Open source software provides a community-based approach to software development where anyone can modify and distribute code. This is unlike proprietary software where intellectual property restrictions apply. Some key benefits of open source software include lower costs since it is often free, avoidance of vendor lock-in, flexibility in deployment without licensing restrictions, and adaptability to customize features to specific needs. Open source software also faces less risk of obsolescence since the community continues to develop and improve it over time.

Benefits of using Open Source Software (OSS)
Introduction Open-source software provides a community approach to software development; where anyone can copy, modify, distribute and develop through them. This is contrary to the patent and organised market where all the codes and themes are under intellectual property. For you to have a better understanding Pixelcrayons has come up with stating few benefits of Open Source Softwares. 1. Costs are less. The software acquisition cost for OSS are relatively low, if not free, thanks to them for doing excessive branding and marketing for them. 2. Avoid vendor lock-in. Firms do not love to be strangled by their vendors. here you get a vendor who takes care of your needs and fetches solution to them on timely basis. This also allows people to have freedom and a choice of their own. 3. Flexibility of deployment. Without licensing process, companies can respond swiftly to changing market dynamics and meet development and scalability needs at no cost.
Benefits of OSS 4. Adaptable to needs. Unlike the fixed specifications of the branded softwares, the OSS allows you to rope in your features into the software through customisation. The option of development of ‘Hybrid app’ and ‘Native app’ with PixcelCrayons make this all the more easy for firms to choose between the two rather sticking to one option. 5. No threat of Obsolescence. Since, this is a community based service you always have minds that keep it revitalising. What you can do is, you can choose a basic solution and then you can develop its better versions and use it. 6. Perception. Well, every coin has two faces.

Being a community based service there are pool of ideas that keep on pouring in from all quarters to develop the given product into its better form.
Conclusion Quality. Being a community driven, it leads to more reliable and secure code. testing and bug removal happens quickly as the users are themselves developers. There is a scope of continuous improvement in the coding because experts and quality norms are fed by peers across the panel. This is totally customizable, you can also upgrade it yourself, if you don't linke a given feature. Conclusion The success of the OSS platform is not new.
