Magento vs. Prestashop both are the best platform but it's important to know that which one fulfill your needs.

2. Magento and Prestashop both are great choices but of course both have their own strength
and weaknesses and it’s important to know that which CMS is best for you. Both are open-
source platforms biut after having a look at these points let’s see which one is the best.
 Features
 Performance
 Ease of Use
 Support
 Security
 Pricing

3. Magento is the king when it comes
to features. It’s a highly focused
platform that aims to arm the user
with all that is needed to build a
powerhouse of an online store
PrestaShop is a slacker in the features
department. From hundreds of templates
to an easy website builder and plenty of
payment gateway solutions, PrestaShop is
a great competition

4. Magento is known to suffer from
performance issues time to time. Users
and developers often complain that the
Magento backend tends to slow down
and often results in a slower website as
well
PrestaShop does not suffer from being a
heavy-duty CMS like Magento, and hence
will not slow down your website.

5. Magento, however, is a CMS that is
famous around the world and has a far
bigger community.
PrestaShop does not have an official
support team and you’d have to rely
completely on users and documentations.

6. PrestaShop and Magento are both designed to provide your store and your customers
robust security. As is with most major CMSs, security is not much of a concern because
there are all the standard security measures taken to ensure there is minimum risk for
buyers.

7. Magento is by no means a game for
beginners, and if anyone with no
knowledge or experience of using a CMS
tried their hand at it, they are going to find
it really, really complex. Even installing
Magento is a task that’ll challenge you a lot.
PrestaShop is relatively easy to install and
will not require you to have expert
knowledge of the platform.

8. Both platforms come at a price of zero, which means they should be in the good books of most
customers. However, as with most things in life, free stuff is never the best. While that is not
completely true for either CMS, you’d still have to incur costs in order to structure a successful
business.

9. In the end of this presentation I must say that both platforms are great and
have their own importance. However, it depends on you that which platform is
best and fulfill your needs. For More comparisons of other platforms with
