Miva vs Adobe Commerce (Magento) Enterprise Power, Simplified

Flexibility is the focus for both Miva and Magento platforms. However, for growing B2B and DTC merchants, Adobe Commerce often demands extensive custom development, hosting management, and constant maintenance. Miva delivers the same level of sophistication and flexibility through a unified SaaS platform, empowering you to innovate faster, scale seamlessly, and focus on growth, not upkeep.

Adobe Commerce (Magento): Powerful, But Complex

Adobe Commerce offers deep customization and robust B2B functionality, but achieving and maintaining that power often requires extensive development, costly extensions, and ongoing infrastructure management. While it can be an excellent fit for organizations with large internal dev teams and high budgets, it's often overkill for businesses that want agility, simplicity, and lower total cost of ownership.
