Alternatives to GIS Cloud
Other GIS and mapping vendors we measure, sorted by how much they publish that GIS Cloud does not. This is a comparison of disclosure, not of features or fitness.
12 shown of 25 that differ from GIS Cloud on at least one criterion we measured for both. Public transparency score, not a product or security rating.
GIS Cloud has 5 gaps in what we could measure: Data processing agreement, Status page with history, Uptime SLA with a figure, HTTPS enforced with HSTS, Notice before subprocessors change. The column “publishes and GIS Cloud does not” is the one that closes them.

Only criteria we could measure for both are counted. Where we could measure one and not the other, the row is silent: that would be a statement about our measurement, not about either vendor. Every single result with its source is on the two profiles.
