Useful or not, it opens an extra attack vector on the server. Parsing logs is always a dangerous area from security perspective.

about the security issue, you're wrong: if you want to host it for your company, put it behind a VPN or defend the site with a password on the HTTP level. This prevents all attacks from outside.

The opposite. If you install opensource software on you own servers, and make it available only for your company's intranet, you are perfectly safe from outside attackers. Proprietary software can also exploited or they can just sell your data for bucks, when they are about to bankrupt.

Then you put on a great deal of risk in terms of owning your data, having unwanted changes in the product, or Google acquiring (and closing down) your service provider.

However, in practice, especially in old ages, language and culture relates quite closely to peoples. Inventions that make life easier, are the kind of things that spread relatively fast between civilizations.

This is the very bullshit the NSA wants you to eat. This is not a one-or-the-other situation.
