Considered Both Products	Beekast No answer on this topic	Nextcloud Robert Hrovat Head of IT department Chose Nextcloud Nextcloud is actually a fork of ownCloud. We chose Nextcloud because of its much faster development. Incentivized Helpful? Joseph Brower Owner and Lead Developer Chose Nextcloud Nextcloud was the only solution that would authenticate with Microsoft 365 while also running on all of their machines, handle absurdly high file number counts, and the occasional large file. We couldn't find other platforms that would do that at all, or that would say they … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Nextcloud PIM and file sharing are the same as you get in Google's Drive/Calendar. With extensions, you can also implement web meetings (e.g., by using Jitsi), but this comes with more administrative effort. In the end, this comes down to how big of a user/customer base you are … Incentivized Helpful? Erik Uden CEO (Chief Executive Officer) Chose Nextcloud CryptPad, OneDrive, PicoShare CryptPad has end-to-end encryption client-side, a feature Nextcloud desperately needs, but much worse documentation, is much harder to setup, obviously slower due to the encryption, and has no clients for any device, it is browser only. OneDrive is … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Nextcloud Main feature is the possibility to self host your files and have control over your data (especially if it is sensitive and you want to host the data in house). Others provide good services too, but thinking about GDPR this is the easiest route you can take. Since we use it for … Incentivized Helpful? 🐿 Matthew Karsten Purple Squirrel Media Chose Nextcloud We prefer Nextcloud over Trello and Google Workspace as Nextcloud is considerable easier to use, access and manage. Tools like Trello and Google Workspace come with a powerhouse suite of products that are designed to work together. Nextcloud offers a solution that is just the … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Nextcloud On-premise solution good for control and cost (in our case). Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Nextcloud I'm comparing, but it wasn't a problem for me, because I couldn't use it because of the security of the company that manages our Office 365. But, both allow practically the same options, they are fast, among others. Maybe Office 365 handles the Word, Excel, etc. files better, … Incentivized Helpful? JM Joost Mulder CEO Chose Nextcloud Dropbox was no longer an option due to their hosting policy. We needed an EU-based solution, preferably open source and self-hosted. There were also security leaks with Dropbox in the past. OneDrive is dreadfully slow, Nextcloud is as fast as you want it to be. On a dedicated … Incentivized Helpful? Nafisha Labiba Business Development Manager Chose Nextcloud Nextcloud is easy to set up an[d] easy to use because of its user-friendly interface. Some of the features offered by this application [are] much better and effective compared to OneDrive. Overall, Nextcloud is just amazing and as an organization we are extremely happy with … Incentivized Helpful? Verified User Anonymous Chose Nextcloud Nextcloud stacks up pretty well against Mattermost and ownCloud. I really appreciate the fact that Nextcloud seems to integrate with other products pretty seamlessly and allows for extensibility that our product team can extend and improve functionality without a tremendous … Incentivized Helpful? Joe Foran Director Of Information Technology and HIPAA Privacy Officer Chose Nextcloud As an offshoot (fork) of ownCloud, Nextcloud has a slightly better feature set and more integrations. Both products perform their core function of web-based file access admirably, but Nextcloud has gone above and beyond with the recent release of Hub in version 21. That it is … Incentivized Helpful? JC Joseph Costa CEO (Chief Executive Officer) Chose Nextcloud Even excluding the budget and privacy concerns, we selected Nextcloud for its simplicity of use and the UI is very clear.

User Testimonials
	Beekast	Nextcloud
Likelihood to Recommend	No answers on this topic	While searching for tools to satisfy a quickly scaling online startup, we found Nextcloud is well suited for today's remote collaborative team. Nextcloud has just the right toolset for a collaborative workspace including video, chat, many file formats accepted, and intuitive user interface. Comparatively other popular tools like Trello were distracting with more features than functionality. Working with Nextcloud is much like having a workspace with all your content and tools available anywhere on any device, without the ads, distractions, and irrelevant functionality. We will continue to utilize Nextcloud as a remote workspace for evolving and scaling teams. Incentivized 🐿 Matthew Karsten Purple Squirrel Media Read full review
Pros	No answers on this topic	File sharing (internal, public or federated). One software, many activities (files, address book, calendar, chat, edit, email) ... Groupware, sharing between users or groups is really easy and finely controlled. Integrations and many apps. JC Joseph Costa CEO (Chief Executive Officer) Read full review
Cons	No answers on this topic	Slow in comparison to other solutions May be complex for the start since there are lots of apps and features May be not focusing on core topics Incentivized Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Usability	No answers on this topic	It's easy to use and easy to maintain. It also provides many useful programs and plugins to make work even more productive; just check what's available and how you could use them to your advantage.

Support Rating	No answers on this topic	I never needed support as everything always worked fine. The documentation on Nextcloud website is extensive and clear. The community is very active on the forum and should support you if you don't already find what you are looking for. JC Joseph Costa CEO (Chief Executive Officer) Read full review
Alternatives Considered	No answers on this topic	PIM and file sharing are the same as you get in Google's Drive/Calendar. With extensions, you can also implement web meetings (e.g., by using Jitsi), but this comes with more administrative effort. In the end, this comes down to how big of a user/customer base you are supporting. For small enterprises, Nextcloud stacks up very well against its big competitors. At a large scale, you will have increased maintenance and resource costs which you need to check against licensing fees for the cloud providers. Verified User Anonymous Read full review
Return on Investment	No answers on this topic	It allowed us access to our files from any device over the internet. It helped manage and organize our file sharing with third parties. It provided a secure wrapper for accessing files. Joe Foran Director Of Information Technology and HIPAA Privacy Officer Read full review
