Hosted vs. Installed Software

Understanding the differences between Hosted and Installed Software is important in deciding which is best for you. Read below for a comparison of the two applications and what they offer.

PRICE

• Hosted applications charge a continuous fee for the duration of the service.
• Installed software has a one-time purchase fee.

SECURITY

• Hosted applications provide their own security and data backup (often a higher level than you could implement yourself).
• Installed software does not come with built-in security or data backup, therefore, you are responsible for implementing and managing your own system(s).

ACCESS

• Hosted applications offer remote access. This means as long as you have an internet connection you will be able to access the software.
• Installed software is not typically remote. However, a dedicated IT professional could set up and maintain remote access.

UPDATES

• Hosted applications bundle updates, tech support and trouble-shooting into their monthly fee structure.
• Installed software does not include updates, tech support or trouble-shooting. Any after-sale support would be an extra cost.

CUSTOMIZATION

• Hosted applications will offer a certain amount of customizations, but they are limited by the system.
• Installed software does not offer limitless customization either, but you could hire a developer to update the software to your needs.
