The Self-Hosted Alternative to Teams

In 2024, Skype for Business Server reached end of support and stopped receiving security updates, leaving systems exposed to cyberattacks. Microsoft recommends migrating to Teams, but for organizations with sensitive data or strict compliance requirements, this isn’t always a safe or viable option.
While Teams is popular, it lacks self-hosting, privacy controls, and flexibility that many businesses need.
Virola brings together all essential team communication tools in one secure platform - no compatibility issues, smoother workflows, and stronger data protection.
Below is a feature comparison of Skype for Business Server, Microsoft Teams, and Virola Messenger.
