HumHub GmbH & Co. KG, the company that develops HumHub, sells its own editions: a Professional Edition as SaaS or on-premise, and an Enterprise Edition. CUZY is an independent partner that hosts the community edition. Both run the same core; here is when HumHub's offer is the better fit, and we will gladly send you there.
CUZY does not offer them, on any plan.
Advanced LDAP (Active Directory with group and space mapping), SAML SSO, SCIM provisioning, Enterprise Theme, News, Limited User Admin, E-Mail Whitelist, Advanced Search, Apache Solr, Translation Manager and Whitelabel are reserved to HumHub's Professional Edition. On CUZY, directory sign-in goes through Keycloak instead.
HumHub licenses the Professional Edition for your own servers, with support and long-term support of the two latest major releases. CUZY only hosts on its own servers and does not install HumHub on yours.
HumHub sells one-time onboarding packages for Professional Edition customers: Starter (€1,575: kickoff, technical workshop, design from your corporate identity) and Professional (€2,575: more workshops, configuration such as user import or LDAP, a design package). CUZY answers by ticket and helps with migration, but sells no workshop package.
HumHub's Enterprise Edition adds a dedicated hosting cluster, a customer success manager, a tailored contract and security review, multi-network deployments and a 99.5% uptime SLA with response times in hours. For networks above 1,000 users HumHub works on a custom quote with volume pricing.
