People are at the heart of everything we do. With HumHub, we help your organization to connect and collaborate. Each User has their own profile. Depending on their permissions, Users can post, comment, create and edit collaborative projects and keep up with the latest news.

Spaces

Spaces are our rooms, groups and subgroups. Structure your network the way it is most attractive for you. For example, Spaces can be your offices, departments or projects. Users can be added and mapped individually to specific Spaces.

Open Source & Datenschutz:

As Germany based company with headquarter in Munich, we have made a conscious decision to build an Open Source software. The source code of HumHub is public and if you host your instance On-Premise, you will always be in control of your network and data. If desired, we will host your network as Software as a Service (SaaS solution). Our hosting is GDPR compliant and hosted according to current data protection regulations. With the SaaS variant, we also take care of the ongoing maintenance of your network, including all updates and backups.

Community:

Our great Community with thousands of members around the globe actively participates in the development processes and is a unique selling proposition that none of our competitors has. This allows us to ensure continuous further development of our software and to offer our Professional Edition at a significantly lower price than comparable products. Thanks to our Community, HumHub is also translated into more than 30 languages. Among them English, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Portuguese and Arabic.
