How come no one ever left a comment on this. It is the most simple but yet comprehensive comparison on these two. Thanks for saving me the admin time of setting up Magento for a project that cannot afford it. Switching back to Joomla
THUMBS UP!!!
Magento….it’s biggest problem is that it is SLOW AS HELL!
Hi Anand,
This is a good comparison, and I personally agree with most points (especially those stressing the fact that Mangento needs a professional team to run, unlike small Joomla sites). However, I think the security part is a little harsh on Joomla.
The reason why Magento seems more secure than Joomla is because Magento sites are all installed and extended by professionals, unlike Joomla sites that are managed by mostly the owner of a small business.
Hi Fadi,
Great to here your comments. You made a valuable points here. Stay tuned for more updates.
Great comparision and simple to track out the exact information. Helpful blog for the beginners who are looking to build ecommerce store through cms.
Great but simple comparison ever. I really like it, but choosing the best CMS between two platforms should be determined as per the requirement of individuals or business.
On the same times cost is one of the great concern here.
Yes, I agree with your point. The choice depends on the magnitude of the business a person plans to run. If cost is the concern, Joomla would be the best but in terms of scalability Magento wins.
I think you should really have the column of Joomla + Shopping extension as it cant do the same things without one of the good extensions.
Templates are much easier to do in Joomla as you have to work in XML and many levels deep folders on Magento. You shared the needed one for whom gonna explore their sites in this two open source platform.
We will consider including your valuable inputs in our next blog. Your ideas have made our post more valuable. Check out more of our blogs and share your thoughts.
Hi friends,
This is a good piece of writing and good arguments
commented here between joomla & magento, I am actually enjoying while reading. Magento has lot of sub folders and joomla is really easy to implement. But both of the platforms serves well.
This will be a decent correlation focused around the functionalities, as per this information, both these platforms have their own characteristics. so we can’t go to a conclusion which one is best.
Joomla is Content Management System (CMS) competing with Word Press and Drupal. Joomla + Virtue Mart is shopping cart competing with Magento.
Comparison makes worth this post, glad it helped me to know the common facts about the two open source platforms.
It’ll be helpful for my future implementation for my CMS system.
The list of comparison gives a clear view about cms. As you have given the functionality in a detailed manner, I am quite sure that beginners will easily understand the difference between joomla and Magento.
