My experience with PrestaShop

What are the best aspects of this product?

Ideal software for medium businesses, with turnover of maximum 5 M euros. Smart online solutions, where resources are complete, consumable, and reasonably structured. Just recently, they introduced a set of functional templates, those were very helpful to our business. Don't worry about the options you can't find, the user community will come up with some add on you can buy and add to your platform. Finally, the unbeatable advantage of being free! Yes, you read right-you won't have to pay a penny on platform mode , can you believe it?

What aspects are problematic or could work better?

The cache is still not good enough to handle peak loads the way it should. However, that shouldn't be an issue for users that mastered the program, I guess it becomes a habit after a while. What is really sad is that the product doesn’t have a proper back-up framework (Symfony or Zend, for instance), even if I think they did this deliberately, to transfer the spotlight on other advantages. Highly customizable, but not that personal.

What specific problems in your company were solved by this product?

We got rid of entry level issues, and we became surprisingly e-commerce effective.

Are you a current user of this product?
