When you think of Open source, you are thinking of security, freedom to innovate, affordability, and a good ecosystem of developers and extensions. Vtiger CRM, the truly open source CRM, offers exactly these benefits.
Vtiger CRM is the leading open source CRM with over 5 Million downloads. With in-depth features and thousands of developers, Vtiger CRM has a marketplace with hundreds of plugins and over 400,000 businesses using it.
Open source primarily means that software source code is available, allowing the users to make the changes to the source to modify the functionality. Many different open source licenses differ in the restrictions imposed on the distribution of derived services and applications they build.
Often users mistake open source for free (no license fees). Open source affords the flexibility to modify source code, but the costs of hosting, maintaining, supporting, and upgrading the application push the overall cost to exceed the cloud-based CRM costs.
