It changed hands in March 2026, so anything written before that date describes it as an Extensis product
On-premise is available only in the enterprise tier, whose price is not published
Not checked

“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.

Portfolio It changed hands in March 2026, so anything written before that date describes it as an Extensis product — ask them to answer this in writing before the trial.
Razuna On-premise is available only in the enterprise tier, whose price is not published — ask them to answer this in writing before the trial.
