We had a large presentation from IBM about hyperledger (I work for a healthcare company) and it seemed like something our industry could really leverage. I was put on a team to research using it on an upcoming project. Once we started digging in and asking questions, it became apparent very quickly IBM wants to control everything from top to bottom. It's on their network, they build it, they maintain it, and there's not a lot of options outside of what they've already built. We had some very specific functionality we needed and were told by the IBM team it wouldn't be a problem. When we got down to delivery and talking actuals, they started to balk if they could even deliver what we really needed. After trying to nail several things down and not getting anywhere, we pivoted and are currently looking at other blockchain platforms. After reading your response, it sounds like we may have dodged a bullet and made the right choice.
