Yes indicates the feature is available natively in standard enterprise tiers. Partial indicates the feature is available with limitations, only in specific tiers, or requires additional configuration or third-party integration. No indicates the feature is not available natively.
Platform capabilities change over time as vendors update their products. Readers should verify current feature availability with the relevant vendor before making procurement decisions. For the complete assessment methodology, see the Assessment Criteria page.
