Let's list data types according to The MECE principle, (mutually exclusive and collectively exhaustive)
Types of data for any organization | Solution in WikiSuite | Rating | Why this rating | Other apps |
Structured data, forms and calculations (end user databases) | TikiTrackers.org and Calculations | A | As far as we know, the most feature-complete Open Source Web-Based database/form creator, with over 50 field types. And there are multiple advanced features such as Shared Secrets | LibreOffice Calc and Base |
Unstructured data / documentation / policies / procedures / diagrams | Tiki's Wiki Engine / Diagram / PDF | A | Very powerful and mature | MediaWiki, LibreOffice Writer, Impress and Draw |
End user programming | Advanced Wiki Syntax | A | Very powerful, and leverages all the power of Tiki, the Free / Libre / Open Source web application with the most built-in features. | |
Files | Tiki File Galleries, Virtualmin file system, Syncthing | B | Has many features, but UI needs a modernization. Each app works fine as standalone, but no integration with rest of WikiSuite | NextCloud |
Chat | Openfire | B | Partial integration in rest of Tiki (ex.: users are integrated but not search) | See list at Why Openfire |
Identity Management / Users / groups | Tiki Users, Groups, Registration, External Authentication / Virtualmin users and Webmin/OpenLDAP | C | Tiki User Trackers require too much configuration | OpenLDAP |
Real Time / Videoconference / Screencast | Jitsi Meet | C | Works fine as standalone, but no integration with rest of WikiSuite | |
Threads: News / Blogs / Forums / Mailing Lists / Comments | Tiki Articles, Blogs, Forums, Comments | C | Features are OK but UI needs a modernization | Discourse |
Monitoring / Activity Stream / Logs | Tiki Activity Stream, Tiki Logs, and Virtualmin logs | C | Need an expert to configure | |
OS / Virtual machine | MeshCentral | D | MeshCentral is great but there is no integration with the rest of WikiSuite | |
Email (Usually means contacts and calendars as well) | Tiki Webmail with Cypht and Tiki Newsletters | D | Poor integration between webmail and other tools like contacts and calendar. Work is ongoing to improve Cypht (ex.: add draft feature) and to have a nicer integration: https://dev.tiki.org/Email-as-a-first-class-citizen | Roundcube |
