This document provides an in-depth comparison of LangGraph (part of the LangChain ecosystem) and the Orkes Agentic Platform powered by Conductor. It evaluates both solutions across various dimensions including reliability, scalability, integration, security, and enterprise readiness.
Primarily built on Python, limiting interoperability with other languages.
Complex chaining of agents and LLMs makes it difficult to trace errors.
Deploying and maintaining large-scale AI applications is cumbersome.
Difficult to connect with enterprise systems and services.
Unclear design patterns make it harder to work with at scale.
