- Anjuna vs cloud-native TEEs: The vendor positions Seaglass as enabling heterogeneous confidential computing to be operated through one software stack, which is intended to reduce custom integration work. Procurement teams should validate portability claims with technical POCs across targeted clouds and TEEs.
- Cloud provider advantage: Native cloud confidential compute offerings may avoid third-party licensing fees but can require significant internal engineering effort to implement secret-release and attestation workflows.
- Platform vendor advantage: Vendors such as Anjuna and Fortanix provide tooling around attestation, secret release, and deployment ergonomics, which may reduce custom engineering effort depending on the customer’s existing platform capabilities.
