Which one fits you?

An honest look at both

Good software is the software that fits your business. Here's a fair guide to when each is the better choice.

You want deep customisation and have (or can hire) technical resources to configure it
You need a very specific workflow that benefits from its large app marketplace
You have an implementation partner and budget for a configuration project
You value open-source flexibility above out-of-the-box simplicity
