    OwnCloud is groupware. SparkleShare is a file-sync storage solution. Just because they have overlapping functionality, does NOT make them interchangeable.

    We tried owncloud but the time to implement was too long. We switched to FileCloud and had good support and were able to go live in 2 weeks.
