Cloud-Based Monitoring vs. On-Premise Monitoring 

Cloud-based monitoring applications contain many of the same features as on-premise monitoring software, but how do they differ? On-premise monitoring software is installed directly on-site, without remote monitoring capabilities. When you work with on-premise monitoring, it leads to increased security – a benefit frequently sought in critical operations. But on the downside, it does offer less accessibility.
