Is Bitrix for organizations obligatory?

Question

1C-Bitrix

Hey!
Please advise on this issue.
I often hear that government agencies are required to have sites only on Bitrix. Is it so or is it and why?
Why not OpenSource. In fact, there is a license.
Substantial request.

Answer 1

No, just to cover your ass for an official - you need to use certified software.
Bitrix was one of the first to take care of its certification.
True, it was a long time ago - and, for sure, there are already other certified systems now.
And about 3 years ago - yes, there was no alternative to Bitrix in this sense.

Answer 2

It turns out that you can do at least on anything, but to cover the fifth point, it is enough to have the cheapest license in order to "show"? It is unlikely that they will be poking around in the code ...

Answer 3

Good afternoon Stanislav,
No, your statement is fundamentally wrong. No one obliges state and municipal institutions to buy Bitrix, the requirements for the purchase of software for state enterprises are regulated by the enterprises themselves.
Two factors play a role here:
1) All this must go through tenders. Well, not everything is straight forward, but most of it certainly goes through tenders. And this is where most systems fall off - in noname systems it is not clear how much can be cut off and where to wring out, but with simple systems like Bitrix it is obvious.
In addition, it is the points that are issued for everything in a row that play an important role - sites on the same platform, contractor works with the same state. institutions, specialized specialists (i.e. those that can be confirmed by diplomas, etc.). I'm not talking about who will eventually serve it, because it is not clear how it will be created.
2) And then the question arises in marketing - Bitrix is ​​​​very well promoted and a lot of sites have been made on it, including for the state. institutions.
Judge for yourself: you are the general director of MosGorChtoToTam and you need a website. What company, other things being equal (for simplicity, we consider so) will you choose:
- Bogatyr, with a portfolio: MinJust, MinStroy, MinKomSvyaz, Minselkhoz, FAS, MinObrNauki.
- Ivanushka, with a portfolio: Honey online store, Petya Petin's personal website, etc.
Of course, you will work with Bogatyr, because they already know the specifics of working with the state. institutions, have experience, etc.
