Where each one falls short

Documented limitations, not opinions. Every one is a constraint you would hit in normal use.

Mattermost

No prices are published for any of the three paid tiers (Professional, Enterprise, Enterprise Advanced); all require contacting sales
Professional is capped at a maximum of 250 users, forcing a move to Enterprise for larger teams
Licenses are sold only as prepaid annual subscriptions, and organizations that exceed their licensed seat count must purchase additional seats on a prorated quarterly basis

Paragon

No price is published for either plan, and both require a quote
Cost scales with the number of customer tenants using the integrations, so the bill follows an end customer count rather than the vendor's own usage
SAML SSO, self hosting, dynamic field mapping and SLAs are all Enterprise only
