What people like

Docs, calendar, contacts, talk and file sync all live under one self-hosted roof, so you can genuinely replace a chunk of Google Workspace with a single install. A huge app-store ecosystem covers everything from Kanban boards to a password manager.

Worth knowing

Running it well takes real server admin know-how – updates, backups and performance tuning are on you unless you pay for hosted or enterprise support.
