Compare vendors by the job they do.
Vendor names change quickly. The durable question is where a product sits in the system: model, context, agent builder, workflow, infrastructure, or governance.
Who builds the pieces?
This is an orientation map for students, not a ranking. Verify product scope, pricing, security, and availability directly with each vendor.

| Dimension | Ask the vendor | Test it yourself |
|---|---|---|
| Data | What can the product access, retain, or use for training? | Use synthetic or redacted records and inspect data flows. |
| Control | Can you set permissions, approvals, and action limits? | Try an unauthorized or high-risk action. |
| Evidence | Can users see sources, tool calls, and failure reasons? | Give it an ambiguous request and inspect the explanation. |
| Economics | How do model, usage, integration, support, and review costs combine? | Estimate cost per successful task, not cost per prompt. |
| Exit | Can you export workflows, prompts, records, and evaluations? | Document what would be difficult to migrate. |
