The nice thing about Zen Cart is the development team places a high priority on security. Another nicety is it is sort of light-weight, compared to Magento, and is currently more broadly supported by your run-of-the-mill web host.
Zen Cart still has a some advantages over Magento in various areas, including broad support from web hosts who want to max the number of users schlepped on a single server, but, in my humble opinion, Zen Cart dropped the ball and are quickly becoming the irrecoverable past. Magento is looking like the future to MisterOriginal.
Conclusion:
Both Zen Cart & Magento are all having lots of users. I’ve tried to use the 2 kinds of applications and I found zen cart are more powerful features than Magento. Indeed, they’re all very good applications. If you’d like to select one application from them. I think it’s better to start with Zen Cart. Of course, you can determine with the application with your requirements.
