Magento is completely open source, and this means that not only is free, but can be adapted to your needings. Magento is also a framework, and this means the his customization capabilities go well beyond pure eCommerce functionalities. For this reason, if you need to create something different from the standard "eCommerce website", you should evaluate this product.

Magento was open source and customizable unlike Shopify. Also it was built using PHP which everyone was proficient in - which helps a lot! Joomla wasn't as e-comerce oriented under the hood compared to Magento - plus we had someone in the team who knew Magento well already as it was used by their previous company and many companies within our sphere of VC startups.

In looking at a different platform to migrate to from Magento 1, we looked primarily at Big Commerce, Shopify and Shopify Plus. Our host was very negative about Magento 2, but we determined after a couple years it was due to the fact it had even more complexity (and very different) than Magento 1. Shopify Plus was attractive, but the cost factor for two sites led us back to Magento 2.

Magento vs PrestaShop
Magento is good for big-scale projects that require a lot of features or a lot of custom development. PrestaShop is a good, lightweight platform that can handle most e-commerce use cases. When it comes to which is easier to use, especially for non-tech savvy users, PrestaShop is definitely easier to use. When it comes to the number of add-ons, Magento has more open-source ones. Also, Magento is better for custom development.

Magento vs WooCommerce
WooCommerce would be better in my opinion for smaller e-commerce online stores or stores that have a simpler use case. WooCommerce can become a bit of a mess when you start adding all the different plugins, as you'll probably need them since it lacks a lot of features. Magento would definitely be a better choice when looking at security, best practices, and easy integration with many add-ons.
