Nextcloud, Razuna, ResourceSpace, Frontify

Side by side on what we have verified on each vendor’s own pages. Where a fact was not checked, the table says so rather than leaving a blank that reads as “no”.

Most common complaint
It is a file platform with DAM features rather than a DAM: asset-level metadata and rights are thinner
On-premise is available only in the enterprise tier, whose price is not published
The free route is genuinely free of licence fees but moves hosting, upgrades and support onto you
The MAU model favours occasional users, but there is no figure to verify that with

“Not checked” means exactly that: we have not verified it, not that the platform lacks it. Every other value was read off the vendor’s own pages on the date shown on each platform page.

What to ask on the demo

One question per platform, drawn from what actually goes wrong with it — not a generic checklist. Vendors run the demo; this hands the agenda back to you.
