Magento and Prestashop

[ubaldo.gulotta]

I have used Prestashop and now I would like to learn to use Magento. What do you think about Magento?
Is Magento a good ecommerce when I must import products with csv file?
Is there an hosting provider to learn to use Magento (only like try, not for using)?

Thanks very much

Not recommended. Go with another shopping cart.

They live on you having problems and needing help from them. That's why it's rather hard to customize Magento. The time and money you would need to spend will soon overwhelm the seemingly powerfulness of it.

Neither go with Magento Go (http://www.kavoir.com/2011/09/magento-go-test-drive-review.html). It's essentially a mess. I got NOTHING by spending over $100 there. Zero support. Read these reviews AND comments:
