Anyone can fix bugs or upgrade the code, without relying on a proprietary vendor.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Better quality<\/strong>&#8211; Similarly, with more developers poring over the code, open source is typically considered to have fewer flaws and better quality than the standard, commercially developed software.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>More control<\/strong>&#8211; Many people prefer open source because they have more control over the code or the ways they can use it. Proprietary software is fully controlled by its developers. In contrast, all those who use it control open source software. This makes it easy to customise and tailor the product for your exact needs and purpose.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>No vendor dependence<\/strong>&#8211; With open source, you are not locked into a relationship with a particular software company. As the code is out in the open, you are free to take your business elsewhere to find the support you need, when you need it.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Easier licence management<\/strong>&#8211; If you&#8217;re using proprietary software, you must make sure that all your servers, desktops or laptops have the right type and number of commercial licences.
