Short answer

Use native or manual work for inspection. Use a focused workflow when the decision needs proof.

Manual review is still useful for quick checks and one-off troubleshooting. The comparison changes when another person must approve the action, understand exceptions, or trust the state after cleanup.

FAQ

Comparison questions

Is manual review always wrong?

No. It can be enough for small spot checks. It gets weak when approval, exceptions, and proof matter.

When does License Guard make sense?

When the team needs a reviewable answer around jira product access and app access, not only a one-off admin-console check.
