Similarities

Differences

  • OpenSaaS is the next generation of OBM. It's a rewrite in a different programming language while taking advantage of their extensive experience in the field. This has the "green field advantage"
  • WikiSuite was born out Tiki Wiki CMS Groupware to address the need to expand out and add new functionality by partnering up with complementary components. This has the advantage of a larger feature set and a more mature code base but the disadvantage of some feature overlap. Some glueware between the components is required. In some cases, it's seamless and clean because (ex.: it's using an open standard so it's a desired extension point anyway). In some other case, it's not so clean because it's to compensate for overlap between applications.
  • OpenPaaS does not support XMPP (but there are plans for a gateway) while WikiSuite picked Openfire to fully support XMPP and to participate to improving XMPP over the long term.
  • OpenPaaS is mail-centric. As of 2019-01, the mail stack of OpenPaaS is superior (more integrated) to WikiSuite's mail solution. The WikiSuite is actively working to close this gap: ClearOS, Cyrus IMAP 3 and JMAP development
