| Fact | Drovio | Saros |
|---|---|---|
| Purpose | Drovio lets distributed teams share an IDE, app, or screen for pair programming, code reviews, coding interviews, and remote collaboration. | Saros is an open-source IDE plugin for distributed collaborative software development. |
| Self-hosting | The Enterprise edition lets customers run Drovio Server on their own infrastructure, including air-gapped networks. | Users can host their own server and keep session communication within their network. |
Drovio suits distributed teams that need to collaborate in shared coding or design applications, or conduct interviews and brainstorming sessions. The browser joining option may suit participants who do not want to install the app.
Saros suits software teams using Eclipse or IntelliJ-platform IDEs who need to edit shared files together. Teams that need voice or audio communication should plan to use a separate tool.
