Where extra evaluation is still needed
Tradeoffs are visible on the tool page so the user does not have to wait for a comparison page to see them.
- The strongest fit is narrower than broad marketing copy usually suggests.
- Pricing and scaling limits still need verification directly on the vendor site.
