We are open source

Microsoft To Do 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 can foster collaboration, while enabling a faster market entry. This article on choosing an open source software further elaborates on the advantages over a proprietary solution.

Host your own on-premises edition

Organizations with rigorous data security policies can rely on OpenProject’s Enterprise on-premises edition for self-hosting. This setup guarantees strong privacy, system reliability, and regulatory compliance. It also provides full integration capabilities via a comprehensive API. Microsoft To Do does not offer an on-premises solution.

No compromises in data protection

OpenProject’s cloud service is hosted in the EU and fully GDPR-compliant, ensuring strong data sovereignty for all organizations. Microsoft, by contrast, is a US based company subject to different data protection regulations.
