- 1. Security Cybercriminals can take advantage of multiple access points to exploit systems vulnerabilities. Backup and restoration Most multi-tenant platforms do not offer robust restoration options. Limited management They do not provide many customization options, which reduces the consumer's ability to interact with the system. Scalability There is no difference between onboarding ten users from a thousand companies or a thousand users from one company.

Flexibility It can allocate a pool of resources to the users who need it, as their demands scale up and down. Efficiency It offers the ability to architect an environment exactly the way a tenant needs it. What is a Single Tenant? Single-tenant is an architecture in which one entity is supported by a single instance of a software application and supporting infrastructure.

What is a Multi-Tenant? Backup The tenant can manage updates by downloading and upgrading local applications. Migration When a tenant wants to migrate from a single-tenant (SaaS) system into a self-hosted or local environment, they can quickly move an application to their own managed servers. Flexibility It offers greater control over implementation and framework. Cost It does not allow cost-sharing for facilities such as deployment and monitoring. Maintenance It needs continuous modifications and improvements. Setup It is not always as convenient to install a single-tenant framework. Limitations of a Single-Tenant Architecture Limitations of a Multi-Tenant Architecture Single tenancy offers high user engagement with environmental customizations, more security, and a better propensity for backup.
