About this guide

How the guide is written

• Every tool is described from what its vendor publishes about itself on its own website, read in October and November 2026.
• Where something could not be verified, it was left out rather than guessed. That is why most tools have no price listed: most vendors in this category quote on request.
• Product screenshots come from each vendor's own published material and are credited in the caption.
• Regulatory statements name the regulation and clause they come from.
• Treat each "built for" line as a starting point, then take two tools to a demo.
