Pick Steampipe when
- Cloud and DevOps engineers

When Steampipe is not a fit
- Non-technical teams . this is a SQL CLI, not a dashboard
- Buyers wanting turnkey managed SaaS . that is Turbot Pipes, priced separately
- Teams unwilling to self-host and maintain open-source tooling
- One-off cloud inventory checks . your cloud console already does this free
