Typically when discussing the requirments between the two it would depend on the business and what needs and budget that business has.
Woocommerce I always recommend to those with a budget of less than £15,000 and a smaller range of products and variations.
Likewise if there is going to be a need to customise or have special functions its worth weighing up those future needs, as Magento developement and custom addons cost alot more to purchase and to support than their Woocommerce equivalents.
Other aspects such as SEO, quaunty of products, PCI compliance requirements, card processing requirements all need to be considered so its often a case of assessing each case/store to come to the conclusion.
What platform are you siding with ? What do you think your main requirements budget ranges maybe ?

I have always been a WordPress man but that is because its all I have ever really known since I started out online. Do you have a questionnaire type post which might point newbies in the direction of the right software package for them?
A lot of small businesses going online for the first time wont have a clue where to look and which packages are best for them

I am not necessarily suggesting that WordPress is better than all of the other CMS on the market BUT no other CMS can even come near the array af plug-ins, designs, etc on the market for WordPress users. Obviously this is because it is open source but that element is as important as the CMS package in many ways.

Let's see. WordPress has been consistent all along these years and most businesses will trust it. On the other hand it seems to me, it has started lacking creativity and innovation as much as I respect their professionalism!

What I really couldn't get with the conventional website making providers such as the mentioned above is the new groundbreaking ideas that companies such as https://www.simplewebsitesfast.com/small-business-website-packages can only offer to the current market of professional website development as they are not only willing to go above and beyond to meet your expectations as a client, but they are a super young team that is open to ideas and suggestions in order to create the best domains you will ever see!
