VertiGIS Studio Reporting is designed to run in the cloud or on premises:
•In the Cloud: In the cloud version of VertiGIS Studio Reporting, reports are created, saved, and generated in the cloud. The ArcGIS items associated with reports are in ArcGIS Online.
•On Premises: In the on-premises version of VertiGIS Studio Reporting, you use your on-premises deployment of Report Designer to design reports. Reports are saved to your ArcGIS account (Portal for ArcGIS or ArcGIS Online, depending on how you configure your deployment).
On-premises Reporting offers additional capabilities that are not available in cloud Reporting. To choose between cloud Reporting and on-premises Reporting, consider the whether you need any of the following capabilities:
•Local Resources: On-premises Reporting can access resources that are only accessible from your organization's intranet. The VertiGIS Studio Reporting cloud servers cannot access your local resources—they cannot resolve your server's host name to connect to the server.
On-premises Reporting is required to do any of the following:
•Use data from a database that is only accessible from your intranet
•Use data from a map service or feature service that is only accessible from your intranet
•Use data from a Windows Integrated-secured map service or feature service
•Include feature maps based on a web map that contains one or more Windows Integrated-secured services
•Use images that are only accessible from your intranet
•Portal for ArcGIS: On-premises Reporting works with Portal for ArcGIS or ArcGIS Online, whereas cloud Reporting works with ArcGIS Online only.
•In on-premises Reporting, reports are created, saved, and generated on premises. The items associated with reports can either be in Portal for ArcGIS or in ArcGIS Online.
The following table summarizes where the Reporting tasks occur under the different deployment scenarios.
