![]() ![]() First of all, they don't sell groupware, they have no groupware support options, so as SME, there is nothing at all. I won't claim that our groupware is as good as Zimbra's (calendar is very close, though), but we're catching up quick. Luckily, some of our partners can.Īnd we invest a LOT in groupware - we just released 1.3 of our mail client (blog coming tomorrow) and more big improvements come in about 6 weeks in Mail, and we also release Deck 1.0 next month (Kanban app) with some more nice work coming in Nextcloud 19. The fact that we don't sell <50 users is simply because we can't afford to do so. We do and spend as much as we can afford, as a small company, on things that benefit private users and very small businesses. We long ago figured you can't monetize these small instances, so we don't try at all.ĭoesn't mean we don't care about them. Businesses are not people and have no right to privacy, so the whole big-business side is simply to enable us to execute on our mission: pay people to make a privacy protecting, private cloud, for home users. We don't do any of those things as a business venture, but because we started Nextcloud (and, back then, ownCloud) simply because we want to provide a privacy-protecting solution for people. Not because it's great if you are SIEMENS but because a private user is up and running in 10 seconds with that. ok, a bonus 3rd example - we still put in engineering resources to support SQLite. Our portal redirects the user seamlessly to the closest one, but the user can choose another one from the list.ģ. For this a bunch of hosting providers in various countries run a free (2-5GB storage) Nextcloud instance with some special software on it and a contract with us (no money exchange) to guarantee they offer a certain level of quality, security and service. The same goes for the project we run under the name 'simple signup' on - there you can sign up to a locally hosted Nextcloud account as easy as it is to sign up to Dropbox: enter your email - enter a password - you're done. This was well over a year of hard work from multiple people.Ģ. About half our customers are 20 users but great for small businesses or private users. We mostly handle customers under 200 users or so via partners, see for example our work with IONOS/1&1 in Europe (starting at 5 users - ). You are mostly correct, from a business perspective, we target SMB and especially larger enterprises.
