Data is hosted exclusively in the EU, so Axxerion (Spacewell Workplace) scores best on data residency.
Axxerion (Spacewell Workplace) is closed source and hosted by the vendor. The encryption keys and the runtime sit with the vendor and switching requires data migration. Ask about bring-your-own-key, export options and open standards.
