Is on-premises right for you?
Most teams don't need to think hard about this one or two of these usually settles it.
-
Select what applies · nothing is sent anywhere
Your data legally or contractually can't leave your network
Banking, healthcare, government, and defense contractors are the most common cases.
You need to run fully offline
Classified networks, air-gapped facilities, or field/industrial sites with no reliable internet.
You already have the IT infrastructure and staff to host it
If you're running other internal systems on your own servers, adding Bold BI is a small lift, not a new discipline.
You've been burned by a "downgraded" on-prem edition before
Some vendors hold back AI features or the newest UI for their cloud product only; Bold BI On-Premises doesn't.
If any of these are true, On-Premises is built for exactly this — not a compromise version of Bold BI Cloud.

Analytics that Wins Awards and Users.
Recognized by G2, TrustRadius and Visual Studio Magazine for delivering standout performance and value.
I appreciate Bold BI for making it easier to provide reporting for our customers, allowing both our analysts and customers to easily build and publish reports. The ability to build dashboards and modify queries for specific outcomes is very user-friendly. I value the mobile readiness of the app and its integration capabilities with API structures. The addition of AI features is impressive. The economic pricing model and the effective partnership, which includes consistent and helpful support, make it an invaluable tool for our OEM model.
