eyeson: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

eyeson is a video meeting platform offered as an API and SDKs, so developers can build video calls, layouts and recordings into their own web or mobile applications. The range includes the eyeson API with call-control and layout interfaces, a stream recorder, and eyeson One View, which combines several video, audio and data feeds into one synchronised stream. Customers use eyeson as a SaaS service, through the API, or deploy it in a public, private or customer-managed cloud.

eyeson GmbH has its seat in Graz, Austria. The company states that it stores all user data in data centres in Austria and the EU, and it offers a data processing agreement under Article 28 GDPR for both the SaaS product and the API. The vendor also notes that meeting resources can run on other cloud providers if configured, such as AWS, Azure or Google, so European organisations should confirm the provider and region for their own deployment, since these determine where meetings take place.

Why digital sovereignty matters with eyeson

eyeson is headquartered in AT 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 eyeson scores best on data residency.

eyeson 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 eyeson together with your other vendors and gives a total score, a heatmap and the main risk drivers.
