Beebole: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Beebole is a web platform for time tracking, resource planning and financial reporting, aimed at organisations that work with projects. It combines timesheets with planning and financial overviews in one environment, with features such as single sign-on and multi-level approvals. The website states GDPR compliance among its features.

According to its website, Beebole is based in Brussels, Belgium, and was founded in 2008. No foreign owner is named, and the website does not give the legal entity name. The website does not state where customer data is hosted; the company describes a migration to Google Cloud with EU and US data residency as work in progress. A European organisation should therefore have the data location confirmed in its contract. The software is not open source.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Beebole

Beebole is headquartered in BE and therefore falls under European law: the GDPR, NIS2 and the Data Act. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

Data is hosted exclusively in the EU, so Beebole scores best on data residency.

Beebole 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.

What this means for your organisation depends on your whole stack and context. The free assessment weighs Beebole together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
