However, Magento also has some disadvantages you need to pay attention:

• Normally Magento controls pages and it only creates simple pages such as About us, Terms of uses, Contact us or Copyright. If you want to develop blogs, you have to set up extensions. It is a disadvantage about CMS of Magento.
• Being Magento a very robust system to run properly also requires a more robust server, large disk space and memory which is usually available in VPS, Dedicated Server or Cloud Server
• The most negative aspect I see in Magento, is that even if you meet the requirements of robustness server, there is still a risk of the system being slow depending on the database which may affect your search engine rankings as page loading speed is one of the most important factor of Google algorithm.
