    Default Magento vs StoreFront

    We are having issues with client where he plans to move to Magento, reasons why are beyond scope of this message.

    Can someone give me a clue why the StoreFront is better (I knwo it is) then Magento?

    Is there an ace in the sleeve for StoreFront?


    thanks

    Based on the research I did your ace in the hole is COST.

    If I remember right Magento Enterprise (which is the only version that has nearly as many features as aspdotnetstorefront) is around $10,000 a year in licensing fees. Development for Magento is also more expensive. It's a complex piece of software and requires a good amount of recursive development -- making sure that A still works with B and C still works with Z when A and C are using X (if you get my drift). Their support is supposed to be very nice but very expensive. I've also heard it has a pretty harsh learning curve.

    I would say that if cost is any sort of a concern (and it usually is) you can most likely make aspdotnetstorefront do whatever you need it to do for less than the cost of Magento licensing+development fees.

    TLDR; It's expensive.

    Here are some decent articles that talk about the pros and cons of aspdnsf or Magento:

    http://www.demacmedia.com/ecommerce/...netstorefront/

    http://shopping-cart-software.findth...an-id-vz2-span

    http://www.atensoftware.com/p90.php?q=240

    We have worked with both aspdnsf and Magento with our integration solutions. Both have pros and cons, it just depends what your exact needs are. Hopefully those articles will help
