Many companies now use free open-source tools. But paid software often comes with better support. Do you think open-source is the smarter option?

It depends on the particular software you are using and your own individual requirements. Sometimes open source software has strong community support and has better support than paid software equivalents.

True. I use WordPress open source software and I find it the best CMS ever when it comes to building websites and blogs. Support is fine, updates are frequent and you can almost do anything. Companies too use this software and they are proudly making making by installing the same to client websites.
