# Should teams choose UKG Marketplace integrations over custom development for connecting UKG with other enterprise systems?

&lt;p&gt;Marketplace integrations are usually the lower-risk starting point because they&#39;re maintained and supported, while custom development makes sense only when business logic or data mappings are too specific for pre-built connectors. The tipping point isn&#39;t the number of systems—it&#39;s how unique your workflows are and whether you have the in-house capacity to maintain custom integrations long term.&lt;/p&gt;
