I have an e-commerce project and have to choose between these two platforms. I hate WordPress and hated Magento 1. I kept running into really bad security issues with both. Also, with Magento 1, I was constantly having to clean the database because it would bloat up like crazy. I have since switched to the paid platforms because I don’t enjoy the backend side of things like managing servers and security.
However, I have a project that requires an open source platform.
My biggest fear is having to go through that nightmare again. The last thing I need is credit card data being hacked (again), database bloating, plug-ins crashing the site, having to update php versions, etc… I really don’t want to deal with all that but I have no choice.
I haven’t tried Magento 2. Have things gotten better? Will I experience the same issues? Am I better off on WordPress? Is there a lesser of two evils?
