Nextcloud im Vergleich

Warum ist Nextcloud die beliebteste selbst gehostete EFSS- und Content Collaboration-Plattform?

Was Nextcloud zur besten Wahl macht

Höchste Sicherheit

Nextcloud wird in einem sicherheitsorientierten Entwicklungsprozess erstellt, der regelmäßig von externen Experten geprüft und durch unabhängige Sicherheitstests bestätigt wird.

Zu den branchenführenden Funktionen zählen KI-gestützter Anmeldeschutz, Zwei-Faktor-Authentifizierung, Brute-Force-Schutz sowie einzigartige Features wie Videoverifizierung, Ende-zu-Ende- und serverseitige Verschlüsselung.

Und wir bleiben nicht bei Versprechen: Mit unserem Bug-Bounty-Programm holen wir führende Sicherheitsexperten ins Boot – damit Ihre Daten jederzeit geschützt sind.

Größte Auswahl an Erweiterungen

Nextcloud ist die führende selbstgehostete Plattform für Dateisynchronisation und Zusammenarbeit und bietet die branchenweit größte Auswahl an Erweiterungen und Integrationen. Über 200 Apps liefern leistungsstarke Sicherheitsfunktionen, Produktivitätstools und nahtlose Infrastruktur-Integration.

Mit Nextcloud ersetzen Sie ein unübersichtliches Sammelsurium verschiedener SaaS-Plattformen – und beseitigen zugleich die damit verbundenen Herausforderungen in Bezug auf Sicherheit, Kosten, Compliance und Produktivität.

Einfachste Anwendung

Leistungsstarke Funktionen führen bei vielen Lösungen zu komplizierten Benutzeroberflächen, die Produktivität hemmen und die Akzeptanz im Unternehmen erschweren. Nextcloud geht einen anderen Weg: Die Plattform bietet volle Funktionalität, ohne Nutzer mit unnötiger Komplexität zu überfordern. Unsere Kunden berichten immer wieder, wie deutlich die Zahl der Supportanfragen für ihre IT-Teams sinkt.

Darüber hinaus setzt Nextcloud Maßstäbe in Sachen Barrierefreiheit: Tastatur- und Screenreader-Navigation, WCAG-2.1-konforme Kontraste und eine legastheniefreundliche Schriftart sind nur bei der führenden Plattform für Zusammenarbeit selbstverständlich.
