Neither publishes prices, so compare written quotes for the same headcount, channels and languages. Ask NAVEX which edition the quote covers, since advanced workflows sit in Professional.
EQS states 90+ languages for reports and case communication, with compliance-trained translation. NAVEX offers machine translation of report details and follow-ups but does not publish a language count.
NAVEX uses role-based permissions and AI matching of name variations to keep people named in a case away from it. EQS routes each report to an investigator but does not publish an automatic exclusion, so ask how routing handles conflicts.
Both state SOC 2 Type II and ISO 27001: EQS for its cloud and its three hosting regions, NAVEX company-wide.
EQS lets you choose North America, Europe or Asia-Pacific at contract. NAVEX stores EU-hosted data in Frankfurt with backups in Amsterdam.
