Magento Vs定制解决方案[关闭]

Question

We are running an online e-commerce website which is built-in PHP & MySql.Having heard about magento we are considering it as as alternative to our existing system which is built in-house. Can anybody compare a well developed custom bulit e-commerce solution in php with Magento on the following points and plus any other criteria which to be considered.

1. Speed of future developments/modifications
2. Website performance (page execution , server load etc)
3. Chances of getting stuck to the system in future and ending up changing business plans.
4. Flexibility

Thanks in advance

Answer 1

1. Magento developers release stable versions every 2-3 months.

2. Magento requires some server-side knowledge of caching and mysql optimizing, because it is very large and resource-hungry.

3. Magento provides a good functionality for basic web-shop. Also there is a community and a lot of custom modules, which is very helpful.

4. System is very flexible due to modularity, with separation between core and user modules. API is quite clear and accessible.

As PHP developer I should say that Magento is very flexible system with which you are able to do what you want and how you want. But Magento layouts freak me out lol :D
