AGNITAS: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

AGNITAS is a German provider of email marketing and marketing automation software, sold mainly as the E-Marketing Manager (EMM). The EMM covers automation, retargeting, layout, delivery and analytics, supports cross-media campaigns across email, web push, SMS and print, and offers multi-client management. A separate e-abo manager handles subscriptions, ticketing and course management. It can be rented as software as a service, bought as a licence and run in-house, or licensed as a private cloud that AGNITAS operates for a monthly fee.

AGNITAS AG is headquartered in Munich, Germany. According to the vendor, the service is developed and hosted in Germany in its own cloud infrastructure and holds ISO 27001, ISO 27017 and ISO 27018 certifications. OpenEMM, the open-source edition, is released under the AGPLv3 licence, developed by AGNITAS and built on the EMM code base. It is a single-server solution with fewer features, which you install and administer yourself on a Linux server. The commercial EMM is proprietary.
