Most common complaint
Windows only, so it is out of the question for a team on Macs
Only the floor of the base package is published; everything else is quoted
Several units are metered at once: bandwidth, storage, video units and seats
The MAU model favours occasional users, but there is no figure to verify that with

“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.

IMatch Windows only, so it is out of the question for a team on Macs — ask them to answer this in writing before the trial.
IntelligenceBank Only the floor of the base package is published; everything else is quoted — ask them to answer this in writing before the trial.
ImageKit Several units are metered at once: bandwidth, storage, video units and seats — ask them to answer this in writing before the trial.
Frontify The MAU model favours occasional users, but there is no figure to verify that with — ask them to answer this in writing before the trial.
