Technical support, documentation.
Map definition consistency, accuracy and depth.
Model coverage.
Map contents confidentiality/protection.

I can get the confidentiality aspect , but that also requires the same from the mapper not just the software ?
Could you elaborate on the def aspect and also the cable ?

We are went with Syvecs,because this ECU has been best at this time and still is it for money(yes MoTeC is daddy,but cost few times more than Syvecs)
Inputs/Outputs on Syvecs will/can allow you lots,like sensors for Fuel pressure,oil pressure,oil temp,EGT etc and trips(limp mode) for those sensors,main thing is you don't need any controller for Wideband or EGT and NOS control without going for expensive progressive controller and lots of other features

Which is why I asked the question , why ecutek vs o/s
I know John as answered but to be fair the reasons cited are not reasons that will really benefit the end user
Tbh how many guys on here care about map confidentiality or tech support ect
All they know is they pay there money to a mapper
And is the car producing good power / is it smoother delivery / good torque ect
So will the end user get a better driving / more power ect by using ecutek ?

You may find some answers in here HERE
That's if you have the time to read it all lol it's goes on a bit

So it seems the concerns about o/s software being beta and maybe full of bugs and glitches was a good few years ago
I think it's pretty safe to say its proven now
It seems that the use of o/s has been more of an ethical ( financial issue in favour of ecutek) rather than sub standard software
So there are no real differences at the end of the day

Once the rom is in , mapped and performing how you want I can't see what issues you can have , it's not like milk ( not gonna off all of a sudden )
But this is off topic really
Why is ecutek better than o/s ( what advantages for the customer ? )
