Privacy
Some privacy controls exist, but vendor-hosted infrastructure still handles a meaningful share of the data flow.
Good privacy posture for most teams, especially when self-hosted or carefully configured.
Google ADK pros
- Official Google backing
- Built-in evaluation framework
- Multi-agent orchestration
Majordomo pros
- Strong privacy story for users who care where data runs.
- Can handle meaningful autonomous work instead of acting only as a reactive chatbot.
Google ADK cons
- Python-only
- Development framework, not ready-to-use assistant
- Google Gemini API dependency
Majordomo cons
- Closed-source offering, so portability and vendor transparency are limited.
- Security posture is weak for high-trust or regulated workflows.
- Channel coverage is narrow, so distribution options are constrained.
Google ADK gotchas
- You should expect ongoing hosting, uptime, and secret-management work if you deploy it for real users.
Majordomo gotchas
- This is an add-on, not a full standalone assistant, so you will usually pair it with another agent.
- Recurring subscription or model spend can matter more than the headline feature list.
