Are you a small business (under 50 users) that needs to share and collaborate on documents internally and with partners but can’t use SaaS platforms for security, compliance or privacy reasons? If this sounds like your organization, Cells may be the right solution for you. And best of all, there is a free version tailored for small businesses.
Pydio Cells is a highly secure, cloud-native, scalable, self-hosted, open-core document sharing and collaboration platform that is intuitive for end users and powerful for admins - wow, that was a mouthful.
Here are a few of the reasons Cells might be right for your organization:
Although it was initially designed as a document-sharing and collaboration platform our clients are using Cells in a variety of different ways that you might find helpful.
Most of our clients tell us they no longer use file transfer solutions like WeTransfer or Dropbox and just rely on Pydio.
Cells provides a winning combination of advanced document management features and powerful sharing and collaboration capabilities. Our clients tell us they love the fact they don’t have to operate (and pay for) two separate platforms.
Virtual data rooms are still a functionality many organizations need to share and collaborate on sensitive documents. like financials and M&A. Cells can also double as your data room solution.
Maybe it’s just fancy marketing-speak for a sharing and collaboration tool, but several of our clients tell us they use Cells as their document portal.
Cells can manage more than just files; it is also a great tool for storing, managing, cataloging and sharing a wide range of files. So for several of our clients, Cells plays the role of a DAM solution.
If you can’t find the knowledge your organization creates, then you can’t leverage it. Clients tell us that they take advantage of Cells’ metadata, tagging, automation and advanced search to look after their knowledge management needs.
If you need advanced or enterprise features like white labeling, SSO, enhanced security protocols like MFA and ACLs, customizable automation or premium support, check out our Connect and Enterprise packages to find out which package fits your needs.
