Which platform should you choose?
Start with a representative task and the people who will do it. Evaluate query performance on your workload, backups, access control, portability, and storage costs. Test the same inputs across your shortlist and record output quality, manual work, and current plan terms. Validate claims with the vendor and test the important workflow with your team.
