Transparency alternatives to Colabra
Other Research administration vendors we measure, sorted by how much we found at them and not at Colabra. This is a comparison of disclosure, not of features or fitness.
12 shown of 26 that differ from Colabra on at least one criterion we measured for both. Public transparency score, not a product or security rating.
Colabra has 8 gaps in what we could measure: Data processing agreement, Subprocessor list, Data location stated, Status page with history, Uptime SLA with a figure, No third-party tracking before consent, Notice before subprocessors change, Named privacy contact. The column “Found there, not found at Colabra” is the one that closes them.
