Vtiger CRM: Open Source vs Cloud

An increasing number of businesses are switching from locally installed CRM solutions to the cloud. By leveraging the benefits that the scale of cloud solutions brings – it saves them money and improves the security and accessibility of their data. This isn’t very different from how people use commercial banks. Commercial banks accept deposits on behalf of every client, and in exchange, provide services ranging from physical and digital security, to convenience of global accessibility through debit cards and ATMs. For any single person to build the same range of services and security for themselves would cost a fortune, however banks are able to charge each client a small amount, and in exchange provide these services to a depositor at little or no cost to each.

Similarly, Vtiger CRM Cloud Editions cost a small per-user fee for access to continuously improving, fast and secure software with 99.9% uptime, 24/5 product support, and a number of other perks – services that would cost a small fortune for any single organization to create.
