Are there closed-source alternatives which fare any better?

Really enjoyed the presentation, Gian. I can see it saving huge swathes of time for people looking at similar problems.
At the moment I'm working at a large UK organisation which is looking to replace large-scale log processing infrastructure with a more generic event processing solution. I fear they may choose a costly closed source solution just because that's what enterprises do, though I know that Kafka etc are in the mix. Clearly their particular requirements are different from yours, but I wonder: are the shortcomings you've highlighted in the open source stable addressed by anything in the closed source world, to your knowledge, or do they reflect the state of play in large scale event processing in general?
