It may be tempting to buy off-the-shelf software and get instant gratification, but if you treat the software as a magic box, you're setting yourself up for a plethora of security risks and other potential problems.
There's a reason why a good sysadmin commands a high salary -- he *understands* how things operate, and won't add anything until it's understood exactly how and why it does what it does. Increasing the salary of a bad sysadmin, outsourcing the job, or hiring more of them isn't going to give you that understanding.
