On-premise Segment Holds the Largest Market Share

With the on-premise segment providing a significant control and security over a cloud, this deployment model has seen rapid adoption over the last few years.

Sourcing licenses for on-premise are comparatively simpler. Connectivity and customization advantages also support the on-premise model.
