I'm feeling overwhelmed by our current SaaS expenses, which are racking up to about $3,000 a month. Management is keen on cutting costs, so I'm curious to know which self-hosted alternatives people have had success with in production. I'm particularly interested in tools for project management and collaboration, as those seem crucial.

I feel you on the SaaS costs! A good start is to list your biggest expenses and look for open-source alternatives. Sure, some tools like Google Workspace are tough to replicate, but projects like Nextcloud are pretty promising for file sharing and collaboration. I've heard it integrates well with other software too.
Yeah, I’ve been hearing good things about Nextcloud too. A coworker set it up, and apparently even some government agencies are using it!
