Composability
7.5

Bottomline
7.5
Syndigo’s acquisition of various companies and providers has, over the years, expanded their offering. They score particularly well in terms of being cloud native. Other benchmark criteria, such as offering microservices, have improved over time. Some of their more recent acquisitions may improve their services further.
