Its not about FLOSS or closed software but the ease at which the software can be installed and maintained by the user company.
Closed software is an absolute nightmare to maintain.. Even installation of something like AV is a major hassle (as witnessed by me, as a spectator). Reinstall - clash with another AV - uninstall both - reinstall, no go - call up vendor - appear mumbling idiot - uninstall - reinstall - ....... 2 days to install AV. AND in the end problems with ERP. BTW the first AV was a licenced version which failed to prevent some worm or the other. And (funnily) an older employee remembered that the 2nd one (now reincarnated) was dumped because of the same reason.
what is AV? and how is your installation of AVsap going?
