Side-by-side comparison

Where SpeakUp goes deeper than NAVEX

If you want a vendor that tries to do everything, NAVEX will make that case. But there is a reason every organization switching from Navex comes to SpeakUp. Because in this industry, being broad is not the same as being good.

If you want a platform built to make reporting easier, case management smoother, and day-to-day compliance work easy and intuitive, that is where SpeakUp stands apart.

Why teams look beyond NAVEX

NAVEX positions itself as a comprehensive risk and compliance platform, but the people using it often have a different experience. And often with a sigh.

Poor mobile reporting experience
Your employees report concerns in real life, often on their phones. If mobile reporting feels difficult, fewer people will do it. A speak-up system should feel trustworthy and easy to use on any device.

Inflexible workflows and vendor
Compliance teams should not have to wait on service tickets for routine changes. if it’s hard to use or expensive to customize, your team ends up working around the system, instead of the system working for your team.

Weak AI functionality
Teams are under pressure to use AI in ways that actually reduce manual work. That means useful AI inside the workflow, not just a label in the marketing.

Unpredictable pricing
It doesn’t seem expensive upfront, but pricing gets complicated fast with endless add-ons, a million line items and license fees that don’t match how real teams work.

Transactional vendor relationship
When a vendor makes simple things hard, sends a bill for every change, or makes leaving painful; you're not their partner, you're a revenue target.

Why teams switch to SpeakUp

SpeakUp is designed for the part of compliance software people feel every day, and excels are doing misconduct reporting and disclosures well.

Intuitive reporting experience
Mobile-friendly, intuitive, and designed to reduce friction at the moment someone decides to speak up. No matter their device, languge, or what generation they belong to.

Flexible self-service control
‍Workflows, forms, and configuration should support your process, not force your team into the vendor’s way of working. With SpeakUp you can count on less friction for employees, more control for your team, and workflows that actually move cases forward.

AI that actually works
AI that is built in — not just bolted on — to reduce admin, translate 100+ languages, improve triage, and help teams move faster without losing oversight.

Transparent pricing
Fair pricing that scales with you, so you can plan, expand, and adjust without surprises. Your budget should go to improving outcomes, not on enabling functionality that should be included.

Real partnership
Your success is ours and hands-on support matters. Because the best platform isn’t just software. It’s the team behind it. And how that team stands behind your team.
