The PeC Review has recently declared that Magento is the “Open Source Powerhouse.” If you follow the link, you’ll even see a video walking you through their review.

Magento is an excellent ecommerce platform. Some users may find it too complicated, but I believe it is one of the top solutions for online retailers in the market today. It earns every bit of glitter and sparkle from its four and a half stars in this The PeC Review.

The review goes on to talk about the power of Magento but does remind the reader that some skill is needed to make full use of the platform:

But to take full advantage of Magento, developers need a knowledge of Apache web servers, MySQL, SOAP, PHP, XML, XHTML, and CSS. Arguably these skills are required for most shopping carts or platforms, but Magento is much more hands on and even a standard implementation will have you accessing files and writing code that other platforms might not require.

While SimpleHelix has always stood by the quality of Magento as compared to other e-commerce platforms, it’s encouraging to see detailed reviews supporting that opinion.
