An e-Commerce Software is one program that can meet the specific requirements of your company to the very best. It is vital to all the options into consideration and identify the option that works really with your enterprise. You will have to review several products before you could make a decision as which one is the best for you. Let’s take an example, on a scale of 10, SAP Hybris and Magento are scored at 8.8 and 9.5, respectively, by the experts for overall quality and performance basis. Similarly, we talk about the user satisfaction rating, Magento and SAP Hybris score a rating of 90% and 100%, respectively. This shows the general satisfaction that they get from their customers while receiving feedback.

Moreover, reach put to an existing client of the software and ask for their comments regarding the application in question. It is although obvious that not all people have sufficient time to scrutinize and compare a wide range of various products, hence, we’re giving out the comparison of the most popular two for better understanding and this article is constructed with the insights from the people who have already been using these for a long time now. Let’s start.

Magento

Hybris

If we talk about the software development, both Hybris and Magento have a solid developer community, although many users suggest that Magento has the Eco-system that comprises of developers, extension companies and the hosting solution partners is somewhat more exclusive and complete.

Experts say that Magento is a little more of one finished e-commerce product, containing almost all of the basic features that one would you’d need to launch a website.  In addition to this, it is so that a knowledgeable developer would be able to customize it further in accordance with the needs.

Hybris is based on Java. Being associated with larger companies and larger projects, and while that has certain advantages of its own, this also means that it usually a bit longer to develop a website on Hybris than Magento.

Pay attention!
It just may not always be sufficient to compare only Magento and SAP Hybris with each other. Even so the useful features, the pricing plans and the user experience features are all the important aspects and these should determine more weight on the choice when making a final decision, it also has to be made sure that we check out the recognition and the awards won by every solution. It could be so, and it happens particular cases, that a less dominant service turns out to be a great choice, in spite of its limited popularity in the market.
