SOLUTION ANALYSIS

Whispli vs EQS

Modern Ethics & Compliance teams are moving away from platforms where every change goes through the vendor.

If your current platform is being wound down, a migration is coming at your next renewal either way. Whispli gives you a platform your team configures itself, with no vendor tickets and no roadmap you didn't choose

They switched from EQS to Whispli

Why choose Whispli over EQS?

Both platforms meet the same compliance requirements. The real difference is who controls your setup: whether you can change a form yourself, whether the platform you're on is here to stay, what your reporters actually experience, and whether you're paying for modules you don't use.

Why teams switch to Whispli

Configure it yourself

Add an entity, rename a workflow, restructure your categories, in minutes, from inside the platform. No vendor ticket, no waiting for a release window, and no paid change orders. If you'd rather be supported, our team handles it, included in your subscription.

A platform that stays put

When your provider changes its roadmap, you inherit a migration you didn't ask for. Whispli is one platform, built and maintained as one product, so there's no legacy version being wound down behind the scenes, and no forced migration waiting at your next renewal.

Built around speak-up, not bolted onto it

Whistleblowing and disclosure management are what Whispli is built for, not one module in a catalogue that also covers investor relations, ESG and board portals. Everything in the platform serves the same purpose.

Built to fit your organisation, not the other way around

Try our platform

If you're migrating anyway, choose your destination

When your provider retires a platform, the migration comes with the renewal whether you asked for it or not. The real decision isn't whether to move, it's which platform you land on.

Our team handles the heavy lifting so your program keeps running without a gap.

One migration, not two

If a platform change is coming at renewal anyway, moving once to a platform you chose is simpler than migrating onto a roadmap someone else set for you.

Your cases come with you

Open and historical cases transfer intact. Nothing is lost, your audit trail stays complete, and your reporting channels stay live throughout.

You land on a platform you control

Once you're live, changes are yours to make. No tickets, no release windows, and no second migration waiting at the next renewal.

Which tool is right for you?

Choose EQS if...

• You want to consolidate whistleblowing with investor relations, ESG and compliance training under one vendor
• Another entity in your group has already standardised on their platform and alignment is the deciding factor
• You'd rather your vendor configure and maintain your setup than manage it in-house

Choose Whispli if...

✓ You want to own your configuration, adding entities, workflows and categories yourself, without vendor tickets
✓ Your platform is being wound down and you'd rather migrate once, to a platform you chose
✓ You want a focused speak-up platform, not modules you'll never open

A unique platform, created by a whistleblower

We built Whispli to help organisations protect their people and respond better, with security, anonymity and trust at the core.

Frequently asked questions

How does migrating from EQS work?

We've moved teams off EQS platforms before, so we know the path. We import your existing cases, configure your workflows and forms with you, and keep your reporting channels live throughout so employees never lose access. A full migration usually takes a few weeks to a couple of months depending on your setup and integrations. If a platform change is already coming with your renewal, this is one migration instead of two.

What happens if our vendor changes its roadmap?

Whispli is one platform, built and maintained as a single product. There's no legacy version being wound down behind the scenes and no forced migration waiting at your next renewal.

Who owns and controls our whistleblowing data?

You do. You choose where your data is hosted, across the EU, US, UK, UAE and Asia, and which provider hosts it, from AWS and Azure to a fully sovereign option like Scaleway. Reports never leave the region you select, and your encryption keys stay under your control.

Is Whispli only whistleblowing?

Whispli covers the full speak-up lifecycle: anonymous and named reporting, case management, investigations, and disclosure management including conflicts of interest, gifts and invitations, and pulse surveys. What we don't do is investor relations, ESG reporting or board portals. If consolidating all of that under one vendor is your priority, a broader GRC suite will serve you better.
