EQS Integrity Line vs NotMe

EQS Integrity Line is whistleblowing software for employees and third parties to report wrongdoing within an organisation. Reports can be anonymous, and a secure mailbox lets the reporter continue a conversation without disclosing their identity. Case management includes configurable authorisations, access controls and revision logs. The system supports over 80 languages and can automatically translate cases and dialogue. Compliance teams can use dashboards, charts, real-time analysis, search and filters, and download cases in Excel format. Organisations can combine reports from letters, email, phone calls and meetings; a telephone channel is available for Enterprise. EQS says the service is hosted in Germany and uses ISO 27001-certified data centres, encryption, two-factor authentication and regular external security audits. Essential costs £85 a month, while Professional costs £170 a month. A seven-day free trial of Essential begins after the demo system is set up. The product is available on Android, iOS and web.

NotMe is a speak-up and integrity platform for organizations to receive reports, investigate concerns, and manage cases. People can report anonymously or by name, use customizable forms, upload evidence, and communicate through secure two-way chat. Reporting supports more than 150 languages, with live AI translation. Case-management tools include assignment and routing, status tracking, investigator collaboration, and AI summaries and classification of reports. Organizations can connect it with Microsoft Teams, Slack, HRIS, SSO/SAML, embedded forms, intranets, portals, and APIs. NotMe states that it is SOC 2 Type II certified and GDPR compliant, and that data is encrypted in transit and at rest. It offers EU data residency, keeping EU client data within Europe, while certain clients use US storage. The Platform plan costs $99 per month, based on employee count, and includes unlimited reports and up to 5-10 admin licenses. Enterprise pricing is custom and includes unlimited admin licenses. Individual users can submit reports without charge through the web app or Android and iOS apps. The listed platforms also include an API.
