Advantages over Open Source

Open Source Software for both content management systems and ecommerce sites has become very popular and has provided the inspiration for the datasite platform. It has some great benefits but also some very clear disadvantages

Datasite is not an open source product but offers all the functionality of packages such as Magento, Jumula, Drupla & OS Commerce and still allows third party additional development (if required) via our Open Source API

Detailed below are the main reasons why we believe datasite is a better solution for your business than a traditional open source product

1. Hosted Solution - no need to worry about hardware or third party hosting
2. Support - is direct with the developers
3. Compatability - no issues with upgrades causing issues with bespoke work
4. Experience - open source enable inexperienced designers to offer complex systems - datasite ensures designers design
5. Flexibility - we control the source code and can provide the best solutions rather than work arounds
