Finding the right ecommerce solution for your business is a daunting task. Apart from scalability, stability, flexibility and integration, there are many other aspects which you need to consider while selecting the right ecommerce platform for your business. Oracle NetSuite SuiteCommerce & Magento are two industry leading ecommerce solutions. But which one is best, we need to analyze few things.
Magento – Considered as industry leading e-commerce solution, Magento offers variety of capabilities such as order fulfillment, shopping cart management, website management, and catalogs, as well as additional functionalities for online marketing, content management, shipping, and SEO. With release of Magento 2.0, some of the issues of its predecessor, like table locking, search limitations, and constant reloads have been overcome. Magento 2.0 delivers better web performance, and features an entirely new tech stack. However, with release of Magento 2.0, more issues and problems have cropped up like migrating or “upgrading” isn’t also as seamless, and may be just as difficult as migrating to a different solution altogether.
NetSuite SuiteCommerce – As a leading cloud-based, true SaaS business management software, NetSuite enables companies to manage core business processes with a single, fully integrated system covering ERP/financials, CRM, ecommerce, inventory and additional capabilities.

| If you don’t want to deal with unreliable integrations and code conflicts, SuiteCommerce will allow you to access NetSuite tools without having to worry about compatibility. | Magento wasn’t built with ERP or accounting integration in mind. You require third-party extensions and middleware, and help from a PHP or MySQL developer. |
| SuiteCommerce is a solution that grows with your business. You don’t have to worry about the currencies, languages, & compliance. | With Magento, management and support for growing number of transactions, fulfillments, people, products, and processes is something unpredictable as extensions and integrations vary from vendor to vendor. So, very limited in terms of scalability. |
