Source: https://www.zenml.io/blog/crewai-pricing

Can ZenML be self-hosted?

Yes. ZenML can be deployed cloud / SaaS, hybrid, on-premise and self-hosted, so it does not have to run on the vendor's infrastructure.

Source: https://www.zenml.io/blog/crewai-pricing

What does ZenML integrate with?

We have confirmed 4 integrations for ZenML, including Git, Kubernetes, Docker and Poetry. This is what we could verify from public sources, so the vendor may support others we have not indexed.

Source: https://www.zenml.io/blog/crewai-pricing

What security certifications does ZenML have?

We have independently confirmed SOC 2 and ISO 27001 for ZenML. Certifications we do not list are ones we have not been able to verify from public sources, which is not the same as ZenML not holding them. Always confirm compliance directly before you rely on it.

Source: https://www.zenml.io

Is ZenML open source?

Yes. ZenML is published under the Apache-2.0 licence, a permissive licence that generally allows commercial use and modification. Licence terms can change between releases, so verify against the repository for the version you intend to use.

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 ZenML, not the verdict.
