What are the differences between local onprem desktop vs online cloud scheduling?

NOTE: DESKTOP VERSION IS NOW DISCONTINUED

Both our desktop scheduling software and online scheduling service have many common features but there are some differences.

The online service is run on our servers on the Internet and accessed via a browser on any device, or our mobile apps from the various app stores. We backup, manage and look after your database.

The desktop software is installed on your Windows PC, or in a Windows VM on a Mac or Linux computer. You manage your local database and any SQL servers needed.

    With the online (cloud based) version, how long is the information available?
    10 years from now, could we search events from history?
    What is the limits to this storage?
    Can the data be backed up on our local server?

    Yes you can search back 10, 20 or 50 years if you still have your account. We don't put any limits on the event storage. You can export data to a CSV for remote access/backup but we also offer full backup services.
