Migrating from Magento 1 to Magento 2 is a big concern for many of our clients and the most often questions are:

• “Is Magento 2 stable?”
• “Should we migrate Magento 1 to 2?”
• “When is the correct time for Magento 2 migration?”
• “Can we run our website permanently on Magento 1?”

After trying all the versions till now with our experience with Magento 2 we can say now is the best time to migrate to Magento 2 from Magento 1. About 2 years ago, Magento 2 was quite unstable with the irrelevant number of ready-made themes and extensions Magento 2 has seen its noticeable improvements over time especially on the latest version Magento 2.2.5 (released on 27th June 2018). Currently, Magento 2 is not only stable but it also gives an impressive performance with a wide range of features. Hence, there is no valid reason for not upgrading to Magento 2 now if you can afford the Magento migration cost.

Take a note:

You can keep running your Magento 1 website in the short-term but in the long-term, there is a possibility that you might come across some hidden threats such as:

• Due to the outdated design and performance, you can be left behind by your rivals.
• Limited help will be provided from Magento Community
• No more patches and platform enhancements.
• It will be difficult to get any support from Magento 1 Module developers or providers.
• Magento officials will not give any free support for your current store.

Conclusion: Migrating to Magento 2 will not disappoint since it delivers a much better website from design to functionality. Anytime which is not a holiday season is best for migration.
