How we grade them
| 2.0GPACodeTwoFair | 2.2GPAOpensenseFair | |
|---|---|---|
| Value for money | CNo price is on record.

One person pays the same $500 a month, and a team of five at least $100 a head, deep in this category's dearest tenth; a success manager and 24/7 phone support are included. |

Key features
CodeTwo
- Cloud and Outlook signatures
- Signatures are added in the cloud after sending, so mail from any client or phone gets one, or by an Outlook add-in as people type. Either mode or both can be used.
- Outlook add-in deployed centrally
- The Outlook add-in, which runs in Outlook on Windows, Mac, the web, iOS and Android, is rolled out from the Microsoft 365 admin center with no install by staff.
- Entra ID placeholders and rules
- Signatures pull names, titles and photos from Microsoft Entra ID, and rules pick a signature by sender, recipient or user attributes.
- Organization-wide autoreplies
- Sets company-wide automatic replies and out-of-office messages from the same browser console.
- Campaigns and surveys
- Schedule marketing banners with tagged links for web analytics, and add one-click customer satisfaction surveys to signatures.
- Data kept in Azure regions
- Mail is relayed through Azure-hosted services, and settings can be kept in a chosen Azure region; CodeTwo says it does not store emails.

How this page was made
- The verdict at the top follows a fixed rule. When both tools are in the same category and either is in our top three for it, the verdict follows that ranking: the higher-placed tool is our pick. The top three weigh who each tool suits as well as its grades, so a pick can go against the GPA. Otherwise the page does not pick one and says which grades higher: the higher GPA first; on a tie, the one with a free plan, then the one that starts cheaper in dollars a month, counted the same way for both; if they are still level, what the choice depends on.
- The grades are our own, from each tool’s review or report card. The GPA is their average.
- Prices, plans and platforms come from each tool’s listing. The table above says where each price was read and when.
- The differences and the answers to the questions are worked out from those listings.
