What you give up either way
- Enterprise compliance attestations (SOC2/HIPAA) unless you undergo audits
- Scale, uptime SLA and global CDN optimizations
- Deep third-party integrations (Zendesk, Jira, Confluence) and SSO/SCIM plumbing
- Polish of a mature cross-platform native app and UX refinements
- Proprietary AI tuning and brand trust/market presence
An open-source project doing the core job proves a replacement is possible. It does not prove it matches Zight, and it does not prove anyone has run it for a month. How we decide.
