Why Teams are Switching from Fathom to Fellow
Fellow gives you the compliance controls your procurement team requires, the governance your CISO can approve, and the AI workflows and integrations your team will actually use.
Enterprise governance
Audit logs, redaction, and admin controls that hold up under scrutiny.
Fellow ships a full regulated-industries governance stack: exportable audit logs, manual transcript redaction (removed from the recording, transcript, summary, and action items), a Super Admin API for programmatic retention management, Global Relay archiving for FINRA/SEC books-and-records compliance, and SCIM provisioning across multiple IdPs — not just Okta. These aren't add-ons. They're the foundation.

Enterprise
Privacy and security
Your data doesn't train anyone's model — by default.
Fellow does not train on customer data, period. Fathom's sub-processors are contractually barred from training, but Fathom itself uses de-identified customer data to improve its own models by default — requiring an active opt-out. For a regulated buyer, that default posture is typically a red flag in a security review. Fellow's posture isn't.

Data retention
Delete what regulators don't want. Keep what the business needs
Fellow's zero-day retention deletes raw recordings and transcripts immediately after AI processing — preserving only summaries and action items. Need different schedules for raw recordings vs. AI summaries? Fellow supports decoupled retention policies. Fathom offers a single org-wide retention policy, only on its top tier, with no zero-day option.
