Not really... I work for a small consulting firm. We have no allegiance to any vendor and when we do requirements gathering and vendor selection projects, so the solution we pick is based on the customer's requirements not what we like. We don't implement any of the solutions we help gather requirements for or select so we have no horse in that race.
If you have a consultant in picking a product from a line of vendors and they implement one of those vendors' solutions then obviously it's in their best interest to pick something they can implement so they can upsell that.
