Who it’s for — and when to skip it
Individuals and small teams
Use it when data ownership and workflow flexibility matter more than a proprietary ecosystem.
Skip if native integrations with your current suite are essential.
Operations teams
Consider it when repeatable workflows can be configured without surrendering data control.
Skip if administration would outweigh the time saved.
Privacy-conscious users
Evaluate it when an inspectable codebase and portable data model are important.
Skip if mobile, offline, or sync behavior is not documented for your devices.
