Hosted vs. On-Prem Connectors

Connectors & Integrations
3 min

Speaker: Logan Saso Staff Software Engineer

Learn the differences between hosted and on-prem connectors in ConductorOne and when to use each for secure, reliable identity syncs.

Main Takeaways

  • ✅

    Hosted connectors run fully in ConductorOne’s cloud and require no customer infrastructure, making them the simplest way to sync identities and entitlements.

  • ✅

    On-prem connectors are deployed inside your network to reach systems that aren’t publicly accessible or require internal connectivity.

  • ✅

    Both connector types perform secure, continuous syncs, but on-prem deployments give you full control over network boundaries and data flow.

  • ✅

    Choosing the right connector type ensures reliable access data, complete visibility, and smooth onboarding into C1.
