While I haven't seriously looked at third-party support, the one critical piece that seems to be missing is access to software patches. Those have unfortunately proven to be crucial for me to be able to keep our Production DBs afloat, and I don't even generally apply CPUs/PSUs. It also impacts "free" Oracle software like EM12c, where the upgrade to 12.1.0.5 requires patch 11061801.
Perhaps patching is a question that needs to be asked of the support vendors you interview.
GL!
