A good process management tool should bring together, at minimum: a visual flow with **Kanban & Pipe**, deadline tracking with **SLA**, data capture with **Forms**, and access control with **Security**. **Jestor** brings these and other features together on the same platform.

## Why the feature list matters more than the tool's name?

Two tools can both call themselves "process management" and cover very different needs. Looking at the concrete feature list helps compare more objectively than just marketing positioning.

## What to evaluate in a process management tool?

- Whether the visual flow of the process is easy to configure and understand
- Whether there's automatic deadline tracking at every stage
- Whether data capture is done through a customizable form
- Whether access control is granular enough for sensitive data

## The 8 essential features in a single table?

Each feature covers a specific need for whoever manages processes day to day.

| Feature         | What it solves                          |
| --------------- | --------------------------------------- |
| Kanban & Pipe   | Workflow visualization                  |
| SLA             | Deadline tracking and alerts            |
| Forms           | Custom data capture                     |
| Security        | Granular permissions by role and field  |
| Docs            | Documents linked to cards and records   |
| Automation      | Less repetitive manual work             |
| Dashboard       | Real-time visibility into the operation |
| ERP integration | Native connection with no middleman     |

## Why choose Jestor?
