Silius is the best e-commerce framework I have had the opportunity to work with. It allows delivering the same functionalities in comparison to competing for Magento type platforms even twice as fast. Sylius is even created for development and maintenance.
It is very flexible, there is no technological debt compared to other solutions, it is based on Symfony in which it is easy to find developers.
The entry threshold is quite high. It requires a developer to work, you can't click a shop like in other platforms.

Again: Scale, Power, and Customizability. This platform used properly can take on big Cyber Monday campaigns and delivery with ease (and the right server model); it is ready for larger scale deployment and perform under heavy traffic/load.
Scalability and Customizability above all else is Sylius' strength. Because if its adherence to the Symfony framework, Sylius draws on not just one but two powerful developer communities. As a result you get a complete customize application model you can add to, customize; and not just on the front end (that's easy!). When you need to customize administration, you can; when you need to customize the data model, you can; when you need to add warehouse inventory integration with 3rd party platforms, you can; when you need to add Business Intelligence reporting platforms ..... yes, you can.
There is nothing I "least" like. This is a platform for developers first and foremost. It does not try to be all things to all people, it gets done what Square and Shopify cannot - gets you ecosystem-level granular management. Not drag and drop look-it's-so-easy type of development. Way beyond that.

Advance and strong framework and deep personalisation level.
Perfect for development, endless possibilities to personalise every aspect of the system and add your own plugins. Easy to take advantage of Symfony bundles.
Big learning curve due to Sylius and Symfony together. Template overwriting could be better. Documentation is extend but could be more detailed.

stability, scalability, security
They use symfony and as I work with that framework that is very helpful for a fast learning and implementation of solutions The bundles they use are the most stable and those that have developed are standard to what symfony uses. They have excellent documentation for the developer and plenty of help channels. They promote the framework very well and help to carry out projects from scratch of an online...
The support to the client is not fast, sometimes they do not give answer or they directly send you to slack, should create a section FAQ

Built on top of symfony, it permit to leverage our knowledge of this wonderful framework. Thus, sylius is built with an amazing modular concept that let you customize it to your needs with very light touches. It is built with clean code principle so each class, each function is readable, simple, tested. Finally, the documentation is great because it attacks two angles : the documentation and the examples, so you're never lost. As a newcomer to symfony, I could have been lost, but with the high code quality and the great documentation, instead, Sylius helped me understand symfony better.
Sylius is built for selling physical goods so selling dematerialized items needed a lot of (easy) customization.

Sylius is our #1 choice for eCommerce clients. It is far better than Magento, it's competition. It seems like it was designed to solve the problems of today's eCommerce, not the ones we had 10 years ago.
The code quality, flexibility and strong open source background (especially Symfony framework)
Some parts are not out of the box, however they can be easily installed via open source plugins or developed in no time.

Sylius is a fantastic solution, and can easily go toe-to-toe with other open-source solutions on the market.
The codebase of Sylius is clean and easily extendable. We have easily transitioned to it, and are loving developing solutions with it.
The state machine takes a bit of getting used to, but once you understand it and how to extend it, it's quite straightforward.

A simple to configure E-Commerce platform that I can use with multiple clients.
Sylius is extremely flexible thanks to it's Symfony based architecture. I also appreciate how easy it is to create themes.
Sometimes documentation can be a little mixed up, i.e. docs assume you know almost as much as the original developers about structure of application.

I can reuse my existing knowledge and get an ecommerce project off the ground quickly, while abstracting away much of the complexity that comes with trying to implement custom ecommerce solutions from scratch, or with a hodge-podge of unrelated packages.
I like that it is very open and accessible for customization using the same workflow and technologies I'm used to using Symfony, Doctrine, and Twig.
It's hard to pick at any cons of Sylius, but the largest one is that it doesn't seem to be very popular yet and is only at version 1.0, which it still ships with a very feature rich ecommerce platform to build with.

- The setup process - The most important features are already there for a B2C Shop - The current Api Focus is the best decision Sylius has done imho
No cons were added to this review
