Why Choose Coax

EU Data Residency

Zluri stores data in the US with no EU hosting option. Coax keeps your data in Denmark, ensuring full GDPR compliance without complex cross-border data transfer agreements.

Agentless vs Agent-Based

Zluri requires deploying browser agents across your organization. Coax discovers apps through email and IdP scanning — no agents to install, no endpoints to manage, no employee friction.

15-Minute Setup vs Weeks

Zluri needs extensive API integrations, agent rollouts, and configuration. Coax connects to your email and IdP in minutes, discovering shadow IT immediately without a lengthy onboarding process.

GDPR-First Security

While Zluri focuses on US compliance frameworks, Coax is built from the ground up for European regulations with GDPR monitoring, EU data residency, and European compliance standards.

Yes. Coax is built in Copenhagen with EU data residency in Denmark. GDPR compliance is native to the platform. Zluri is US-based without EU data residency, which means European companies using Zluri need complex data processing agreements to maintain compliance.
