Alibaba vs. KeepSec
Looking for an alternative to Alibaba ?
Is Alibaba or KeepSec right for you?
Founded in 2009 to serve users primarily in China, Alibaba now rivals the big three providers (Google, AWS and Microsoft Azure) globally after entering the U.S. market in 2015. According to Gartner ,Alibaba now ranks third among cloud service providers in worldwide market share.
Though Alibaba says that it complies with international regulations, including HIPAA in the United States and the European Union's General Data Protection Regulations (GDPR), questions remain given China’s historically lax approach to protecting consumer data. China just recently introduced a law protecting data privacy and is still navigating enforcement.
Many functionalities are still in beta: Alibaba is growing and innovating quickly, which means a big chunk of its emerging tools and capabilities are still in beta testing.
