open source platforms are those in which the code is openly available and is free to be distributed, modified and used by anyone. These allow the creation of solutions that are customized as per your needs. Proprietary systems, on the other hand, are where you entrust a company to develop your site and do not own the rights to the underlying architecture of the site. So, if the company suddenly vanishes, then you’ve got no one else to take over your site. Generally, such solutions need to be avoided.

The Magento Community Edition, which is an open source platform, gives you the freedom to hire Magento developers from its massive community and does not impose any restrictions on the extent to which you can use it.

2) Open Source CMS options

There are several open source eCommerce solutions, including X-cart, Prestashop, OsCommerce, OpenCart, WooCommerce, among many others. Magento retains the lead, however, with its superior functionality, beating down OsCommerce which used to be the industry-standard before. WooCommerce is another popular choice for those who’d like to extend their WordPress site with a plugin.

3) Hosted solutions

Alternatives to the mentioned options are ‘hosted’ systems. These are DIY builders that require no installation or hosting. You can create an account online, customize, add products and your site gets ready. Shopify, Volusion and BigCommerce are some examples. While these are great, since the development effort is removed, a monthly subscription fee is involved. Also, while you might call it your site, it’s never actually yours, and the limited flexibility is a major drawback for those who want to build a custom, large-scale store.

Why Magento reigns supreme?

Magento with its powerful features gives you everything you need to build a robust, fully customized and high performing store without limiting yourself with the hassle of availing a proprietary or hosted solution. However, you might need to invest a sum in Magento development, but it’d be worth it because you get to build a store that works the way you want.
