While both of those are great software. Unless I'm not aware of something they aren't cloud/network based office suites like Google docs and office 365.

It seems this is an alternative to office software where you can work simultaneously and share documents in the same cloud/network.

I don't think there is an alternative to office 365 and Google docs at this point that is open source. So this seems like a great project and I'll definitely be considering it for our company.

What about Collabora Online? It integrates nicely into Nextcloud, but I am not sure about pricing for business use.

Thanks I'll definitely check that out. I've seen some posts about it working on Synology Nas devices so that's very interesting.

There's onlyoffice for cloud based office

Onlyoffice seems a little slack on the security and updates. I saw the warnings in the desktop package, have they made sure the online offerings are secure?

There is nextcloud and others you can self host at least.
