Compare
What changes when you move to Oworks.
Versus the suites of the big American vendors, and versus traditional hosted email. Without hiding what the others do better.
Versus Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace
Comparable day-to-day tools. One fundamental difference: who holds your data, and under which law.
| Criterion | Oworks | Microsoft 365, Google Workspace |
|---|---|---|
| Data hosted in your country | Yes, your choice: on-premises, with your operator or online | In the vendor’s data centers, in the regions it offers |
| Subject to a foreign data access law | No | Yes: vendors subject to US law, including the CLOUD Act |
| Installable in your data center | Yes, the whole suite | No for the online suite; limited on-premises offerings |
| Auditable source code | Yes, open source components | No, proprietary software |
| What you pay | Subscription, no license | A license per user, price set by the vendor |
| Delegated administration by ministry | Yes, one platform for the entire state | Possible, within the vendor’s cloud |
| Offered under a local operator’s brand | Yes, in white label | No, resold under the vendor’s brand |
| Support | Engineers on the continent, up to level 3 | Vendor and reseller partners |
Versus traditional hosted email
Exchange Server, Zimbra and the other email systems installed in-house for years: you keep control, and you gain a complete, modern suite.
| Criterion | Oworks | Traditional hosted email |
|---|---|---|
| Scope | Mail, calendar, meetings, chat, files, documents | Mail and calendar; the rest as separate products |
| Video conferencing and chat | Built-in, on your servers | Often absent or optional |
| Scaling | Kubernetes: each service scales on its own | Servers sized in advance |
| Several organizations on one platform | Yes, isolated, with delegated administration | Limited |
| Single identity for all the applications | Yes, with second factor and federation | Depends on the products added |
| Interface | Modern webmail, mobile and desktop apps | Varies with the version |
| Licenses | None, just a subscription | Often licenses per mailbox |
Already on Zimbra? Oworks shares the same domain as your current platform: you switch at your own pace, without redoing everything at once.
