        • Good performance requires dedicated hosting, not shared hosting
        • The more features an application has, the more difficult it is to use

        • Direct database interaction is too complicated because of EAV
      Downsides of the bridge-solution
        • You have to pay to obtain a license
        • The bridge brings also the downsides of Magento to Joomla!
        • Theming of both Joomla! as Magento is required
        • Because the Magento API is not sufficient, it uses its own API
