This is an AspDotNetStoreFront related question:

I've been hesitating as to which version I should use for my ecommerce site: aspdotnetstorefront ML or ML/DNN. I do like some features dnn has to offer and originally I was thinking about using ML/DNN... but after some research I noticed that ML based sites seem to give a better performance compared to ML/DNN based sites.

I would rather sacrifice the dnn features in order to get a better performance. But if it does not make much difference regarding the performance between these two I'd like to use ML/DNN version.


I really need some help to make the decision. Any input is appreciated!

What did you end up doing odove? I'm kind of in the same situation where I'm comparing the two versions (ML vs ML/Dnn). The  product comparison chart has a lot of holes for the DNN version.  How is the support and DNN updates. What I'm really afraid of is spending all that dough and having the company treating the module like a secondary product.

Thanks to anyone who can provide any help!!!!

I'm not affiliated with any ecommerce apps - but I'd just like to add a small note to this thread - not specifically in reply to any particular post.

All of the full featured e-commerce packages for DNN are very complicated by design and nature.  The endless flexibility makes them difficult to understand without a lot of time and energy.   I have seen and heard a lot of people grumble about getting different e-commerce apps to operating stage.  All I would say is that you can't get a full-featured e-commerce store running in an afternoon, and that most of the DNN e-commerce modules tend to take a while to set up and configure.

What I am trying to say is this : e-commerce with integrated payment providers and real time shipping calculations, wish lists, secure certs, configurable products and order tracking is difficult to setup and takes time, no matter what the product.
