eXo Platform

What eXo Platform is

eXo Platform brings internal communication, team collaboration, knowledge and content management, document sharing, social interaction, and employee engagement features into a digital workplace. Organizations can use it for corporate intranets, collaborative workspaces, project and team collaboration, knowledge bases, document management, and employee engagement. It is available on the web, iOS, and Android, with APIs and self-hosted deployment options. Version 7.2 can run in the cloud, a private cloud, or on-premise.

AI features can assist with searching, writing, organizing information, and automating low-value tasks. They are optional and configurable, follow user permissions and workspace boundaries, and require users to review and validate actions. Integration options include REST APIs and connections for external email, calendars, personal drives, directory services, identity providers, document systems, and electronic signatures. Listed security features include space-based access restrictions, fine-grained permissions, two-factor authentication, SSO, LDAP, and document quarantine. eXo says its platform processes data in line with GDPR guidelines and provides privacy management features to help clients follow GDPR.

The Hubs service has a 14-day free trial. The community version can be downloaded as a Docker image for deployment in a customer's environment. Paid plans start at $8 a month per user with annual billing; the Platinum plan has a 10-user minimum. Enterprise deployments include SLA-based support, while Hubs SaaS support is provided through documentation, a knowledge base, and FAQs.

Who it suits

eXo Platform suits organizations building an intranet, shared workspaces, knowledge base, or document management environment for employees. Its web and mobile access, deployment options, and configurable AI workflows may fit private companies, public-sector organizations, NGOs, and non-profits across different industries and sizes.

Limits

There is no free plan. The Platinum plan costs $8 a month per user with annual billing and requires a minimum of 10 users; eXo Hubs' free trial lasts 14 days.
