Both the SharePoint products/environments are providing business enterprises with the set of tools and features that they need to improve workplace collaboration and productivity, while making the data sharing and content management easier than ever before. However, every organization is different in terms of their business needs and hence they must take the paybacks and shortcomings that each of the SharePoint solution could bring to them. In this blogpost, we have compared the six most important factors that you should think about before making your big SharePoint decision.
SharePoint Online Vs. SharePoint On-Premises – The Comparison
If you want to make an insightful and informed decision about which SharePoint platform is best-suited to your business enterprises, then here are the six important factors that you need to think about’

2. Updates & Maintenance

Additionally, while choosing between the SharePoint On-Premises and SharePoint Cloud, you must ensure that your compliance officer has a say with the migration decision.
