Benefit of installing on own servers over working online

Hi

I am wondering what the benefit is of installing Kobo on our servers rather than working online. I assume it is for data protection and we can work on a larger number of surveys at one time?

Hi Karen,

There’s no need to install it on your server, it’s just an option for organizations who need have full control or want to do customizations of the open source code.

Best,

Tino

Hi,

I am new user of KoBoToolbox and have same question in mind if there is any reason for which I should consider having it on my organization’s server instead of the online platform of KoBoToolbox. I tried the provided link (http://support.kobotoolbox.org/customer/en/portal/articles/1691108-install-kobotoolbox-on-your-own-servers) for more details, but it didn’t work. Thanks.

Welcome to the community @mabdulkareem! Maybe this support article Installing KoBoToolbox on a Local Computer would be able to answer your queries.

Much appreciated. That was useful. Thanks.
