A rough market investigation shows that start-up companies like to buy open sources software vendors such as Jaspersoft, Pentaho, Jedox Palo, and SpagoBI. Because they can negotiate on an equal footing, have a local presence and support benefits, as well as know-how for specific tasks or industries. Another advantage of open source providers is that they offer a free version as well as a commercial version of their software. However, their commercial version can often be purchased cheaper than that of the mostly providers. The difference between the free version and the paid version is in most cases in advanced features and professional support.
