Is NextCloud worth it for a company? (lemmy.ml)

I selfhosted my Nextcloud and really enjoyed it for personal use. One of my friends took a look into it and thought that it could be a good thing for his company that employees +200 people and growing... They are currently using Google Workspace but want to ditch it completely in favor of something that they can control themselves. So here's my question, is it worth to use NextCloud on a company of this size, is there a better alternative? Or should they just keep using Megacorporation's cloud solutions? If it is worth it, how much should I charge them for hosting it and doing the implementation and support?

It is worth it. How much you charge is up to you. A good start would be to use the pricing on Nextcloud's site as a gauge, seeing as you will be doing more than just the application. You will do the servers, VMs etc. as well. If your friend is at all worried about privacy, then get their company onto Nextcloud. That is my 2c. GL!
