Avoid VM if possible



Posted on 16 February 2017
Functionality
Nothing unique or appealing, just a store, not the most convenient backend at that.
Ease of use
I have no idea how people without any coding skills can set up and run a store on VM. Things don't work as they should, it's a nightmare!
Support
Documentation
General stuff only, as if people who wrote it never actually used VM for a real store
I used this to: A client's store, the only one on VM out of 10 on other platforms, and it's the worst experience!

Good for me

No Longer a Good Option



Posted on 31 October 2016
Functionality
Unfortunately Virtuemart has become very bug riddled over the years and the functionality has suffered.
Ease of use
The interface is no longer user friendly like other options around.
Support
Zero support from being free makes it near impossible to fix this outdated piece of software.
Documentation
The documentation is often confusing and not related to some items that have changed over the years.
I used this to: Multiple stores over the years and it has now got to the stage it just needs to be torn apart and rebuilt from scratch. It does not work without fixing bugs constantly.
