CodeTwo and Conbool — side by side.

If you're looking for central signature and disclaimer management with EU hosting, it pays to look at the differences with CodeTwo. This page compares publicly verifiable points — as of May 2026.

In three sentences

What matters.

CodeTwo is an established Polish vendor for email signatures and Microsoft 365 management tools with long market presence. Conbool Disclaimer is a German alternative with EU hosting and signature management as part of a broader email security platform. Which fits depends on your hosting requirement, integrations needed and licensing preference.

The five most common questions, side by side.

Every statement about CodeTwo links to a public source. Every Conbool claim is verifiable in a demo.

Where is my data hosted?

Conbool Disclaimer

Exclusively in EU data centres on ISO 27001-certified infrastructure. Contract party and data processor is Conbool GmbH in Germany.

CodeTwoCodeTwo

CodeTwo operates cloud regions in the EU and North America according to the vendor. Which region is active for your tenant is governed by the contract. CodeTwo is a Polish company headquartered in Jelenia Góra.

Why it matters: EU hosting matters for GDPR; a German contract party can be a contractual advantage under regulatory requirements (BSI C5, KRITIS).

How is the signature technically applied?

Conbool Disclaimer

Server-side in the mail flow: the signature is created at send time on the server. Endpoints need neither add-ins nor local templates. Outlook desktop, web and mobile show identical signatures.

CodeTwoCodeTwo

CodeTwo Email Signatures for Office 365 supports both methods: server-side in the Microsoft 365 mail flow or client-side in Outlook. Which method is active is governed by the rule setting.

Source: codetwo.com — Email Signatures for Office 365 documentation.

Why it matters: Server-side guarantees consistency; client-side offers live preview. Both solutions support server-side — the main difference is hosting and licensing.

How is licensing structured?

Conbool Disclaimer

Modular per feature — you can activate Disclaimer alone or together with MailGuard, SecureMail and SecureFiles. Term monthly or yearly without multi-year commitment.

CodeTwoCodeTwo

CodeTwo is typically licensed per mailbox per year. Current terms are handled by sales or the pricing portal.

Source: codetwo.com — pricing page.

Why it matters: For signature-only needs, both solutions compare per-mailbox cleanly. For broader email security modules, Conbool's modularity stands out.

How do AD and HR integrations work?

Conbool Disclaimer

Native sync with Active Directory, Entra ID and HR systems (e.g. Personio, Workday). Data source is configurable per field — name from AD, photo from HR.

CodeTwoCodeTwo

CodeTwo syncs with Microsoft Entra ID and Active Directory. External HR integrations are possible via CSV import or PowerShell scripts.

Source: codetwo.com — Integrations and tutorials.

Why it matters: For modern HR platforms with native connectors, Conbool fits. For pure Microsoft setups, both work.

How quick is the rollout?

Conbool Disclaimer

Mail-flow connector configuration under 30 minutes. First template is created in the admin portal in 10 minutes and can go live immediately — with a pilot group before broad rollout.

CodeTwoCodeTwo

CodeTwo offers a guided onboarding with a setup wizard. Initial configuration takes a few hours depending on template complexity.

Source: codetwo.com — Getting Started Guide.

Why it matters: Rollout time is a direct cost driver in IT projects. Both solutions are productive within days — detailed tuning happens iteratively.

Migration checklist

What to watch for when migrating away from CodeTwo.

Replacing CodeTwo typically runs in four steps — focused on template migration and the mail-flow switch.

  1. 1. Export current CodeTwo rules

    From the CodeTwo admin console export all active signature rules, banner sets and targeting configurations. These serve as templates for Conbool.

  2. 2. Switch data sources to Conbool

    If CodeTwo uses its own data store, attribute fields (name, role, phone, photo) are reconnected to AD / Entra ID / HR. Conbool uses direct connector sync.

  3. 3. Switch the mail-flow connector

    The CodeTwo connector in the Microsoft 365 mail flow is replaced by the Conbool connector. In the transition only one of them may have the active signature rule — otherwise double signatures.

  4. 4. Run out the CodeTwo licenses

    After migration validation the CodeTwo licenses are cancelled or run out. Back up templates and banner campaigns for audit purposes.

A pilot phase with 1–2 departments is recommended before broad rollout. The most common error is double signatures when both connectors have active rules.
