I think DIY is the best route. While some corporations are willing to risk having their data exposed (FB/Cambridge Analytical et al. ) and others can pay the financial price for having their data seen by others, it always boils down to what you want to deal with more (or less)....the amount of times you'll have to explain how some cloud provider screwed up?....or the reliance on your own backups...on your own schedule..and secured through means which fall a little more under your control.
Just sayin'...
