When **choosing a workflow platform**, the criteria that most separate a strong tool from a fragile one are: the depth of the **BPMS**, the granularity of **Security**, and the existence of **App Versioning** to evolve without breaking what already works. **Jestor** delivers all three.

### Why Are Security and Versioning Criteria Often Overlooked?

Most comparisons focus on automation and interface, and leave out two points that only hurt later: who can see what inside the system, and what happens when someone needs to edit a process that's already in production.

### What Criteria Should You Evaluate Before Choosing the Platform?

- Whether the **BPMS** allows custom processes, not just fixed templates.
- Whether **Security** controls access by field and action, not just by screen.
- Whether **App Versioning** exists to edit without impacting current users.
- Whether the platform scales in users without a disproportionate cost.

### How Does Jestor Meet These Criteria?

- Jestor's **BPMS** structures fully custom processes end to end, with phases and rules specific to each operation.
- **Security** offers granular permissions by role, field, and action, including advanced control by branch.
- **App Versioning** lets you edit a new version of the app without impacting people already using the current version.

| Criteria              | Why it matters                                 |
| --------------------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
| **Customizable BPMS** | Avoids being locked into a fixed template      |
| **Granular security** | Protects sensitive data by department          |
| **App Versioning**    | Lets you evolve without breaking the operation |
