| Omnichannel deployment | Slack, Web, API, Email, WhatsApp, Teams, custom UI | Primarily Microsoft Teams and web |
| On-premise / air-gapped | Yes | No |
| Vendor lock-in | None - bring your own models and keys | High - tied to Azure and Microsoft licensing |
| SOC2 / GDPR / HIPAA | SOC2 ready, GDPR ready, HIPAA ready | Yes (via Microsoft compliance framework) |

Where Each Platform Excels
An honest breakdown of where Microsoft Copilot Studio makes sense, and when you should choose RHA One.
Where Copilot Studio Wins
- Native integration with Microsoft Teams, SharePoint, and Outlook - zero configuration if you're already on M365
- Familiar governance model for IT teams already managing Azure AD and Microsoft Purview
- Strong choice if 90%+ of your workflows live inside the Microsoft ecosystem
- Backed by Microsoft's enterprise SLA and support infrastructure
Where RHA One Wins
- Connect any LLM - switch between OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, Llama, or your own model without changing a single workflow
- Deploy on your own infrastructure - private cloud, on-premise, or air-gapped environments
- Connect your entire stack, not just Microsoft tools - Salesforce, Snowflake, Jira, HubSpot, PostgreSQL, Slack, and 100+ connectors more
- No vendor lock-in on models, data, or deployment - you own your API keys and data shards
- Faster time to first agent - average 47 minutes from signup to live
