What you give up either way
- SOC II / certified compliance and enterprise audit guarantees
- Ability to operate at hundreds of PBs and hundreds of millions of assets with enterprise SLAs
- Proprietary Iconik Shield compliance features (complete audit trail, advanced forensic watermarking add-ons)
- Built-in 65+ third-party integrations and vendor-provided managed support/CSM
- High-volume automation capacity and included AI credits per month
An open-source project doing the core job proves a replacement is possible. It does not prove it matches Iconik, and it does not prove anyone has run it for a month. How we decide.
