When a simple tool is enough
A simple tool is usually enough when the job is narrow, occasional, or handled by a small team that mainly needs a clear answer, a repeatable check, or a lightweight workflow.
When a larger platform is better
A larger platform is usually a better fit when the work requires deep integrations, formal approval chains, high-volume automation, audit programs, or dedicated administrative controls.
