Confronta Fleep e Wire su capacità, giurisdizione, garanzie e idoneità per acquirenti europei.
Entrambi elencati come alternative a: Microsoft Teams, Slack
Estonia· Groupware
Needs review
Shortlist when you want an Estonian-operated messenger that mixes team chat with real email participation, light task/pin/file tools, and Business-side account ownership. Skip when you need E2EE, self-hosting, or a deep enterprise app marketplace — consider Nextcloud Talk (self-host) or Slack/Teams instead.
Switzerland· Groupware
Needs review
Shortlist Wire when you need always-on E2EE collaboration (MLS), Swiss legal entity, open-source clients/server, and a credible path from EU cloud to on-prem/federation. Skip when you need deep Microsoft 365/Slack app ecosystems or a pure non-AWS/US-SaaS subprocessor footprint—consider Nextcloud Talk or a Germany-hosted managed messenger such as ginlo Business instead.

Email-bridged conversations
Send to a conversation's unique email address, receive on username@fleep.io, create email threads with non-users, or connect an existing mailbox so external partners stay in the same work stream without mandatory Fleep accounts.
Taskboard per conversation
Create, assign, and track tasks inside the same conversation where decisions happen; Business adds a My tasks view across work. Suited to light coordination, not a full project-management suite.
Pinboard and File Drawer
Pin announcements so plans do not drown in scrollback; store and re-open shared files from a conversation-level drawer across web, desktop, and mobile.
Fleep for Business admin ownership
Organization admins control Premium accounts and conversations—provision/deactivate users, reset passwords, manage membership and history access, set file retention, organization-wide teams, and company branding.
API, webhooks, and app integrations
Public API for post/read of messages and files plus listed integrations (e.g. GitHub, GitLab, Jira, Zapier, Dropbox, Whereby for A/V). Not a self-hosted product.
Always-on MLS / E2EE for chat, calls, and files
Messaging, conference calls, and in-app file shares are end-to-end encrypted by default—no toggle. Wire markets full-product MLS (IETF Messaging Layer Security) for scalable group key exchange, alongside Proteus/Double Ratchet heritage for pairwise messaging and SRTP/DTLS for calls. Suits orgs that reject optional encryption modes.
Guest rooms and external collaboration
Invite outsiders into E2EE conversations via guest rooms in the browser without requiring a full account download, plus external team members with lifecycle controls (removal drops their history access). Practical for contractors, clients, and inter-org projects that must stay off consumer WhatsApp.
Cloud, on-premises, air-gap, and federation
Run managed Wire Cloud or deploy on-premises/private cloud—including air-gapped networks—with optional federation between isolated Wire backends and admin control over which backends may interconnect. Aimed at governments and CNI that cannot accept pure SaaS only.
Enterprise identity: SSO, SCIM, and admin policy
Enterprise tier adds SAML-based single sign-on, SCIM provisioning, and granular admin controls (for example enforce app lock, restrict self-deleting messages). Built for complex directories rather than only self-serve SMB signup.
Open-source clients, server, and crypto
Wire publishes client, server (wire-server, AGPL-3.0), and core-crypto components on GitHub for independent review. Multi-device accounts (up to 8 devices) with ID Shield certificate-based device verification reduce manual fingerprint workflows while keeping device trust visible.
| Assurance & compliance | Fleep | Wire |
|---|---|---|
| Independent security / no-logs audit | Not found No public independent audit report located on official site or help center. | Partial Vendor publishes Security/Privacy whitepapers and states external pen tests and ISO audits in TOMs; public third-party audit PDFs (e.g. historic Kudelski/X41 claims in secondary sources) were not re-verified as current primary evidence during this draft. |
| ISO 27001 | Not found No ISO 27001 claim found on official pages. | Vendor claimed Asserted on Wire security marketing page; request certificate in procurement. |
| SOC 2 / SOC 3 | Not found No SOC 2/3 report or claim found on official pages. | Not found No public SOC 2/3 claim located on security/legal pages during research. |
| GDPR / EU data protection | Vendor claimed EE entity; public privacy policy; AKI as supervisory authority. Confirm DPA and processing roles for your use case. | Vendor claimed Swiss FADP controller; GDPR for EU/EEA individuals; EU Art. 27 representative Wire Germany GmbH; public privacy policy and DPA. |
| US CLOUD Act exposure (indicative) | Partial EU entity, no known US parent, but primary hosting on AWS and US-group analytics/payment/marketing tools (GA, Mixpanel, Braintree/PayPal, MailChimp). Not legal advice. | Partial Swiss entity / no known US parent, but AWS EMEA hosting and US-parent SaaS subprocessors (Stripe, HubSpot, Salesforce, Zendesk corporate groups; APNs/FCM push). Not legal advice. |
| Data processing agreement (B2B) | Not found No public DPA template found. Privacy policy offers updated authorized-processor list on contact—ask sales/support for DPA. | Vendor claimed Public Art. 28 GDPR Processing Agreement with TOMs and Annex 2 subprocessor list (updated March 12, 2025 on page). |
| EU AI Act | Not applicable Team messenger; not marketed as an AI system. | Not applicable Secure messaging/collaboration product; not marketed as an AI system core offering. |
| ISO 27701 | Non indicato | Vendor claimed Asserted alongside ISO 27001 on security page; not independently verified here. |
| Cyber Essentials (UK) | Non indicato | Vendor claimed Asserted on security page as UK government-backed baseline certification. |
| Considerations & known limitations | Fleep | Wire |
|---|---|---|
| US-group cloud and SaaS subprocessors | Medium Message storage on AWS (Dublin claimed) plus Google Analytics, Mixpanel, payment processors, and MailChimp (US marketing mail). Affects CLOUD Act / transfer diligence even with EE legal entity. | Non indicato |
| No public ISO/SOC or independent audit | Medium Assurance package for regulated buyers is thin on the public site; expect questionnaire and contractual annexes rather than downloadable certs. | Non indicato |
| Server-side encryption, not E2EE | Medium TLS + encrypted storage on provider servers; unsuitable if policy requires client-held keys or provider-blind messaging. | Non indicato |
| Privacy/Terms last dated 2019 on site | Low Public privacy (Mar 2019) and terms (Jan 2019) may lag operational reality—confirm current policy versions and subprocessors during procurement. | Non indicato |
| No self-host option | Low Cannot place Fleep inside your own VPC or air-gapped network; residency limited to vendor AWS EU setup. | Non indicato |
| AWS EMEA + US-parent SaaS subprocessors | Non indicato | Medium Even with DE/IE regions and a Swiss controller, cloud tenants depend on AWS EMEA and several US-group tools for hosting, CRM, support, or payments. On-prem reduces hosting dependency but not necessarily all vendor-side SaaS. |
| Wire Drive is not client-side E2EE | Non indicato | Medium DPA distinguishes messenger E2EE from Drive encryption-at-rest with possible operator access. Misclassifying Drive as zero-knowledge chat storage creates compliance risk. |
| ISO / Cyber Essentials need certificate proof | Non indicato | Low Certifications are prominently claimed on marketing pages but should be validated with current certificates and scope statements before audit reliance. |
| Mobile push via APNs/FCM | Non indicato | Low Standard mobile delivery path involves Apple/Google push infrastructure for wake-ups; Wire states content is not shared. F-Droid build available to avoid FCM. |
