1. Magento: Enterprise and Community
editions
An overview

2. Magento
● Magento is a PHP, MySQL based platform to build
ecommerce websites. Magento also incorporates
elements of the Zend framework.
● As of now, Magento is the fastest growing
ecommerce platform and the undisputed No.1 in its
category.

3. How Magento differs from the rest
● Magento was designed with the end-user in
mind. This is why it designed features like
multiple storefronts, cross selling, coupon codes
etc. much before the rest.
● The Magento platform runs on object-oriented
code that allows for more efficiency and
security as the system works on a collection of
interacting objects.

4. Magento Community Edition
● Magento community edition is an open
source platform that allows anyone to
modify its core
● The community edition can be chosen if
one is a developer and wants to explore
the flexibility of Magento
● If one needs advanced features though,
the community edition might not be
enough

5. “
● Magento as a platform is extremely complex
and only a developer with a few years of
experience in Magento can develop sites with
the Community edition
● One can take help from the developers that
abound the countless Magento discussion
threads online

6. Magento Enterprise
● At more than $15,000, the enterprise is
priced quite high. But if your ecommerce
store has a large number of products and
needs better performance features, then the
enterprise is a must
● There are sites that have shown a 65%
increase in page load times when
developed with Magento enterprise v1.13

7. ● This means that with the same hardware,
Magento enterprise allows users to place
more orders and also more page views
● Magento enterprise has full page cache that
decreases your load time (the community
edition doesn’t have this)
● In the community edition, you have DNS,
PHP, Caching all in a single server. In
enterprise, you can separate it into different
servers so you get more scalability.

8. Magento Advantages
● The key advantage of Magento is its abundant
features.
● Magento’s templates offer business-specific themes.
As they are a mix of HTML and PHP, these
templates strictly conform to the category structure
that one needs.
● Magento allows you to integrate many different
domain names in one control panel. Therefore, you
can manage more than one storefront at a time from
a single admin panel

9. ● Magento is based on the MVC architecture
where every block is associated with a template.
The block acts as the controller and the
template acts as a view in the M-V-C
architecture.
● This separation between data, business and UI
provides for better speed and processing of
data.
