For companies in regulated industries such as healthcare, financial services, or public administration, this represents a serious compliance risk.

SecureCloud is and remains a 100% German company with its registered office and data centers in Germany. No US parent company, no CLOUD Act, no compromises on digital sovereignty.

DRACOON requires a minimum of 50 licenses on the Basic and Pro plans, and as many as 100 on the Premium plan. For small and medium-sized businesses with 5, 10, or 30 employees, that is simply oversized.

On top of that, pricing is not publicly available. You have to request a quote before you even find out what you will pay. With SecureCloud, you can get started from just 2 users.

Our pricing is published transparently on our website: €5 per user/month on the Business plan, €8 on the Advanced plan. No hidden costs.

DRACOON focuses on secure file sharing and document management. But for day-to-day collaboration, critical tools are missing: there is no integrated office suite for editing documents, and no built-in electronic signature capability (available only on the most expensive plan from 100 licenses).

That means your teams need additional software, additional costs, and additional security gaps.

SecureCloud combines secure storage, a full office suite (SecureWork), and legally compliant electronic signatures (SecureSign) in a single platform  everything encrypted, everything from one source.

Kiteworks has acquired not only DRACOON but also ownCloud and Maytech. Three similar products under one roof — consolidation is foreseeable. For ownCloud, migration of customers to the Kiteworks platform has already been announced.

DRACOON customers need to ask themselves: how much longer will the product exist in its current form? Switching proactively gives you control over the timing and the terms — rather than being dependent on a decision driven by a US corporation.
