Very customizable, but very expensive.

Likeliness to Recommend

What differentiates Miva from other similar products?

Many built-in features that require either customization or add-on costs over competing carts.

What is your favorite aspect of this product?

Programing language that allows almost any options.

What do you dislike most about this product?

The cost model is based on gross revenue, which to me is an unrealistic approach to pricing.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

Weigh the cost vs features. For custom stores, make sure you get with a solid developer (there are a number of solid developers who can make Miva do what you need).

Less Caring
Leverages Incumbent Status

What do you dislike most about this product?

It was a high ticket investment for the size of our company and our initial launch into ecommerce.

What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?

If the budget is there, go for it. Be actively involved in all aspects of design and implementation. Knownwhat you want on the front end so less post launch customization needs to be considered.
