When our product is not the best choice
If what you need is a marketplace of ready-made themes for every taste and thousands of plugins for every occasion — take WordPress, it is stronger there. If you run a large retail operation tightly coupled to 1C with a team used to the platform, Bitrix is justified. We are for those who value predictability, self-sufficiency and the absence of recurring payments.
Self-sufficiency is something you can check
This is not a slogan: open the Network tab in your browser and look at where the requests go. A site on NEXUM-CORE makes not a single one to an outside address.
