Nextcloud

"The all-in-one platform for business applications"

Vorteile: Its easy to use, stable and dependable, extremely customisable, and works across all mobile and desktop operating systems. Perhaps most importantly, through the built in app store, it serves as a platform for many other key business applications which we need, such as collaborative document editing, calendar and contact sync and share, internal knowledge base (wiki), and more.

Nachteile: It could be easier to get set up. The video conferencing features so far didn't work reliably on our installation.

"Great file sync and share offering"

Kommentare: Nextcloud is awesome because it allows me to backup personal and financial information on my own storage system so that I am in control of the data. It also makes it easy to share that data between computers and users.

Vorteile: The software is easy to setup and keep up to date. It notifies you when new version are available and makes it easy to quickly install the updates. Creating user accounts is simple and allows different users to store their data on Nextcloud. Sharing between users is quick and painless and makes it easy for information to be made available to the people who need it.

Nachteile: Updating user clients can be a challenge some times but eventually I have been able to get them to work.

"Store and share your files"

Kommentare: Simple to use, simple to update. A tool that can make you forget yourself and you wonder how you used to work.

Vorteile: the best opensource software to store and share your files.
Numerous add-ons, version 20 is very good !
And 100% GPDR compliant !

Nachteile: compatibility with other online tools is still under development, there is some improvement since version 20 but it still requires efforts.

"NC as private cloud solution"

Kommentare: We have our critical data in our own controlled cloud environment. Our teams are spread all over the place in Germany, therefore NC is an excellent solution to support our collaboration.

Vorteile: Easy to setup and ease of use. Clients available on all plattforms (W10, OSX, iOS, Linux). Integratrion with Active Directory is quite essential for us. Easy to administrate. UNIX Platform. It is very robust!

Nachteile: That there is no integration with MS-SharePoint or MS-o365. This is really neccessary in todays world, although I am not a MS fan at all, but for business purposes this is really essential!

"Perfect Google Drive Alternative for the Tech Savy, but a ways to go for the general populace"

Kommentare: Nextcloud is great for people who are tech-savvy and want to reduce privacy concerns brought forth by having all of your data saved to the cloud.
Nextcloud should look into selling small mediacenter-style computers that have Nextcloud pre-installed on them, in cooperation with a hosting service, so that a layman could just plug it in, answer a few questions, and be up and running in minutes.

Vorteile: Nextcloud is a fantastic software that gives so many features for free to users to host their own data. The interface is very simple and attractive, and the mobile app and client-side software make it a great replacement for Google Drive

Nachteile: Inherent with the versatility of the software, Nextcloud is limited to who can use it. It's very complicated to set up your own server for a non-tech user, and I feel this will be a barrier preventing it from growing.
