Oh, by the way thats what we do, so I have to answer this with we are the best in the business, so call us!

If your looking for Magento extension providers, you should consider looking outside the USA, as the best in this space in my opinion seem to be i nthe european market. If its a custom app or extension you need built you need look no further than our site, as we can certainly help you with this.

How do I launch a multi-vendor, e-Commerce website?

Multi-vendor sites add alot of complexity and can be very difficult to run, if you find your niche. The first thing you need to do is ensure its built properly, but assuming it is built already you are going to need your vendors in place and a good marketing plan. That said, if it not built yet, give us a call we have built many multi-vendor platforms.

Which is the best tool to measure customers behavior for my e-commerce website?

Great question, I say this because I couldnt tell you the exact answer on this. That said, we use google analytics and fullstory. This one gives you visuals so you can actually watch the users sessions and behaviour on your site. These are two that we use, there may be better, but they work easily and deploy easily.

Which is the top best E-commerce platform for creating online store?

My answer as always is going to be Magento, my second choice would be WooCommerce, and this is because these are opensource platforms that will allow you to grow and customize as you need to.

What are the benefits of using Shopify compared to other similar platforms?

Cost, this is probably the biggest one, when your talking about simialr platforms I am assuming you are talking about hosted, SaaS based platforms. The next runner up would be BigCommerce, but Shopify is certainly the leader in this space, that said, I personally never recommend Shopify because I am a big fan of OpenSource, however, if you want to talk about thier benefits, that would simply be COST. They can get the startups up and running quickly, you just have to be careful because I do not believe it is a platform your going to want to be on for the longterm.
