More organisations want a workplace made in Europe. Here are six options as they describe themselves, checked on 19 October 2026, with Dazr among them. Each one fits a different need.
Six options at a glance.
From each provider’s own pages. The sources are listed at the end of this page.

How to choose.
Three questions decide most of it.
Dazr, Office.eu and Proton are hosted services you sign up for. openDesk and Nextcloud you run on your own servers or with a provider, and Euro-Office adds editors to such platforms.
Dazr covers mail, chat, calendar, files, documents, signatures, helpdesk, projects and compliance under one account. Euro-Office covers the editors; Nextcloud and openDesk combine several open source parts.
Dazr is in Italy, Office.eu in the Netherlands, Nextcloud and ZenDiS in Germany. Proton is in Switzerland, which is in Europe but outside the EU.
Why teams pick Dazr.
Everything a company needs every day, ready the day you sign up.
Mail, chat and calls, calendar, documents, signatures, a helpdesk, projects and compliance, made by one team and opened with one account. Learn one app and you know them all.
Dazr Docs, Sheets and Slides open and save real .docx, .xlsx and .pptx files, so anyone with Office can keep working on them.
From Microsoft 365, your admin approves Dazr once and Dazr moves everyone’s files, mail, contacts and calendars, server to server.

Questions, answered.
Which European alternative to Microsoft 365 is best?
It depends on what you need. For one hosted workplace with mail, files, documents and more under one account, Dazr is ready the day you sign up. To run everything on your own servers, look at openDesk or Nextcloud.
Is Euro-Office the same as Office.eu?
No. Euro-Office is open source editing software from an alliance of European companies. Office.eu is one of its members and runs its own hosted suite.
