“Strongest starting point for self-hosting”
“- Open-source design platform.”
“- Supports on-premises, private cloud, and air-gapped deployment.”
“- Offers SAML SSO and role-based access control.”
“- Supports design systems, prototyping, and developer handoff.”
“Trade-off: Your organization takes responsibility for infrastructure, backups, and deployment security.”
“- Mature collaborative design ecosystem.”
“- Extensive plugins and integrations.”
“- Enterprise security and governance capabilities.”
“Trade-off: Cloud-based rather than self-hosted. Enterprise data residency should not be confused with complete control over all data categories.”
“- Strong professional creative tools, including Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign.”
“- Enterprise administration and regional storage options.”
“- Useful for complex publishing, branding, and multimedia workflows.”
“Trade-off: Enterprise cloud hosting is not the same as self-hosting. Confirm storage and processing locations for each service.”
