A robust solution for e-commerce

PROS

Aimeos is a huge system to build e-commerce solutions: from simple shops to complex marketplaces, it has a host of features to accommodate every need. Multi-language, multi-currency, multi-site projects with hundreds of thousands of products are possible, plus it is compatible with multiple PHP frameworks like Laravel, Symfony etc. It's very fast, is costantly updated and support is good.

CONS

Depending on the type of project and on the amount of customizations to do, the learning curve can be steep, but I guess this is normal for such big software packages. Documentation is extensive but not always helpful. Fortunately the dedicated online help forum is a good resource to receive tips from the package creators.

Probably the most scalable Ecommerce framework

It was and is a very positive experience and our customers love it, specially because we managed to connect Aimeos with Vue Storefront, creating this way a PWA ready Ecommerce, prepared for the future.

PROS

Very robust and scalable framework with loading times below every Ecommerce system we have seen in the market. Super fast!

CONS

The backoffice design is functional, although it could be more attractive and user friendly.

Not easy to start with

We replaced a small Magento 1 multi-language shop with Aimeos. After a short introduction and help of the Aimeos support, the new shop was running. Also the additon of some common changes was possible - sometimes with help of the Aimeos support (thanks to Norbert).

PROS

I like the feature scope of the software. The support is very good, too.

CONS

The documentation could be better to understand, and there should be some examples.

Reasons for switching to Aimeos

First, because Magento 1 was running out, and something has to be done. Second, because we already had TYPO3, and there is an extension which integrates Aimeos into TYPO3. Third, because Magento nowadays is too big and very uncomfortable for me to maintain.

I wish I could give 6 stars for customer support

Our old Magento developers could not deliver a working solution in 3 months. Importing 10 million products with their system took days. With two weeks left to our launch date we decided to scrap the old project and start from scratch with Aimeos. Best decision ever. In two weeks we were able to launch our new ordering platform. Currently we import the 10 million products in around 30 minutes. None of it would have been possible without extensive help from Aimeos. Greetings to [SENSITIVE CONTENT HIDDEN]! He's a real professional.

PROS

With the #gigacommerce extension Aimeos can easily work with over billion products. That is 1 with 9 zeroes. I don't know of any other software that can do it out of the box. We currently have around 10 000 000 products in our database and Aimeos does not even break a sweat. In addition to that, the software package is extremeley customizable and extensible. Our requirements are in some aspects quite different from a regular e-commerce site but we have been able to get all the needed functionality up and running in no time.

CONS

The user base is obviously smaller than that of Woocommerce's or Magento's. So you get less results when googling how to do something in Aimeos. But there is a comprihensive documentation available and user support is the best I have ever encountered.
