I've started learning enfinity suite and wonder if it's a good e-commerce solution. So far I've noticed that it's extremely heavyweight (as to me, who never worked with any ecommerce soft) and lacks qualified support.
P.S.: Answers of those who tried Enfinity before are greatly appreciated.
It's actually not, and here is why:
- no community at all (if to disregard paid support ^^)
- heavyweight
- slow (though, CPU usage is outrageous)
- contains a lot of redundant architectural approaches (this covers all layers)
- includes numerous self-implemented tiers (i.e. ORM) in stead of which open source ones could have been used more efficiently
- complex: learning curve is enormous
From a developer perspective:
- java code is being written quite rarely (even for core development, though it depends)
- doesn't have much to learn (no technologies, no complex architectural approaches except for those, caused by previous redundant development)
