Our verdict on EGroupware
EGroupware is an open-source collaboration and groupware platform for businesses, administrations, schools, universities, and other organizations. Its shared calendars support permissions, team views, invitations, alternative appointment searches, and video-conference links. Calendar synchronization covers CalDAV, ActiveSync, and the Outlook synchronizer, while mobile access is available through a browser. The wider platform adds contacts, tasks, projects, email, files, CRM, ticketing, workflows, chat, and online document editing through Collabora Online. It is available as a hosted service or for installation on an organization’s own infrastructure, with web, Linux, Windows, and macOS support.
The pricing structure supports several organizational models. The free Community Edition provides basic functionality, open-source access, and unlimited users. The eCloud NGO plan costs €21.90 per month for NGOs, associations, and schools, with 20 GB, unlimited users, a minimum of two concurrent users, and Jitsi meetings. The eCloud plan costs €24.90 per month for companies of all sizes with the same storage, user, concurrency, and meeting highlights. eFlat School costs €1,295 per year and includes 100 GB and unlimited concurrent users. EPL Smart costs €62.50 per month for SMEs and uses concurrent-user licensing. The eFlat and Universal plans have no displayed package price here; pricing also combines package, concurrent-user, and optional add-on charges.
EGroupware fits organizations that want calendars connected to a broader operational workspace rather than a standalone scheduling tool. Jitsi and BigBlueButton support video meetings, while Collabora Online, Rocket.Chat, Apache Guacamole, Placetel, CalDAV, CardDAV, WebDAV, and ActiveSync extend its ecosystem. Self-hosting and open-source access give organizations more deployment choice, while the hosted option provides cloud hosting in Germany. Teams primarily seeking native mobile apps, dedicated scheduling links, or focused time-blocking should consider a narrower calendar product. EGroupware is the stronger choice for organizations willing to adopt an integrated suite across calendars, communication, documents, and business operations.
