Most comprehensive PWA

By using Vue Storefront, we have been able to cut on bounce rate and server resources.

PROS

Built with VueJS which is for sure the future of front end, Vue Storefront guarantees great performance. It is open source, easy to set up, great components and most importantly, it has a large community of very active users and contributors. Makes use of ElasticSearch and GraphQL thus very efficient and powerful.

CONS

Some of the functionalities are limited and the fact that it does not allow the use of jQuery and other dependencies. There are still several bugs that need to be fixed to make it perfect.

A new user experience for the web

Vue StoreFront help merchand : - to reduce hosting cost. - allows to accept more simultaneous users - Reduce the bounce rate - Increase business

PROS

Speed of navigation is a new discovery for ecommerce. The possibility of navigating in the metro for example is a real plus. We can now prepare our purchases during our time off in transport for example. No more native applications, we have a web application available which is updated without any action. View StoreFront offers advantages over the Magento PWA for exemple: - Resilience (Thanks to ElasticSearch) - Possibility to change backend without changing Frontend.

CONS

The number of missing features such as catalog rules or basket rules.

Very Expensive NOT User Friendly, NOT Google Optimized

We were trying to increase conversions and Google page speed scores. We were trying to give a better experience to our customers. The default template ends up lowering your page speed score with a lot of customizing, the user experience is not good without a lot of customizing. Basically we saw a drop in traffic, conversions and page speed scores by switching.

PROS

There are few things I can think of that are plusses to Vue Storefront. The only ones really are that they try hard to improve.

CONS

This "solution" is bulit by developers for developers seemingly without any real consultation with people who actually do ecommerce. There are tons of things that do not work out of the box. 1. The search doesn't allow for AND logic, which is basic and needs to be customized. 2. The default theme doesn't have a horizontal menu even on desktop, again basic and needs to be customized. 3. Star reviews - Don't work need to be customized. 4. Almost every single payment method needs immense customization to get it to work. 5. No zoom on products. 6. The SCHEMA structure is basic at best and misses a LOT of information. 7. Many things are skipped by SSR. Basically it is a developers dream and a retailers nightmare.

Reason for choosing Vue Storefront

It was touted as being cutting edge and the best solution out there for our situation.

Great Thing - a little steep learning curve though...

Its good. But It'll take some time for getting on board.

PROS

I like its features. Although Features like offline support etc are may be not the very need...

CONS

I like the support of both elastic search and graphql. Although i think its a little bit more complex to onboard with for developers without knowledge of too many technologies used in the vue storefront. Magento, ElasticSearch, GraphQL,Redis, Service Workers, apart from the traditional expressjs and Vue Package(Vue, Vuex,Nuxt etc...). And It legs backend management portal, we still have to use magento admin portal essentially. Why you guys did not make it independent of magento or prestashop etc..
