Benefits of Open Source Software
- Reliability: Open Source Software (OSS) is some of the most reliable software in the world. The Internet was built on OSS (“Apache Web Server”).
- Stability: OSS provides stability through its community approach to development.
- Insecurities and bugs: commonly get fixed within days of being discovered.
- Audit-ability: Because you have the source code with you, you can audit and check the software for security or suitability to your needs.
- Cost: OSS is commonly license free, with a community of users and developers available for support.
- Flexibility & Freedom: Having the source code gives you the flexibility to change the software with your companies changing needs.
- Support and Accountability: OSS comes with infinite possibilities for support. Apart from the community of developers working on it, and the company that implemented it; because the source code is available there's never a company far away willing to provide paid for support to you.
- Better Functionality: Because of its open source nature, many popular OSS applications have armies of developers adding various functions to it that suit their needs. Just look at the Firefox web browser's growing list of add-ons.
