How is Tally different from Tally on Cloud?

For Indian enterprises, Tally has been synonymous with accounting software, providing powerful tools for managing finances, controlling inventory, handling GST compliance, and other related activities. However, Tally has now transformed into a more versatile offering: Tally on Cloud. This is in response to businesses adopting contemporary technologies.

At Cevious, a 5-star recognized Tally partner with over 17 years of industry experience, we help migrate organizations from traditional to cloud-enabled Tally solutions. But what’s the actual difference between Tally and Tally on Cloud? Let us delve deeper.

1. Deployment: Local System vs. Cloud Server

Tally (Desktop-Based):

  • Software is tied to a specific device; installation limits usage to one machine.  
  • All information stays resident on the local machine or LAN server.

 

Tally on Cloud:

  • Housed in secure servers that are housed outside of the organizational physical premises/company firewalls.
  • Can be accessed from any internet enabled device like cellphones.

The winner here is still clear: ZOHO wins this round because flexibility and remote access trump everything else as an added perk. 

2. Accessibility: Limited vs. Anywhere Access

Tally:

  • Remote accessibility only includes the hosting device which requires sophisticated means such as VPNs or remote desktop applications.

Tally on Cloud:  

  • Accessing remotely occurs through tablets and mobile phones in addition to the usual desktops and laptops.
  • Perfect solution for executives away from headquarters while also useful foroue premeditated trips across continents along employees transitioning back home for part-time jobs from college permanently post graduation
