Hosted desktop vs Office 365
We support working online with our own Hosted Desktop and with Office 365 for Business. Both services provide online access to Office applications including Outlook and Word and both offer data storage in the cloud. To assist you in choosing the best solution for your organization, please note that there are a number of differences listed below. Read more about our Office 365 Management.
Opportunities
Hosted Desktop provides you with a remote desktop and access to more than 200 business applications including Office applications.
With Office 365, all Office programs and business applications must be installed locally on a PC. TinkConnect’s managed desktop (workplace management) service can provide data storage, if it can’t be stored on Sharepoint or OneDrive in Office 365.
Office 365 business applications must be installed locally and applications can only be used on computers where they’ve been installed. It’s a less flexible solution for working online.
Hosted Desktop enables you to use applications online on both PC and Mac.
