Hi! I am going to replace current self-hosted online office solution I use in NC. I’ve heard about ThinkFree Office. Do you have some.experience of using it as a self-hosted solution for collaboration in teams? If yes, please, share it.
If you’re hoping to get some genuinely helpful answers here, it might be a good idea to let us know which solution you’re currently using, what you’re not satisfied with, or what exactly you’re expecting from Thinkfree Office.
That said, Thinkfree integration with Nextcloud is still very new, and to be honest, I hadn’t even heard of Thinkfree before (which, of course, doesn’t necessarily mean anything ). So you may not find many users here who’ve already tried it with Nextcloud.
However, I did take a quick look at their website, and a few things stood out:
-
It’s not open-source, which would be a deal breaker for me — but maybe that’s not an issue for you.
-
The interface looks a bit like Office 95 with a modern twist. That might be a pro or a con depending on your taste.
-
In terms of features and Microsoft Office compatibility, I can’t say how it compares to OnlyOffice or Collabora. At first glance, based on the number of menu options, it seems to be simpler, which again could be a pro or a con, depending on your needs. That said, they offer a live demo and a 30-day trial, which should help you determine whether it provides the features you’re looking for.
