Conclusion •  TCO per feature for your use case over 3-5 year duration

•  One size (elephant) doesn't fit all

•  Business Flexibility – Scale up/down linearly on demand

•  Comprehensive Security, Enuf said! •  Multi Model platform, which isn't niche

Avoid arbitrary preferences for (or against) OSS based on ideology or unproven and wishful thinking expectations; instead, consider OSS on the merits of the software compared with the alternatives (closed source or homegrown), based on fitness of purpose, quality, and sufficient technical and legal risk management (self-supported or third party).
