What to Expect From Future Versions of Magento

It is fair to say that the ecommerce web development world was not particularly surprised when Adobe–a world leader in creative design software, known for tools such as Photoshop and InDesign–announced that it had acquired the ecommerce platform Magento for the price of $1.68 billion in 2018. In fact, some commentators mentioned that Adobe had been attempting to acquire an ecommerce platform for some time, having previously tried and failed to acquire other, similar tools.

It is fair to say that the ecommerce web development world was not particularly surprised when Adobe–a world leader in creative design software, known for tools such as Photoshop and InDesign–announced that it had acquired the ecommerce platform Magento for the price of $1.68 billion in 2018. In fact, some commentators mentioned that Adobe had been attempting to acquire an ecommerce platform for some time, having previously tried and failed to acquire other, similar tools.

Reactions to the news were mixed, with some experts speculating that the acquisition would have a disproportionately negative impact on small and medium-sized business owners, perhaps even pricing them out of the Magento market. Others, meanwhile, predicted that the acquisition would be an overall positive, associating Magento with a household name in the software world and giving the platform the benefit of Adobe’s wealth of knowledge and experience.

The announcement had almost immediate repercussions on the stock market, with Adobe’s stock price rising and competitor Shopify’s dropping.&nbsp;

But what’s the verdict? Five years later, how has the Adobe acquisition affected Magento and has it made the platform better or worse as a whole?

One of the biggest selling points of Magento since its inception has been that it was offered as an open source ecommerce platform, meaning that its source code was available for anyone to view, modify, use, and distribute free of charge. This open-source model allowed a huge community of developers and users to contribute to the platform, creating their own extensions, themes, and integrations. It also made ecommerce more affordable, accessible, and flexible for many small business owners.&nbsp;

When Adobe acquired Magento, some expressed concerns that the platform might become more closed given that Adobe is primarily known for offering its tools on the software-as-a-service (SaaS) basis. Would Adobe shut down Magento’s open source offering and begin charging all users for the platform?&nbsp;

However, these fears did not come to pass. Adobe Commerce still offers Magento Open Source (formerly Magento Community) for free, just as it was prior to the acquisition. Though Adobe also launched a paid version known as Adobe Commerce (more on that in a minute), over 80% of Magento sites still use the free open source version as of late 2022.

Adobe Improved Magento Open Source’s Capabilities

Adobe has been true to its commitment to honor Magento's open source roots, and has continued to release new versions of the open source platform and improve upon its features and functionalities.&nbsp;

In the years since the acquisition, Magento’s open-source community of users, developers, and enthusiasts has remained strong. This means that no matter what aspect of your Magento store setup, development, or management you are struggling with, someone out there has faced the same issue and is willing to help you.

As well as retaining and improving Magento Open Source, Adobe also launched Adobe Commerce (formerly known as Magento Commerce), a paid version of the platform aimed at larger store owners and developers.&nbsp;

core/list

<ul><li>Adobe Commerce offers many more built-in features and functionalities out of the box, while Magento Open Source requires more knowledge of coding (or an experienced Magento developer to support you)&nbsp;</li><li>Adobe Commerce includes official support from Adobe in its pricing</li><li>Adobe Commerce includes built-in integrations with other Adobe products, such as Adobe Experience Manager and Adobe Analytics, while Magento Open Source requires additional work to set up these integrations&nbsp;</li></ul>

Having more choice can only ever be a positive thing in the competitive world of business. Magento Commerce has a significant cost attached–it can start from around $22,000 per year and go all the way up to around $190,000, depending on your revenue–but for those businesses it serves, it is an excellent and comprehensive platform.

Like many of our colleagues across the industry, we had our concerns when Adobe announced it would be acquiring Magento. We were particularly concerned around what it would mean for the thousands of small and medium-sized businesses that ran their stores through Magento.&nbsp;

However, overall we believe that the acquisition has been a highly positive thing for Magento, which remains the <a href="https://monogo.us/blog/is-magento-the-best-ecommerce-platform-out-there/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">best ecommerce tool</a> on the market in our opinion, as well as for its vast community of users. Adobe has retained and improved upon the best features of Magento Open Source and added an additional solution for its enterprise clients, while the community around this popular tool remains as strong as ever.
