OnPrem or Cloud

Hi,

Our Company are planning to choose Dyn365 Operations for ERP system.

We have AX4.5 today on prem and we have a complex application integration map.

We had before decided that we should go with onprem solution since we a lot with integrations, need for controll on performance etc...

Microsoft are very pro Cloud solution and we do not get any good answers on the roadmap for Dyn365 onprem, they do not have our whole picture and are so understanding why we want to run onprem.

Microsoft are telling us that they not will prioritize Onprem envirorment before Cloud, but what are the roadmap for onprem? 

The onprem and Cloud are the same application? 
From what I understand, The Cloud Solusion are running on a private Azure Virtual mashine in there Tennant, there are only Microsoft that copy the codebase from UAT in our envirorment.
How could Microsoft call this Cloud?? Not shared resorces, not able to increase performace on the fly, and you need your own test envirorment in your Azure??

Would like to discuss pros and cons on Cloud vs Onprem from an Dyn365 perspective.

Thanks in advance

    On-prem and Cloud roadmap is the same https://roadmap.dynamics.com there you can find details regarding new features and on-prem specific as well.

    Even if you have a VM running in the cloud, it could use service fabric under the hood to scale up and down. Ultimate goal is to move from VM's to SaaS solution and it could be done seamlessly because no one has access to backend, so today it could be VMs and Web apps tomorrow.

    On-prem and Cloud versions have same x++ code and same functionality, there are differences in deployment and integration . You cannot install latest PU or use DIXF but it's coming due to roadmap.

    Don't forget there is third option Hybrid, that is coming soon.

    Personally I think you want to go on-prem only because of 2 reasons: legal requirements and existing hardware. Otherwise it's simply cheaper to go cloud if you don't have hardware and licenses to cover all instances required, also you don't need admin person to support it.

    If integration is critical to you it's better to go cloud as well, on-prem version missing some integration capabilities, they are on the roadmap but it does not mean that they are coming tomorrow, so it could delay your project.
