particular editions. Merchants can select and
proceed with any as per their preference budget
constraints- Magento Open-Source As the name

editions Both of the Magento editions are
unflawed and in demand for anyone to select as

Cons
Huge Development Cost
Even though it comes in an open-source version,
Magento does cost expensive in general. First of
all, certified Magento developers are not readily
available today, and if they are, they cost a
little pricey. However, an open-source Magento
version can be overhauled using few decent
extensions, plugins, and fancy codes. But, for
such effective custom Magento development, you
have to set a decent budget.
The consequence of high development cost
It is pretty much evident to everyone. But you
should know that huge development costs may
affect the traction of your business ahead. You
won't be left with many funds to utilize in your
marketing campaigns. You may not be able to
manage your support maintenance expenses, and
worst, you'll not be able to purchase valuable
plugins, themes, and extensions for your
business. Because the majority of valuable
add-ons request initial fees.

Cons
Time Eating Projects
This is one of the blessings of Magento, which
sometimes acts as its curse. The API-led
architecture of Magento allows us to easily
integrate third-party software and customize them
as per the client's preference. But, the
system's complexity makes the entire process
lengthy and time-consuming, even for an
experienced Magento development company.
The consequence of time-eating projects
Time is one of the fuels for an online business.
And, when each small process gets
time-consuming, then companies often miss the
necessary points of action. For instance
Lets assume you need to integrate an advanced
analytics module in your Magento store for an
upcoming festive sale but, the complexity of the
module made developers consume extra time, then
it's possible that it could heavily affect your
preparation period.

Cons
Need for powerful hosting
Don't even think about shared hosting if you are
planning to run a Magento commerce store. Due to
heavy yet powerful add-ons, shared hosting will
only result in performance issues, site
downtimes, security vulnerabilities, and poor
website management. A VPS (Virtual Private
Server), cloud, or dedicated server is the best
way to run your Magento commerce smoothly.
Besides, domain registration, SSL Certificates,
and hosting plans can be a pocket burn for
various starter merchants with zero to no
technical knowledge.
The consequence of no dedicated hosting
A dedicated hosting brings countless hidden
benefits when your store is ready to go live. If
not using a separate server, your visitors may
experience poor loading speed, site crash, and
pathetic user experience. It directly leads
your brand image towards death. And that is a
significant factor to build trust in an online
business ecosystem.
