This depends a lot on the things that are important to you, but from my experience (noting we’re still on DSpace 5.x):
· The DSpace community is much stronger; I don’t know to what extent Equella is being maintained by its community since Pearson open-sourced it, so there’s some risk there. · Equella does quite a bit more than just store objects – eg it can also let you manage copyright reporting, it can integrate with learning management systems like Moodle, etc and deal with activating/deactivating access on a course-by-course basis · That said, because Equella’s trying to do a lot of things I’ve never felt it does any of them superbly. Fairly competently, sure. Personally, if all I wanted was a place that let an admin or team or admins upload content to be available to certain groups and/or the public, I’d almost certainly go for DSpace. But if you need some of the advanced features around copyright reporting, course management, etc, then Equella may be worth considering.
