| Data handling | CARTO says it does not copy connected data and runs queries against live data in the customer’s warehouse, with an encrypted temporal cache for performance and cost optimization. | Eign says data is processed within activated coverage zones and clients are not granted rights to store intelligence outputs or create datasets from them. |
| Integrations | CARTO connects to Google BigQuery, Snowflake, Amazon Redshift, PostgreSQL, Databricks, and Oracle data warehouses. | Eign says location scoring can be integrated into a customer's platform or decision tools, including through API and embeddable components. |
