Magento Vs OpenCart
Magento Open Source is ductile, adaptable, and if in the hands of right person/ team, can orchestrate a beautiful, functional website for all aspect of retailers. On the contrary OpenCart can run with far less server resources compared to Magento and runs much faster (lower is better).
Similitude between Magento and OpenCart
OpenCart for me is somewhere in the middle. It also has lots of great features, but it’s super understandable to use for non-tech users. Administration is straightforward. I only need to add new shipping or payment modules for my clients. OpenCart is free, extensions are inexpensive, it works fast. Modifications can be done easily (more or less). One thing that’s not so great is that you can’t update from one version to another easily. But you don’t need to do it every time when new version comes out. Magento is completely reversed- it is developed for large capacity, immense loads of options etc. It has lots of tools and fields in one place, and it really takes time to instruct someone who is non-tech to use it. Magento might just be appreciable for you. Other thing why Magento scares me – The price of the extensions.
Conclusion
We the team familiar with both Magento and OpenCart. We are super satisfied with the features and opportunities that OpenCart provide us. Our professional developers has many years of experience in OpenCart and many business are preferred to be done in OpenCart. Magento is considered as a powerful platform. Magento is the most preferred eCommerce solution. Magento seems to be really popular now and it is worth giving a try at least. However, it is too expensive with many causeless features even for small trade. We Securians manipulate both and try making our customer happy towards the project they
provide.
