Magento (Adobe Commerce)
Magento, currently known as Adobe Commerce, is one of the most powerful and flexible e-commerce platforms on the market. Since its acquisition by Adobe in 2020, Magento has been constantly evolving, offering advanced tools for building and managing online stores – for both small businesses and large enterprises.
Key Benefits of Magento
- Flexibility and personalization – Magento is an open-source platform, meaning you can freely modify its code, appearance, and functionalities. Thanks to a rich ecosystem of extensions and themes, the store can be tailored to individual needs and industries.
- Scalability – Magento supports both small stores and huge platforms with hundreds of thousands of products and thousands of transactions per hour. It is an ideal solution for companies planning dynamic growth.
- Rich feature set – The platform offers advanced product management, multi-store support, multi-currency and multi-language capabilities, extensive SEO tools, customer segmentation, analytics, and integrations with other systems.
- Strong community and support – Magento has an active community of developers and users, translating into a broad knowledge base, numerous forums, documentation, and availability of specialists.
- Advanced security – The platform offers robust protection mechanisms, such as SSL encryption, fraud detection tools, and regular security updates.
Cons of Magento
- High technical requirements – Magento is a complex platform and requires technical experience both during implementation and daily operation. People without an IT background may have difficulty managing the store on their own.
- Maintenance costs – Although the open-source version is free, the costs of hosting, development, updates, and security can be significant – especially for the Adobe Commerce version.
- Resource intensity – For the store to run fast and stable, efficient server infrastructure is needed. Poor hosting can lead to slow page loading and customer dissatisfaction.
- Complex updates and migrations – Moving a store to newer Magento versions or migrating from other platforms can be time-consuming and requires specialized knowledge.
- Manual security management – Regular implementation of security patches and updates is necessary to protect the store from threats. Negligence can lead to serious problems – an example is the “SessionReaper” vulnerability from September 2025, which allowed user sessions to be hijacked and required an urgent update.
Integrations and Ecosystem
Magento offers very broad integration capabilities with external systems and tools. The platform supports integrations with the most popular payment systems (PayU, Przelewy24, Stripe, PayPal, DotPay), marketing tools (Google Analytics 4, SALESmanago, Mailchimp), ERP and CRM systems (SAP, Comarch, Microsoft Dynamics), and marketplace platforms (Allegro, Amazon, eBay). Thanks to its open architecture and huge number of available extensions (both free and paid), Magento allows for almost unlimited expansion of store functionalities. There is also an extensive ecosystem of implementation partners, agencies, and developer communities, facilitating e-commerce project deployments and development.
Comparison with Other Platforms
- Shopware: Magento is more extensive and scalable, performing better in large, complex e-commerce projects, especially B2B. Shopware is simpler to deploy and use but has a smaller ecosystem of extensions.
- WooCommerce: Magento is more technologically advanced and scalable but requires greater resources and technical knowledge. WooCommerce is easier to use and cheaper to start but less efficient for large stores.
