Differences Between Magento 1 & Magento 2


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.
