No vendor lock-in
Element is built on the Matrix open standard. Migrating to another hosting provider, or moving on-premise, is a simple DNS switch. It’s just as easy to switch to another Matrix-based app too. So there’s no vendor lock-in, or loss of historic data.
Custom DNS
Set up Element with your own custom web client domain (webchat.example.com), server domain (your-company.com) and user IDs (@you:example.com).
Select your hosting region
Element Enterprise Cloud allows you to select your hosting region (Europe, Asia, US, Australia).
Open standard for secure interoperability
Element is built on Matrix, an open standard protocol, so it’s natively interoperable with any other Matrix-based platform.
That makes it easy to connect with external parties and protects against vendor lock-in, giving enterprises the freedom to switch where their data is hosted or even the app itself.
Open source
Element and Matrix are open source; anyone is invited to examine the code. It also ensures there’s a vibrant ecosystem developing alternatives, add-ons and extensions.
Internal only closed federation
Closed federation is one or multiple homeservers that are interconnected to create a private network for a single organisation. Only users within this private network can exchange messages.
Closed federation for an ecosystem
Closed federation can support multiple homeservers that are interconnected across multiple organisations; such as a conglomerate, supply chain or ecosystem. Users can join on an invite-only basis, complete with powerful identity and access controls.
Open federation
Even though a private federation is completely isolated, there is a free, public Matrix-based federation with millions of users across thousands of servers. It offers a secure messaging and VoIP solution for reaching the wider public.
Border gateways
Bring an extra layer of security and control when federating internally, across an ecosystem or even - if desired - the wider public Matrix network.
Cross-domain gateways
Cross-domain gateways enable connectivity between Matrix-based deployments, including private environments, while maintaining a high level of security. It supports communications between high-side and low-side environments, with configurable rules-based access.
