What you give up either way
- Polished commercial UI/UX and built-in user onboarding
- Proprietary model tuning or vendor-managed safety layers
- Enterprise-grade scale, monitoring, and SLAs
- Built-in integrations (drive connectors, single-sign-on) and managed hosting
- Vendor support and continuous product improvements
An open-source project doing the core job proves a replacement is possible. It does not prove it matches Documind Ltd, and it does not prove anyone has run it for a month. How we decide.
