Sylius Reviews
"It's future of eCommerce"
Overall: Silius is the best e-commerce framework I have had the opportunity to work with. It allows delivering the same functionalities in comparison to competing for Magento type platforms even twice as fast. Sylius is even created for development and maintenance.
Pros: It is very flexible, there is no technological debt compared to other solutions, it is based on Symfony in which it is easy to find developers.
Cons: The entry threshold is quite high. It requires a developer to work, you can't click a shop like in other platforms.
"The Power Commerce framework for growth-minded business"
Overall: Again: Scale, Power, and Customizability. This platform used properly can take on big Cyber Monday campaigns and delivery with ease (and the right server model); it is ready for larger scale deployment and perform under heavy traffic/load.
Pros: Scalability and Customizability above all else is Sylius' strength. Because if its adherence to the Symfony framework, Sylius draws on not just one but two powerful developer communities. As a result you get a complete customize application model you can add to, customize; and not just on the front end (that's easy!). When you need to customize administration, you can; when you need to customize the data model, you can; when you need to add warehouse inventory integration with 3rd party platforms, you can; when you need to add Business Intelligence reporting platforms ..... yes, you can.
Cons: There is nothing I "least" like. This is a platform for developers first and foremost. It does not try to be all things to all people, it gets done what Square and Shopify cannot - gets you ecosystem-level granular management. Not drag and drop look-it's-so-easy type of development. Way beyond that.
"Awesome and elegant"
Overall: Advance and strong framework and deep personalisation level.
Pros: Perfect for development, endless possibilities to personalise every aspect of the system and add your own plugins. Easy to take advantage of Symfony bundles.
Cons: Big learning curve due to Sylius and Symfony together. Template overwriting could be better. Documentation is extend but could be more detailed.
"my experience with sylius is good however the query response is bad or sometimes even give no answer"
Overall: stability, scalability, security
Pros: They use symfony and as I work with that framework that is very helpful for a fast learning and implementation of solutions The bundles they use are the most stable and those that have developed are standard to what symfony uses. They have excellent documentation for the developer and plenty of help channels. They promote the framework very well and help to carry out projects from scratch of an online store My experience is very good and I do not use any other ecommerce solution since I use sylius, its installation is easy, it uses the most current technology that exists in the market in both backend and frontend, its demo store helps you to understand how the system works and allows in a short time to have a site ready to use. There is detailed documentation to implement Sylius's own bundles, using yarn makes the site much more dynamic and allows you to use current technology. The vast majority of code has been tested and the stable version is much faster and of great quality
Cons: The support to the client is not fast, sometimes they do not give answer or they directly send you to slack, should create a section FAQ
"I had to develop a dematerialized marketplace. I tried both Magento and sylius. Sylius won on every "
Pros: Built on top of symfony, it permit to leverage our knowledge of this wonderful framework. Thus, sylius is built with an amazing modular concept that let you customize it to your needs with very light touches. It is built with clean code principle so each class, each function is readable, simple, tested. Finally, the documentation is great because it attacks two angles : the documentation and the examples, so you're never lost. As a newcomer to symfony, I could have been lost, but with the high code quality and the great documentation, instead, Sylius helped me understand symfony better.
Cons: Sylius is built for selling physical goods so selling dematerialized items needed a lot of (easy) customization.
