Nextcloud vs XWiki Collaboration Suite

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).

XWiki offers a very rich API for creating enterprise applications quickly that are easy to maintain and evolve collaboratively.
XWiki templating and skinning system is extremely flexible and powerful.

While the basic pieces are available for turning XWiki into an advanced semantic system, some features could be made available more prominently to the user for easing the use of faceted and typed links, paving the way for a new era of collaborative knowledge sharing.

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.

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.
