Magento 1 vs Magento 2

Why should you upgrade to Magento 2?

With the new upgrade available onboard, the support for Magento 1 will cease in June 2020. This is the most important reason why your business needs migration from Magento 1 to Magento 2 as soon as possible. This also implies that if you do not act immediately, your online business will have a great effect and can turn into a disaster. 

• As the support for Magento 1 ends, the sites that currently use Magento 1 will be left high and dry. They won’t disappear from the world wide web immediately, but they will be put at huge risk as Magento 1 will no longer be there to create security patches for them and your website is likely to end up with vulnerability to data collection and electronic data interchange.
• Also, if an upgrade is not made soon, you are likely to suffer hefty fines for inability to comply with the Payment Card Industry guidelines, increased support costs, and loss of reputation. 
• The exclusive access to Magento Marketplace extension development will be withdrawn removing your reach to the new Magento Commerce technologies and facilities. 
• Once Magento 1 is unsupported, it will affect your online transaction processing partner and as a consequence, they might stop processing your payments received from electronic funds transfer. 
• You will be burdened with additional costs of extension development to third parties as no Magento updates will influence your extension development process. 
• Magento 2 has improved the tech stack of Magento 1. So, migration to Magento 2 is not merely a data migration. It is a migration to an upgrade in technologies like NGINX, Varnish, Composer, Symfony, Redis and MySQL Percona 5.6.
• Further, Magento 2 is 50% faster, more mobile-friendly, admin easy to use, directly supports payment gateways, offers streamlined checkouts, security, and extension development.

The deadline is set and the clock is ticking. If an immediate migration is not taken, it may result in the impingement of your Magento permissions that can blow up your entire business intelligence. Shipment will get delayed, supply chain management will be hit hard, and you will be worst affected if yours is an international business. It is high time to accept the change, especially when the migration to the new upgrade offers so many pros over the existing version.
