Most common complaint
Windows only, so it is out of the question for a team on Macs
Like the platforms it competes with, it asks for a form submission before naming a price
“Not checked” means exactly that: we have not verified it, not that the platform lacks it. Every other value was read off the vendor’s own pages on the date shown on each platform page.
What to ask on the demo
One question per platform, drawn from what actually goes wrong with it — not a generic checklist. Vendors run the demo; this hands the agenda back to you.
