Oxid Comparison Chart

English forums
1

Hi all, I’ve been reading and researching Oxid with great interest, and i am considering the move from our current ecommerce software to Oxid.

One thing i could not find is some sort of comparison chart between the free, professional, and enterprise versions. Is there one available?

To give a quick background of our requirements, we are a busy online cosmetic store, currently with around 60k (soon to increase dramatically) unique visitors a month. We run a dedicated server with 16gb ram and hexcore cpu.

One of our biggest requirements is the handling of product variants; we require a colour swatch for each variant. For example; a nail polish is one physical product, but it comes in 80 different colours. We also need stock control of each sku

I’m happy to buy the enterprise version if we need to, but need to understand what the main feature differences are between the products?

Would also be nice to know if memcache is available for the PE version? i think i read it was released for the EE version.

Lastly, are there any Australian business owners using Oxid? Would be nice to hear of your experiences with the product from an Aussie perspective; tying in GST, Australia Post, eWay etc.

Thank you,

Scott.

Hi Scott

Unfortunately there is no comparison chart available. I will give you a short overview:

  • CE and PE are the same, the only difference is that you won´t get any official support for the CE
  • Variants are not a problem, you could as well have multidimensional variants in all shop editions
  • The main difference from CE/PE and EE is the possibility to have several subshops with individual frontend, but managed in one backend. Enterprise Edition as well has rights and roles for backend-users. And - as you already found out - Caching, Master/Slave, Varnish are features in EE only.

You could try to contact Don from Adelaide for more info about using OXID down under:

Hi Hebsacker, thank you for the reply. Can i ask, is it possible to assign an image to each variant as in this example; http://www.crushcosmetics.com.au/lips/lipstick/nyx-round-lipstick

Secondly, is it possible to purchase more advanced caching methods for PE? Sqlite, or paying to unlock memcache would be very valuable.

Thank you,

Scott.

Yes, you can assign unique images to each variant.

No, you can not buy single features from EE for a PE - but there are other ways to achieve more performance for a PE as well.

One more important differce between CE/PE: SOAP-Interface is only availiable for PE!

Yes, but we are talking about the SOAP interface made by OXID - there are other possibilities to have an interface for CE as well of course. It´s all about “make or buy” - sometimes it is easier and cheaper to take existing solutions, sometimes its better to make a new one.
