DocSpace cloud VS on-premises
When you are choosing between using the software in the cloud as a service and hosting it on your own infrastructure, there are a few important keypoints to consider. Here are the key differences between self-hosted and cloud ONLYOFFICE DocSpace:
Full control over your data. Self-hosted software is potentially more secure, since the developers and the cloud providers by do not have access to your space by design. You do not need to entrust your data to any third-party and, instead, rely fully on your own infrastructure security and maintenance, or choose a location for hosting according to your right judgment. At the same time, security of hosting becomes your own responsibility.
Lifetime license. When you purchase a license of the business solution, you make a single payment and get the software to use without any end dates. License renewal is only needed if you wish to continue receiving updates and professional support after one year.
Pricing based on simultaneous connections. For the self-hosted version, the business tariffs are based on simultaneously opened document tabs within your network. For example, if the tariff allows for up to 100 connections, the 101st document will be opened for view only.
SMTP settings. The settings at your disposal in on-premises ONLYOFFICE DocSpace are almost the same as in the SaaS solution, but here you can also control the SMTP settings for connecting the mail service manually.
Branding and customization available for all editions. Unlike the cloud version where you can add branding and fully use customization only in the business tariffs, all self-hosted versions offer these options, including the Community version.
