A perfectly scalable e-commerce platform lies at the heart of any e-commerce business or operation.<br />
In the past, shopping was everything related to a brick and mortar store or a fancy retail outlet, which<br />
covered the local neighborhood. However, today’s picture is far from it. In the current era of the<br />
internet-fueled e-commerce boom, a web store becomes the storefront, which hosts its products and<br />
services. Hence, a website can be the differentiator between an iconic brand and one that gradually<br />
fades into the oblivion. However, with the number of options available in the market, today choosing<br />
the correct e-commerce platform is no mean fete.<br />
To start with, many factors come to play. While choosing an e-commerce platform, below are a few<br />
factors to consider.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Is the e-commerce platform hosted or self-hosted<br />
Ability to provide robust support and back up network<br />
Ability to integrate with various back end systems<br />
Pricing and maintenance cost<br />
Upon considering these points, no seasoned analyst with a penchant for e-commerce can fail to<br />
compare the two most robust and scalable e-commerce platforms operating in the domain, <strong>Magento</strong><br />
and <strong>Demandware</strong>.<br />
<strong>Magento</strong> <strong>vs</strong> <strong>Demandware</strong><br />
In this article, we will dwell deeper into the features of two top of the line e-commerce platforms,<br />
which are both contemporaries and leaders, related to certain features.<br />
Some of the largest e-commerce stores are powered by the platforms <strong>Demandware</strong> and <strong>Magento</strong>.<br />
This article outlines the features of both the platform through the prism of the broad categories which<br />
is important while identifying an e-commerce platform.<br />
Hosting and Maintenance<br />
<strong>Demandware</strong>: This e-commerce platform offers a fully hosted multi-tenant proprietary solution, which<br />
means all the infrastructure is managed by <strong>Demandware</strong>. This is an attractive option for e-commerce<br />
companies, who do not want to get into the hassles of security and maintenance of the site and solely<br />
concentrate on selling their products and services.<br />
But the real problem arises when a business wants to install a customized add on module for their<br />
eStore. These exclusive customizations require approval from <strong>Demandware</strong> and their restrictions are<br />
said to be in place to ensure the site still functions after the customization.<br />
