First and foremost, there needs to be alignment on goals. What will the tooling help you accomplish? Will it help you become more efficient or solve a specific problem? Here are some additional factors to consider:

  • What is the functionality of the tool?

  • How well will the tool integrate with the current tech stack?

  • Can the tool accommodate growth and evolving needs?

  • What is the usability and user experience of the tool?

  • Does the tool meet your security and data privacy needs?

  • Does the tool's support and documentation meet your needs?

  • Does the ROI justify the cost?

Asking these types of questions will help you make an informed decision.
