What platforms does Portkey support?
Portkey supports the web and a command-line interface. Platforms we have not confirmed are simply not listed here rather than ruled out.
Source: https://portkey.ai
Can Portkey be self-hosted?
Yes. Portkey can be deployed cloud / SaaS and self-hosted, so it does not have to run on the vendor's infrastructure.
Source: https://portkey.ai
What does Portkey integrate with?
We have confirmed 13 integrations for Portkey, including OpenAI, Google Cloud (Vertex AI, Gemini), Azure, AWS, GCP, Langgraph, CrewAI and Strands Agents, plus 5 more. This is what we could verify from public sources, so the vendor may support others we have not indexed.
Source: https://portkey.ai
What security certifications does Portkey have?
We have independently confirmed SOC 2, ISO 27001, HIPAA and GDPR for Portkey. Certifications we do not list are ones we have not been able to verify from public sources, which is not the same as Portkey not holding them. Always confirm compliance directly before you rely on it.

The vioscaleAI score: one lens on the evidence
Not user reviews and not a paid placement: a confidence-weighted blend of the independent signals below (adoption, activity, security posture, and more), which you can sort and re-weight yourself. Vendors can correct their listing but can never move their rank, and stars are weighted low as a vanity metric. It is one way to read the evidence for Portkey, not the verdict.
