We are open source

AceProject is a proprietary software. Therefore, users run the risk of depending solely on the vendor to make code adjustments and implement feature requests. OpenProject is an open source software and as such it can be the more secure and more cost efficient option. It provides absolute transparency and high flexibility levels, it fosters collaboration, while complying with highest security standards.

Host your own on-premises edition

To meet the highest standards of data security and privacy, OpenProject provides a self-hosted Enterprise on-premises edition. This setup offers unmatched control, regulatory compliance, and reliability. The on-premises version can be customized to specific needs and integrates easily through an advanced API. In contrast, AceProject does not offer on-premises installations.

No compromises in data protection

When using the cloud version of OpenProject, your data remains in the EU and benefits from full GDPR compliance. AceProject, however, stores its data with Amazon S3 services.
