Co-Founder Internet Used the software for: 2+ years ### "It's future of eCommerce" February 1, 2019 5.0 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.

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. Alternatives considered [CS-Cart Store Builder](https://www.capterra.com/p/212372/CS-Cart-B2B-B2C/) Reason for choosing Sylius Scale, Power, and Customizability others couldn't compare with Switched from [Shopify](https://www.capterra.com/p/83891/Shopify/) Original platform could not manage scale and data level customization for full inventory management across warehouses and locations in real time.

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.

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 Review Source Bruno D.

Sylius won on every " October 10, 2017 5.0 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. Review Source Mikołaj K.

It is far better than Magento, it's competition. It seems like it was designed to solve the problems of today's eCommerce, not the ones we had 10 years ago. Pros The code quality, flexibility and strong open source background (especially Symfony framework) Cons Some parts are not out of the box, however they can be easily installed via open source plugins or developed in no time. Review Source Alexander R. Lead Developer Internet Used the software for: 1-2 years ### "The future of PHP eCommerce" February 19, 2019 5.0 Sylius is a fantastic solution, and can easily go toe-to-toe with other open-source solutions on the market. Pros The codebase of Sylius is clean and easily extendable. We have easily transitioned to it, and are loving developing solutions with it. Cons The state machine takes a bit of getting used to, but once you understand it and how to extend it, it's quite straightforward. Review Source Zachary B. Founder Internet Used the software for: 6-12 months ### "Sylius is one of the best Open Source E-Commerce softwares on the market" October 10, 2017 5.0 A simple to configure E-Commerce platform that I can use with multiple clients. Pros Sylius is extremely flexible thanks to it's Symfony based architecture. I also appreciate how easy it is to create themes. Cons Sometimes documentation can be a little mixed up, i.e. docs assume you know almost as much as the original developers about structure of application. Review Source GD Ghaith D.

Frontend-/Application Developer Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "Pretty easy setup process and rapid time to market" October 10, 2017 5.0 Pros \- The setup process - The most important features are already there for a B2C Shop - The current Api Focus is the best decision Sylius has done imho Review Source BF Brett F. Developer Computer Software Used the software for: Less than 6 months ### "I'm new to using Sylius and am still learning, but my overall experience has been amazing." October 10, 2017 4.0 I can reuse my existing knowledge and get an ecommerce project off the ground quickly, while abstracting away much of the complexity that comes with trying to implement custom ecommerce solutions from scratch, or with a hodge-podge of unrelated packages. Pros I like that it is very open and accessible for customization using the same workflow and technologies I'm used to using Symfony, Doctrine, and Twig. Cons It's hard to pick at any cons of Sylius, but the largest one is that it doesn't seem to be very popular yet and is only at version 1.0, which it still ships with a very feature rich ecommerce platform to build with.
