Asterisk is really immature but many commercial solutions isn't just flexible enough. Or just won't work.

I have negative experience dealing with commercial wap gateway by LogicaCMG (superseded by kannel - http://kannel.org) and Alcatel's PBX which cannot be easily replaced because of it being complete solution (with alcatel' phones).

Telecom industry progressing very slowly and traditionally keeping very high prices on everything. Even immature asterisk, or more promising project like yate can beat almost any commercial pbx in almost any aspect.
