Cloud

MDM solutions come in many variations, and a central question of today is whether to host it on-premises or in the cloud (or a mix, called a hybrid). Cloud MDM is slowly on the rise, and many vendors offer the possibility to host in the cloud, but still the majority of companies choose an on-premise solution due to security concerns. With a hosted cloud solution, typically run on Amazon's Web Services, Microsoft's Azure or Google Cloud, organizations don’t have to install, configure, maintain and host the hardware and software. It is outsourced to a third party and typically offered as a subscription service.
