How we actually compare.
BackPro against the four alternatives we are most often compared with. Ten dimensions, including the ones where we do not lead. Select the dimensions that matter to your firm and the table re-sorts vendors by how many of your priorities each meets.
Dimensions that matter to you · 3 selected
| Dimension | BackPro | M365 Copilot | ChatGPT Ent. | OpenAI API | Anthropic |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Data sovereignty Does customer data stay inside your firm's perimeter, or does it leave to a vendor's tenancy? | ✓ Single-tenant in your cloud. Zero egress by default. | ~ Tenant-isolated in your Microsoft cloud, but Microsoft is the processor. | × Data sent to OpenAI infrastructure (US-based for most plans). | × Data sent to OpenAI infrastructure. | × Data sent to Anthropic infrastructure. |
Answerable to Australian court Is the vendor incorporated and operationally resident in Australia, subject to Australian law and regulators? | ✓ Australian-incorporated, Sydney-based, AFSL-aware. | ~ Microsoft Australia exists, but the product is governed by US/EU terms. | × OpenAI is a US company. | × OpenAI is a US company. | × Anthropic is a US company. |
Cryptographic audit trail Can you produce a tamper-evident audit log for every AI-assisted action, exportable to your SIEM? | ✓ Every action signed and exportable. Built for APRA/ASIC scrutiny. | ~ Microsoft Purview audit logs; coverage of Copilot interactions is improving. | ~ Admin audit logs available, but not cryptographically signed at the action level. | ~ API logs available but not signed; you build the trail yourself. | × No comprehensive audit-trail feature for regulated workflows. |
Citation-grounded outputs Does every AI output trace back to the specific source document and passage it drew from? | ✓ Every claim links to a chunk in the source document. RAG-first by design. | ~ Inline citations available; depends on the surface (Word, Outlook, etc.). | ~ Citations possible via custom GPTs, but not enforced by the platform. | × You build the citation pipeline yourself. | ~ Citations supported in Projects but not the default modality. |
AFSL-aware workflow templates Does the platform ship with workflows designed for Australian financial services obligations: SoA, DDQ, BID, BCP? | ✓ Native templates for SoA, DDQ, audit evidence, BID trail. | × Office productivity AI. No AFSL-specific surface. | × General-purpose. AFSL templates would need to be built in custom GPTs. | × Build-it-yourself. | × General-purpose. No AFSL templates. |
Single-tenant inference plane Is your model and inference plane physically isolated from other customers, or shared multi-tenant infra? | ✓ Single-tenant: your model, your inference plane, your tenancy. | ~ Tenant-isolated logically; physical inference is shared. | × Shared inference infrastructure across enterprise customers. | × Shared infrastructure. | × Shared infrastructure. |
Model agnosticism Can you choose the model per workload, or are you tied to a single foundation-model vendor? | ✓ Enterprise contracts with Anthropic, OpenAI, and Gemini. Model picked per deployment. | × OpenAI models, configured by Microsoft. | × OpenAI models only. | × OpenAI models only. | × Anthropic models only. |
Model + capability breadth How wide is the available model/feature surface: voice, vision, code, agents, plugins? | ~ Focused. Voice/vision available via the contracted providers; narrower agentic surface than the hyperscalers. | ✓ Tight Office + Bing integration. Wide capability surface. | ✓ The broadest off-the-shelf consumer-grade surface. | ✓ Industry-leading API breadth. | ✓ Strong language and reasoning; growing agent surface. |
Microsoft / Google ecosystem fit How tightly does it slot into Microsoft 365 / Google Workspace as a productivity surface? | ~ Integrates with both via standard connectors. Not a native productivity tool. | ✓ Native Microsoft 365 product. No comparison. | ~ Some integration via plugins / API. | ~ Integration is on the consumer. | ~ Integration is on the consumer. |
Deploy inside your tenancy Can the platform run inside your existing cloud account (Azure / AWS / GCP), under your IAM, with no third-party data plane? | ✓ Standard deployment pattern. Terraform + Helm against the target cloud. | ~ Runs in your Microsoft cloud but Microsoft operates the surface. | × SaaS only. | × API only. | × SaaS / API only. |

Claims are sourced from each vendor’s publicly documented enterprise position at the time of writing. Vendor offerings change, what is a ‘~’ today may be a ‘+’ next quarter and vice versa. Where we mark BackPro at ‘~’ (capability breadth, ecosystem fit), we mean it. Our focus is regulated workloads, not consumer-AI surfaces.
