Limitations of default Magento

To run an online store and manage time and funds effectively, you need to have constant access to important statistics, while being able to process them quickly and correctly. Only deep analysis from advanced reports can help you thoroughly study customer behavior, see strong & weak points, and make prudent business decisions.

The default Magento 2 Reports extension offers basic features, but it’s still not ideal. When using default Magento, you’ll see the following drawbacks:

• Magento store’s default reports lack the feature for advanced statistical analysis

• It’s impossible to create a new layout of data reports

… and many more.
