Magento 1
was released in 2008. I was introduced as an open source platform, magento was first based on small &
medium size business. Their careful aim paid off over the past 8 years, Magento
took control of SMB eCommerce Industry. Now more than 30% of eCommerce shops
run on some version of Magento.
There are three edition of Magento:
- I. Magento 1 Community Edition (CE)
- II. Magento 1 Enterprise Edition (EE)
- III. And newly Magento 2
Magento 1
has many updates from 2008 to 2015, then after Magento 2 was launched in
November 2015.
We secretly
heard about Magento 2 was launching in
2010, but unfortunately, it didn’t happen
due to some major issues was going behind
the scenes. However slowly Magento 2 was released on November 17, 2015. But it
was mostly different from Magento 1. Magento 2 came with his own set of issues.
I.
Difficult
to install
II.
Product
speed was lacking
III.
A
newly training was needed for all part of the
platforms
IV.
Extensions were hard to transport over
In mid-2016 eBay sold Magento to a bunch of
investors, who relaunched Magento as an independent
business. Lately, the production
version of Magento 2.0 was finally
launched. But the version 2.0 had a long period and it was not so easy to enter
eCommerce world. Magento has worked hard
to resolve developer concerns.
