Deployment Mechanism (On-premise/Cloud) | Can be deployed on-premise or as Software-as-a-Service model. SaaS services are provided by Triniti | Both flavors are available–On-premise as well as the cloud. However, the SaaS model is still maturing as there are a lot of limitations in terms of customization |
