V.04

The Feature Matrix
is Dead.

Traditional DXP comparisons fail to capture the reality of modern enterprise architecture. It's no longer "Headless vs. Monolith"—it's about orchestration, governance, and AI.

Architectural Complexity

Integration costs now outweigh license costs by 3x.

AI Maturity Gap

Most platforms are AI-wrapped, not AI-native.

Time-to-Value

Average enterprise implementation now takes 14 months.

Report Utility

  • C-Level Executives assessing platform consolidation vs. best-of-breed strategies.
  • Enterprise Architects designing high-scale, multi-region governance models.

Out of Scope

  • Marketing teams looking for simple page builders or brochureware sites.
  • Small businesses with annual digital budgets under $100k.
