What differentiates NextCloud Files from other similar products?
What I value most about Nextcloud is its integration with other devices, such as mobile phones and other OS platforms. For administrators, Nextcloud provides a "one button" check on all server security features. Furthermore, Nextcloud offers fantastic advice on how to fortify your server. It was really easy to manage users, shared projects, and deadlines using Nextcloud's calendar.
What is your favorite aspect of this product?
It's great that customers can utilize features that are similar to those of OneDrive. It's also a benefit since the fundamental elements, like the calendar and photo album, are available and used by everyone. Because the calendar corresponds with industry standards, smartphones can sync with it. It uses WebDAV and is free and open-source software. We can use our other ERP systems and website to supplement and expand the main software.
What do you dislike most about this product?
Sometimes the UI could be easier to use and necessitates more clicks than necessary. Furthermore, Nextcloud offers several improvements that may need clarification for the user if you are not an expert in PHP or web servers. That's a little disheartening because Nextcloud could have made the administrator's job easier if it had conducted a more thorough investigation of the environment surrounding its server and offered more detailed instructions.
What recommendations would you give to someone considering this product?
It's a solid cloud solution for files, calendars, and contacts. The free program can be modified by adding your features. Upgrades or modifications are not required. If Nextcloud is only used internally after installation, it can persist for decades. Comparing folder syncing to Nextcloud's adaptability takes a lot of work. The Hub's apps, on the other hand, focus on expanding its use into a wider spectrum than other services can.
