How do you measure the performance of the product team, considering only product managers, group product managers and product head?

Wouldn't the outside perspective bring fresh external breath to the existing product ecosystem? Learning from the best practices in other industries can help immensely, isn't it? Your thoughts?

With the ever increasing amount of SaaS software's out there, offering integrations is key to helping customers adopt our product. Now at what point does it become beneficial to stop developing this in-house and use a 3rd party. We're considering an iPaaS for our platform and I want to know why would it not make sense to do so maybe
