A great tool to help migrate off Magento
Without flaming, I am not alone in thinking that Magento is a truly terrible product. That having been said, this module does a good job of synchronizing product and catalog information between Drupal and Magento.
However we have found it's greatest strength as a tool to facilitate migration off Magento completely -- we are replacing it with Ubercart, which at this point seems far superior in most ways. By updating the product and category nodes with all the attributes, this module made it easy for us to move data into the Ubercart structures.
When we were using it with Magento, we found that if the XML-RPC connection failed (e.g. because of a bad password), it rendered the unhelpful "Failed to parse response" error, with very little other logging or debugging information, and this also broke several important elements of Magento. Debugging this cost us a great deal of money and time.
