Why are there so many remote sites on Bitrix?

Question

Distant work

Now I was looking at remote projects, I noticed that if there are 60-80 of them on django / symfony, where a senior is most often required, then on bitrix they are under 400. What is the reason for such popularity of Bitrix, and is there any point in doing them?

Answer 1

Very strong marketing.
For the sake of interest, I somehow wanted to make one order on Bitrix, there everything needed to be finalized by the component. When viewing the code of the future project, I was stunned. Everything was in one component, namely in one of its files: routing, controllers, models, views. It was so pathetic that I wanted to cry and laugh. This crap was not worth that money, and my acquaintance with Bitrix ended.

Answer 2

Because Bitrix sms is number one in popularity among paid solutions in Russia

Answer 3

"Why is there so much work as an animator on matinees and so few roles of Hamlet? When I went to the theater, I imagined it differently ..."
That's about why.
Professional clowns, of course, will tell you that matinees are a stable income, and leave Stanislavsky at home. It is important for them to persuade themselves that money does not smell and vomiting from the results of their own work is normal ... let's not interfere with them.

Answer 4

For the second year we have been trying to put the boxed version of Bitrix on its feet.
This is not CMS - but simply horror.
Bitrix Disk mercilessly destroys files. When connected via WebDav 9/10, files stupidly become 8kb and you can put an end to this. Before each update of the system, you can go and light a candle in the church, since custom fields are not alien to developers, and because of them the base lays down like a stone.

Answer 5

Because Bitrix is ​​a great solution for small and medium-sized businesses. Yes, it is paid, but it immediately covers most of the needs, developing something like this from scratch will be many times more expensive. Finding a partner for support is not a problem at all, and thanks to the developer certification system, the level of these partners is approximately clear.
If you suddenly quarrel with the current artist, you can always find another one.
Also, many, realizing that the services of agencies are too expensive for them, hire programmers on the staff. And again, if your company has nothing to do with IT, then how will you understand that your new (first) developer is smart? And if a person has both paid Bitrix certificates, then he will complete most of the typical tasks without problems, and so the next person who supports this will not have their eyes explode.
From a technical point of view, everything is really sad there. Now they seem to have taken the right course, but the legacy of 2003 is still visible to the naked eye.
But the platform is chosen not by the programmer, but by the client. And the client needs less hemorrhoids, everything works, and there is someone to ask if something happens (Bitrix TP, a priority for paying customers). That's all.
And to compare the advantages of Django and Wordpress (conditional) to a client far from all this, nafig did not give up.
And vacancies on frameworks are most likely teamwork on large projects, where remote workers are treated with distrust.

Answer 6

Now I was looking at remote projects, I noticed that if there are 60-80 of them on django / symfony, where a senior is most often required, then on bitrix they are under 400.

Because Django/Symfony are frameworks.
And Bitrix is ​​a CMS.
There is always more work on the CMS, it's more mass market because it's cheaper (easier, faster) work.
Frameworks are for less standard (on average) tasks for which there are no ready-made solutions, like CMS. Which implies large volumes of work, more qualified work. Which is longer and more expensive. But, of course, fewer customers.
and is there any point in doing them?
More demand - then more supply - then competition among performers.
This is only your personal business - if you can find orders for Bitrix, then you are lucky.
If you can't, well, you're out of luck. However, who said that you will be lucky with Janga or Symphony?
hatman ,
I can repeat:
They pay a lot when there is still more demand, but there are no specialists yet .
As long as the court is the case, as long as you study, the salaries will be the same level.
Bitrix is ​​just a CMS.
That is, initially a quick-cheap solution to customer problems.
On the other hand, it's not so much about salaries, but about your ability to find customers. This has nothing to do with the instrument at all (unless, of course, you don’t get involved in complete exoticism).
