Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Offers a wide range of apps for efficient workflow and collaboration. Features like video calls and collaborative tools are great for team projects. Effective for both personal and business file storage and management.
  • The experience with Nextcloud has been very positive as a collaborative tool in the education sector.
  • Open source. Self Hosted - perfect for home use and absolutely free. Highly secure. Available on smartphones.
  • One of the pros of Nextcloud is that it has a number of providers for free, and you can choose a provider on a single click.
  • -slower, stable growth path of scale, scope and capabilities. -APP plugin market. -integration capabilities (excellent with ONLYOFFICE). -great starter for private person with growth path into small business. -fantastic community.

Cons

  • Requires self-hosting or setting up through a Nextcloud partner. I preferred not to set it up at the moment. Although, I am capable to host it as I have hosted ownCloud earlier. I did not want to deal with port forwarding and other server related issues. So, I chose to go with a Nextcloud partner which has worked flawlessly for me.
  • To date I cannot consider a negative criterion, the developers are going in the right direction.
  • The client doesn't work well for uploading large number of small files (like old photos on phone).
  • For the time I've used the Nextcloud providers, I haven't found any issues to my attention.
  • -quality review of app plugins could be better (what works well for what version). -version handling (plugin capabilities seem to often link to specific versions). -needs to expand on developer and community efforts.

Pros & Cons from Real Users

Pros

  • Secure database, short upload times, good search features to find past uploaded documents, easy to use once certain functions are enabled, download notifications to see who has received the items requested/uploaded.
  • From file storage to file sharing SmartVault provides a secured and seamless platform for business. I liked its collaboration features. It's easy to transfer files around anywhere. The interface is also easy to understand.
  • It provides cloud storage of documents so we can access them from anywhere. It saves the file in encrypted for for absolute security. Features like eSign, version control and scan integration helps a lot.
  • The product is good, not too complicated, and not expensive especially compared to some of the bigger names.
  • It's an easy product to learn. And even easier to walk a client through how to set up their access. All I have to do is send and email, then the client takes a few steps to set up their log in information, and with a few clicks they are ready to send and receive sensitive information through a secure portal!

Cons

  • Difficult to navigate between folders in an account from an non-administrative end, upload process can be confusing when trying to upload to specific folders, pinning folders to Home Screen is not intuitive and using pinned folders is confusing because the "Add" button does not mean upload but means add another pinned folder.
  • There's no downside I experienced on this platform.
  • The app user interface is very simple which makes it easy to use and understand. The app has no cons.
  • I wish there was an app for clients to use on their phone.
  • Nothing that I dislike enough to mention. Sometimes the search bar takes a few seconds to catch up, but that could also be my computer with several other large programs running.
