Questback: sovereignty score and 8 European alternatives

Questback is a platform for enterprise feedback and employee surveys from Oslo, Norway. Organisations use it to measure customer and employee satisfaction, design surveys and collect feedback. It is delivered as a cloud software service. The company is not open source.

Questback AS is based in Oslo, within the EEA, and was listed on Euronext Growth in Oslo in 2021. In 2023 an agreement was announced for the sale of a majority of the shares to a Luxembourg vehicle, and the current controlling shareholder is not publicly named. According to the vendor's security page, customer data is stored in German data centres, while an older GDPR document mentions optional US data centres. The hosting terms should therefore be confirmed in the contract.

Why digital sovereignty matters with Questback

Questback is headquartered in NO, which falls under the GDPR through the European Economic Area. No foreign legislation can compel access to your data.

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

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