What you give up either way
- Enterprise-grade compliance certifications (SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA alignment, GDPR support)
- Multi-region managed data centers and official EU data residency
- Prebuilt 200+ solution templates and packaged deployments
- Built-in AI Agent Studio and integrated SmartSuite AI features
- SSO/SCIM provisioning, audit logs, IP restrictions, and DLP controls at enterprise scale
An open-source project doing the core job proves a replacement is possible. It does not prove it matches SmartSuite, and it does not prove anyone has run it for a month. How we decide.
