Chose Short.io
Our security officer said Short.cm's security practices were better than the others. I like Short.cm more than the others because of its interface and statistics dashboard.

Short.io
Short.cm is best suited where you need to type something with a character limit and you can't afford to add long links. Instead, you can shorten the link using Short.cm and paste it into the messaging app. Example: Twitter has a character limit for tweets. Short.cm is less appropriate for apps like Gmail, Slack, etc that have an inbuilt hyperlinking mechanism making Short.cm's usage is very minimal. (My personal experience).

Since Tiny URL is able to be customized to a certain extent, we are able to take a long link to our website or landing page and create a much shorter version to add into social and digital campaigns where characters are limited and space is needed analytically and visually

Alternatives Considered
Short.io
Short.io is much more versatile compared to Bitly, in addition to having the option to change the language to Spanish, Short.io has better accessibility, and more options to provide people looking for a page that provides them with information as vital as the clicks on the links, being the strongest reason to choose short that has Spanish language and is easier to use.
