I selfhosted my Nextcloud and really enjoyed it for personal use. One of my friends took a look into it and thought that it could be a good thing for his company that employees +200 people and growing… They are currently using Google Workspace but want to ditch it completely in favor of something that they can control themselves. So here’s my question, is it worth to use NextCloud on a company of this size, is there a better alternative? Or should they just keep using Megacorporation’s cloud solutions? If it is worth it, how much should I charge them for hosting it and doing the implementation and support?
I’m managing one for about 250 users. It’s been pretty reliable, but do prepare for some amount of trouble once in a while, including work on the database if things go really south. Nothing too difficult though if you understand SQL and web backends well enough.
It’s best to keep the installation clean and not install too many apps for the sake of performance.
So overall I’d say it’s worth it, yes.
