Enjoy the Flexibility of Open-Source

Our open source products provide exceptional transparency. When all code is exposed for any party to review, you benefit from:

• Accessibility – There are literally no barriers to access. At all levels, the code is completely visible.
• Stability – Support from not only the vendor but the developer community results in a product that is exceptionally stable.
• Security – All users can monitor the code for bugs and hacks. Any vulnerability is quickly detected and corrected.
• Innovation – The freedom to customize in any area fosters innovation. Create original solutions or borrow from the ideas of others in the community.
• Scalability – When there’s no vendor lock-in, you can scale up and down to suit your needs.
• Ease of integration – Oro open-source code is more compatible with other business solutions than closed-source code. Build your own integrations or use those in the Oro extension store.
• Cost-effectiveness – Because you aren’t locked in with a single vendor for code, you can take full advantage of a competitive market for customizations and extensions or build them in-house.
• Customizability – Proprietary software constrains your ability to customize. When the source code is open, you can create any customization your business needs.

Oro applications are powered by a Symfony framework. This ecosystem brings creates a tech stack with benefits such as:

• Easy accessibility – Symfony is accessible to new and advanced users who find support within its community and from extensive documentation and SensioLabs training materials. It’s easy to work with the Oro framework.
• Continuous improvement and security – The 600,000+ Symfony developer community keeps the framework secure and always improving.

Oro only works with LTS versions, so you enjoy an additional layer of security and stability in the tech stack.

Oro applications are modular web applications created with PHP and leverage Doctrine ORM strengths. Oro open source solutions are built with a tech stack that delivers reliability, scalability, and responsiveness. Other tech stack benefits include:

• Web server compatibility – Oro applications are compatible with most web servers, including Apache and Nginx.
• Efficient data storage – Application data is stored in the PostgreSQL or MySQL relational databases.
• Efficient application caching – Redis data structure utilizes an in-memory dataset for high performance.
• Background processing – Asynchronous and integration processes handled in the background based on RabbitMQ message broker and scalable job consumers.
• Superior search – Elasticsearch allows fast, scalable, and highly customizable search index, fuzzy search support, and control over relevancy and field boost (weight).
