Enterprise Readiness (25%) - Security, governance, scalability, and compliance capabilities
Ease of Implementation (20%) - Time to first integration, learning curve, and quality of visual builder
Pricing Transparency (15%) - Clarity of pricing model, value relative to capabilities, and total cost of ownership
Vendor Support (15%) - Quality of documentation, community resources, customer support, and professional services

Each tool is tested hands-on by our evaluation team with real-world integration scenarios over a minimum of two weeks.
