Both our website consultant and one of the third-party module developers have recommended against upgrading to the newer Magento platform, advising that it wouldn't reduce any of the problems we have experienced.

Third-party modules have significant limitations.

Learned something about open database structures, about MVC-modelling, but lost a lot of unpaid time for debugging a little changes.
Pros
Beautiful templates available.
Cons
There is not only one way to reach a goal, but many - hence you need to search lots of places when you want to change a template or a functionality.

Moreover, Magento allows its users to automatically update their E-commerce websites and offers companies with solutions and an extensive support network.
Pros
Such valuable information helps them to improve their catalogs and marketing in the future.
Cons
Charges: No doubt Magento is great software but nothing comes for free, some of the features offered by Magento do not come for free and a subscription is required to gain access to them which seems to be pretty hefty unless the business is running successfully.

Great e-commerce CMS allowing for orderly product, vendor and client management.
Pros
Very rich in extensions and features almost making it impossible for developers to fail to meet their client's project scopes and expectations. Given that the multi vendor features are setup perfectly and are functioning as desired it gives a very stable system.
Cons
Seems to be difficult and slow to run from the localhost as it requires a powerful server. I think this can be considered by the software developer team to allow for better a localhost environment to allow for better testing before live production.
