disadvantages about open source software
I'm analyzing open source software market. I summed up several disadvantages about open source software. Please give me suggestions.
Thank u all.
1.Least competitive features
You may easily find popular backup software owns comprehensive features, such as backup& restore data, applications, settings and everything of whole PC, and support of popular operating system, and others. It means innovation is just what open source lacks.
2.Insufficient user experience
Three factors that lead software to success are feature, marketing, and public praise. Excellent software always highlights user experience, especially UI, but less organization could pay attention to user experience for the open source.
3.Dependent technology
Current backup open source has its unique character, such as the developer?s edition habit, and code selection. If there is no instruction from the developer, it is hard to public developers to understand it. Meanwhile, it also results in bad compatibility and less integration.
4.High maintenance cost
For repairing a bug, or changing some working process, you have to spend a lot of time to study many modules and modify many program interfaces.
