Prestashop
1 – Simple architecture and powerful platform .
2 – Less community support cos prestashop is not as popular as magento . Market place of the prestashop is not good , most of the modules are paid and they dont allow developers to put any module . They only allow modules which they like . That is most pathetic part .
3 – Brilliant response from magento team members . Almost every email and twitter message replied .
4 – Prestashop is less resource hungry but less functional as compare to magento .
