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.

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.
