3,5 Good
End-to-end encrypted messaging and collaboration app with servers in Germany and Ireland. Drawback: the company is based in Switzerland (outside the EU/EEA) and the service is more messaging than full collaboration tool.
Best for: Security-conscious teams that prioritize strong encryption for messages and calls.
Pros
- Strong end-to-end encryption for everything including calls
- Data stored in the EU (Germany/Ireland), GDPR- and ISO 27001-aligned
- A free plan for small teams and a reasonable SMB price
Cons
- The company is headquartered in Switzerland, i.e. outside the EU/EEA
- Focus on secure communication, with fewer collaboration features than Teams/Nextcloud
- Lacks Swedish language support and local support
