Nextcloud vs Nuclino | TrustRadius

Likelihood to Recommend

Nextcloud is well suited in any collaboration scenario where users wants to share comments and resources as well as organize events or work together.

It is also very well suited for non-profit organizations as it is free to use and very simple even for non-tech users.

I can't imagine scenarios where it might not be appropriate as running requirements are minimal (php, mysql) so even a single user could find benefit to use it as an alternative for basic icloud or gmail use (files with desktop and mobile clients, calendar and address book).

One of the best tools for small team wiki/collaboration site. After setting things up in a day, there was almost no learning curve for the users. Not the best solution for bigger teams though. Because of the mobile apps, the user can be productive while on the move too! Desktop and web version are working fine.

Clean simple interface where users can onboard quickly and get to documenting - no "plugins" that the user has to learn to use.
Great structuring method which shows on the left-hand side allowing the user to drag-n-drop items in the hierarchy where they are needed quickly.
Ability to view history to see changes and export content into word and PDF formats.
Great search interface that quickly shows the results using auto-complete in keeping with the clean interface.

No real offline use is possible.
For small teams it's ok, but pricing is too high if lots of employees need to work with it.

Support Rating

Nextcloud 9.0

Based on 1 answer

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.

The Nuclino knowledge base is good. Most answers to your questions can be found there. I didn't need to contact support at all.

Alternatives Considered

Even excluding the budget and privacy concerns, we selected Nextcloud for its simplicity of use and the UI is very clear.

It just does what it is supposed to do.

No license.
Much, much ease of use.
Not opening several windows.
No un-useful services.
No automatic update.
Control over data.
Open-source software.
Integrations.

Nuclino is the clear winner when it comes to ease of use for both the administrator and user. Less setup time and less "training" time. The streamlined interface is quick and intuitive to learn and is not cluttered as compared to Confluence. Every tool you need to use to create a page or administer the workspace is available immediately on screen or by right-clicking. In contrast, Confluence buries many tools in administrative interfaces and only allows use of some features once you make several clicks to include a "macro" or "plug-in". We use both tools and I get complaints constantly from my team about how complicated Confluence can get just to author a quick page.

Having a central documentation allowed users to find data more quickly, which resulted in 50% less "question" type bugs that would appear in our queue.
Collaborating documentation before development resulted in less bugs; this is part process but the ease of sharing and making related documentation easy to access encouraged users into adapting the process.
Increased use in documentation allows support response time to be higher for triage since supporting documentation is ready to go.
