Impossible Cloud Object Storage vs. Nextcloud

I would recommend Impossible Cloud to anyone looking for an affordable, easy-to-scale cloud backup solution. For us, it was super important that our data is stored in a GDPR-compliant setup, where we know where it is. Having different data centers in Europe keeps the latency low. So if anything happens, we can get our data back quickly. Finally, the support was super fast and helpful.

For a SOHO business, this solution is ideal. You don't need to administrative overhead of other products like GSuite, and it saves licensing costs. The maintenance effort is minimal as long as you use their default applications. Migrations to newer versions can be done with a few commands and run automatically. If you're planning on using Nextcloud in large deployments with many users, you'll start to see higher costs on your resources and maintenance. There will be a point at which Gsuite becomes easier to manage.

• Easy setup.
• Fast support time.
• European sovereign GDPR compliant solution.

• Remote collaboration platform with just the right tools.
• Ease of access from any device, anywhere.
• Solid templates for development teams to collaborate without distraction.

It's super fast to set up. Add your bucket, and you're basically good to go and can run your backup. Also, it connects to the common backup tools (in our case, Veeam), so we didn't have to change anything in our setup except the place where our data is actually stored.

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. Also, check the Nextcloud Files app on your phone, which makes everything available at the touch of your fingers.

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.

In the end, the most important thing for us was full control over our data and a European solution. With it (luckily for us) came a cheaper price tag and better speed. Finally, you are not a ticket in a support center, but a valued customer. We could really feel that in the way the Impossible Cloud support team helped us when we ran into an issue.

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 ramp-up time. We once used ownCloud in previous years, but they went the wrong way, and have found Nextcloud to be the right direction over time.
