What is the main difference between hmc and backoffice?

Question

As I know working in hmc is better than working in backoffice .Then why in hybris 6.0 , hmc is deprecated ?

Answer 1

Find bellow the main differences between HMC and Backoffice from the official demo of Hybris :

Actually most of this new features are transparent to public users, but they are very interesting to developers.

Personally, I like Backoffice because it's so extensible and highly customizable, it possess a very rich library of widgets and so easy to create and customize your own widgets, it support AngularJS and Application Orchestrator which is much preferable over than the old ZK framework ...

HMC is already deprecated and it's de-release is planned for 2018.

Answer 2

I guess the main purpose is to get rid off all other cockpits for business employees leaving only one with different perspectives and more customizable widgets. The idea itself looks good. But purely for admin/developer purposes backoffice is still looks worse, more laggy and less convinient than hmc. No right mouse button. You cannot even open several popups and freely switch between them, since only the last one is always active. For business users it is supposed to be ok, but for the admins/developers it will be nightmare.
