The tool has a number of different filters to effectively compare different technologies and platforms &#8211; in addition to specific information about each solution. When using the tool, a user can select up to four solutions at a time to compare across a number of categories and considerations &#8211; a very helpful way to compare open software solutions side by side. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"459\" src=\"https:\/\/sites.bc.edu\/schol-comm\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/173\/2024\/05\/image-2-1024x459.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-451\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sites.bc.edu\/schol-comm\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/173\/2024\/05\/image-2-1024x459.png 1024w, https:\/\/sites.bc.edu\/schol-comm\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/173\/2024\/05\/image-2-300x134.png 300w, https:\/\/sites.bc.edu\/schol-comm\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/173\/2024\/05\/image-2-768x344.png 768w, https:\/\/sites.bc.edu\/schol-comm\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/173\/2024\/05\/image-2-620x278.png 620w, https:\/\/sites.bc.edu\/schol-comm\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/173\/2024\/05\/image-2.png 1395w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This exciting tool is also relatively new &#8211; having been developed and released between 2023 and 2024.
