SaaS vs On-premises Analytics Configuration
When you deploy Analytics with the Analytics Agent, the configuration requirements differ based on your deployment:
SaaS
The Events Service is provided as part of the SaaS service. AppDynamics stores the data and hosts the server components of the system for you. You install only the Analytics Agent components of the system. This is described in the section Agent Side Components.
On-premises
For on-premises, you host the components yourself, storing all data on-premises. This means you need to install the Agent Side Components and the Controller and Events Service components described in Controller Deployment and Events Service Deployment. The on-premises deployment involves additional setup and administration, but it enables you to retain the analytics data within your own data center.
