Method note
Every ranking answers one defined buying situation. The same five criteria are applied on every page, and a verdict is only as current as the date printed next to it.
Team size, sector, budget and existing systems decide what a good fit means.
Fit, ease of use for technicians, support, price clarity and implementation effort.
One pick per situation, a short verdict and the facts with a date next to them.
