What's the best replacement for google workspace?
I applaud the effort in this list but at times it looks like comparing apples to oranges. You can't replace workspace or m365 with any of those things unless you're not really using it fully to begin with. People use it as groupware and you can't replace that by stuff like libre office. I've dabbled a bit with zimbra but to think an average user like my friends and family could do this is even more silly.
I wish I had the time and money to literally set up a cheap groupware solution for people but realistically the effort put into that scales so hard it doesn't make sense unfortunately.
I thought that was the direction Nextcloud was working towards?
I dropped NC when it was starting to head in that direction, so I'm out of touch with it now
That's interesting indeed. Checked out some of them near me and on features they seem to offer something at least. But for me it shows the scale clearly unfortunately. M365 family is costing me 100 euro a month and gives my family members 1TB OneDrive storage each . (So 5TB) Logically the partners using next cloud don't seem to offer that for something even approaching this price point.
But it is good to know and worth mentioning as an alternative groupware solution! Thanks for that!
