Adobe Commerce Cloud alternative
Adobe® Commerce Cloud isn’t built for the demands of growing businesses. Liquid Web is.
Is Adobe Commerce worth the money?
Compare Liquid Web enterprise Magento and entry-level Adobe Commerce Cloud.
Cloud
Only the squeaky wheel gets assistance
Adobe won’t fix problems that aren’t their fault. Especially if your issue stems from a third-party service or application.
That means those little issues that come up with Varnish or PHP will require more of your time. And for most businesses, time is money.
Liquid Web is here to help in any way we can, especially if it saves you time and money. Our 24/7/365 support team can help with backend configuration, troubleshooting conflicts, and software dependencies.
And unlike Adobe Commerce, Liquid Web won’t take days to respond. Your business goes to the front of the line, every time.
Prices scale faster than the platform
The initial cost of Adobe Commerce is a percentage of your annual revenue. If your business scales past your projected revenue, Adobe Commerce charges transaction fees to recoup their profit.
That’s on top of any “system overage fees” after a high-traffic sale or promotion. The hidden costs add up fast.
Liquid Web is a flat-fee enterprise hosting provider. With unlimited on-demand server tuning and resource allocation, you get everything you want from Adobe — without hidden fees.
We want to help you drive more revenue, not take advantage of your success.
The Adobe development snowball
Adobe Commerce Cloud has strict requirements on the backend software versions you use. If you want to use their platform, you may need to upgrade (or downgrade) software dependencies.
That means your development team may need to drop everything to meet Adobe’s requirements.
At Liquid Web, we do not — and will not — control the software versions you use. We strongly recommend up-to-date versions, but our platform supports legacy software.
If you do need to update your backend software, our elite Magento engineers can collaborate with your developers to make the process simple.
Scaling isn’t built into your servers
Adobe Commerce sets storage and daily vCPU limits at the outset. If you exceed capacity during a traffic surge, your contract requires you to buy extra infrastructure.
It’s not because your site needs it. It’s because Adobe Commerce Cloud needs it. A surprising amount of capacity goes to running the platform.
At Liquid Web, your servers power your needs — not our platform.
With features like autoscaling and expert monitoring, your resources scale up and down on demand. Load balancing is built-in, and we don’t throttle vCPU. Your servers are custom-built to fully scale your website and your revenue potential.
Liquid Web Magento lifts conversions for automotive OEM
Liquid Web Magento hosting scales faster and smarter than Adobe Commerce, saving one enterprise tens of thousands of dollars each month.
Your code is their next add-on
Adobe Commerce supports Magento modification, but there’s a catch. If they notice you’ve customized source code in a brilliant way, they have the right to monetize your work. Without giving you any credit whatsoever.
This is because their core objective is to make money. Personalized performance and privacy are secondary to their profits.
Liquid Web does not monitor how you use your application. Your code is private. Our core objective is to help your business make money, not the other way around.
Switch to a seamless enterprise solution
Migrating to Adobe Commerce can take months — even a year. At Liquid Web, you can expect a faster, streamlined solution.
Liquid Web migrations are handled personally by experienced professionals. Expect a white-glove experience with data transparency and minimal downtime.
The result? You go to market with the speed and agility you need, alongside the scalability you deserve.
Unethical business practice
Unethical business practice and poor customer service. As a result I have ceased talking to them about a $50,000 Magento implementation I was looking at
