Steven this has been the experience of many corporates as theyrise the   ladder 
of visibility. Indeed from an operations security perspective proprietary 
solutions end up being cheaper and secure making corporates migrate to 
proprietary ones. 

However, if the desire is to just collect data fir value added analytics it's 
best to retain the open source dynamic. Proper planning always guides the best 
model to use.
