The secure self-hosted Microsoft Teams alternative
Get the professional collaboration of MS Teams without the cloud security risks. Host your own private communication server and reclaim 100% data ownership. No cloud-dependency, no third-party data access, just seamless team collaboration.
Why organizations are leaving the cloud
Using a cloud-based platform like Microsoft Teams means your proprietary information, internal discussions, and files are hosted on external servers. Virola provides a self-hosted Microsoft Teams alternative that keeps your data where it belongs: behind your own firewall.
- 100% data sovereignty: your admin controls the server, the backups, and the access logs.
- Air-gapped efficiency: Virola operates perfectly in closed networks without Internet access.
- Stable performance: a lightweight, high-concurrency architecture that doesn't bloat your existing hardware.
Professional features with in-house deployment
Everything your team needs to stay productive, hosted in-house:
| Feature | What Virola self-hosted messenger provides |
|---|---|
| Chat and channels | Group chat rooms with permanent chat history storage and adjustable user permissions |
| Voice and video meetings | Continuous video and audio conferencing with a recording feature. |
| Task management | An integrated Kanban board and the ability to turn chat messages into issues instantly |
| Screen sharing and remote control | Collaborative screen sharing and remote desktop control for IT support. |
| Data storage | Unlimited file transfer and storage, limited only by your own server capacity. |
Control your infrastructure and your costs
A major drawback of Microsoft Teams is the unpredictable licensing costs and the forced cloud updates. With Virola, you are in the driver's seat:
- Cost predictability: perpetual license with support of all version updates.
- Update control: you decide when to update your server to ensure 100% uptime during critical periods.
- Cross-platform: native clients for Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS, and Android, API for web integration.
Virola is designed to be a unified workspace, while MS Teams often feels clunky due to its heavy reliance on the broader Office 365 ecosystem. Virola is a streamlined, purpose-built on-premise messenger.
Stop sending your corporate data to the cloud. Empower your team with a stable, professional, and self-hosted Microsoft Teams alternative.
