Four comparisons.
HOVIGuard vs. Open AI Tools
ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini without control — vs. HOVIGuard with full protection and audit trail.
HOVIGuard vs. ChatGPT Enterprise
Single-vendor lock-in on US hosting vs. 100+ EU models in one platform.
HOVIGuard vs. Individual AI Subscriptions
Fragmented subscriptions without central control vs. one platform — one invoice, one audit trail.
HOVIGuard vs. Banning AI
Employees often circumvent bans. Controlled access is usually the better solution — Shadow AI (uncontrolled AI use in teams) never emerges in the first place.
