PHP Safe_Mode = OFF concerns?

Hello. I use linux and cpanel. There is some software that I would really like to install on my server for my customers. Unfortunately, one of the requirements is that PHP be set to "Safe_Mode = OFF".

I'm reluctant to do anything that will weaken my server's security. But don't know enough about this setting specifically. Is it okay to use? What should I be concerned about? And is there a way to use the setting without weakening the server?

Thanks for any help/education on this issue.
