eXo Platform: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

eXo Platform is an open-source digital workplace for internal communication and collaboration. It combines an intranet, an employee social network, a portal as a single access point to applications and knowledge, and collaboration spaces for teams. It also offers multilingual environments, branded mobile apps, no-code configuration, connectors and extensions, and AI features with governance controls. The vendor positions it as an open-source alternative to SharePoint, Microsoft 365 and Google Workspace.

eXo comes in several editions: a free Community edition you run on your own infrastructure, an Enterprise edition for private cloud or on-premise use, the SaaS edition eXo Hubs, and an OEM edition for software vendors. The Community source code is on GitHub. eXo describes itself as an independent, family-owned company with offices in Paris, San Francisco and La Marsa. The website does not say where the SaaS edition is hosted; organisations that need EU data residency can run the Community or Enterprise edition themselves.

Why digital sovereignty matters with eXo Platform

eXo Platform is headquartered in FR 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 eXo Platform scores best on data residency.

eXo Platform is open source. You can audit the source code, self-host the software and keep the encryption keys under your own control. Switching is easier because data and software are not tied to a single party.

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