Why are you restricted to these packages? Are they just what you know,
and you're not prepared to learn anything else, or does your company
madate you use just these and nothing else, or is your computing
platform just so weird nothing else will run on it.

Can't be cost - there are just so many great open source packages for
doing just about anything.
