Where it fits

Teams that value modular workflows and can evaluate each required module.

Trade-offs and limitations

Community and Enterprise are different offerings. Enterprise features and third-party modules may have separate, proprietary licences.

Deployment and technology

Python · PostgreSQL. Self-hosting requires a supported deployment, capacity planning and a named maintainer. Consult the official installation guide for the current version.

Portability and integration

Edition-specific requirements should be verified before selection.
APIEdition and hosting conditions must be checked
AuthenticationDepends on edition and installed modules
Data exportExports and PostgreSQL backups on self-hosted deployments

Migration considerations

Inventory every installed module and its licence; validate Community feature coverage before moving records.

Security and ongoing costs

Budget for infrastructure, implementation, monitoring, patching, backups, restore tests and user support. Check the supported release and current advisories with the project. An open licence is not a security guarantee.

Freedom score and exit difficulty

A complete, evidence-backed assessment of all 15 criteria is required before publishing a score. Exit difficulty depends on your customisations, data model, integrations and operating documentation. This profile does not claim a hands-on benchmark or a complete security assessment.
