Magento 2 vs Shopify Plus
by Mariable P. SEOMagento Commerce Cloud (then called Magento Enterprise Cloud Edition) was launched in April 2016. It promised to bring in a new era of ecommerce by combining Magento’s flexibility, features, architecture, and ecosystem with cloud computing.
“Magento Enterprise Cloud Edition defines the post-SaaS commerce platform era. It’s a first-of-its-kind in-market solution and a major differentiator in the broader Magento product portfolio,” said Mark Lavelle, CEO of Magento Commerce. “With this new platform running on AWS, we ensure that our merchants have the agility to respond to a rapidly changing environment, can continuously deploy innovations, easily scale to meet unexpected demand and don’t have to worry about the day-to-day management of infrastructure.”
Shopify Plus was launched in February 2014. At the time of the release, the platform propelled Shopify into a new area of enterprise ecommerce.
“Our core demographic has always been small to medium-sized businesses,” said Harley Finkelstein, Chief Platform Officer, Shopify. “With Shopify Plus, we broaden our customer base to include merchants who want a more customized product offering, without the price tag and long delivery time frames of existing enterprise offerings.”
