Tray.ai
Pros

- Enterprise-grade governance with RBAC, log streaming, SSO, HIPAA compliance options, and observability

- Many critical features like SSO, HIPAA, and extended log retention are paid add-ons even on mid-tier plans

- Overkill for small businesses or simple automation needs that tools like Zapier could handle
