- "Lowest-cost option if already licensed, though it provides less automation, control, and auditability than dedicated software." (Perplexity Sonar, Financial close manageme)
- "Microsoft 365 (with SharePoint for document management)... they lack automation, compliance alerts, or AI features" (Grok 4.20, Entity management)
