Magento 2 has an updated back-end interface that is simpler to manage then the current 1.9 version and is remarkably quicker in speed. It is estimated that Magento 2 is 20% faster. There is also a new user-friendly checkout process. This makes it easier for customers to quickly place and complete an order.
