Who leads each criterion?

  • Onboarding and switching help · weight 22

    Scytale at 9/10

    Who does the work when you start or move platforms: a dedicated expert named by the vendor, a partner network, or a support desk, as each vendor describes it on its own pages.

  • Framework coverage and cross-mapping · weight 16

    Sprinto at 10/10

    The framework count each vendor publishes and whether controls are mapped once and reused, which decides how much work a second framework adds after a switch.

  • Published integrations · weight 16

    Comp AI at 10/10

    The integration count each vendor publishes. A vendor that publishes no count scores lower because a switcher cannot check coverage of its own stack before a demo.

    Thoropass at 10/10

    How you get from readiness to a report: an in-house audit, a built-in partner auditor route, or bring your own auditor.

  • Pricing transparency · weight 12

    Secureframe at 8/10

    Whether a switcher can see a price, plan names and plan limits before a sales call.

  • Questionnaires and trust center · weight 10

    Vanta at 9/10

    A customer-facing trust center and security questionnaire tooling, including published allowances.

  • AI assistance · weight 10

How is this ranking different from the alternatives pages?

Here every platform is scored against the same seven criteria. On an alternatives page the platform you already use becomes the baseline, and each rival is shown as a gain or a loss against it on every criterion. Weights can also change with your reason for leaving, which can reorder the list.
