| **Hosting Environment** | Snapsec Managed Cloud (AWS/GCP) | Customer VPC, Bare Metal, or Hypervisor | Disconnected On-Prem / Secure Enclave |
| **Setup Time** | Under 10 minutes | Under 1 hour | 2–4 hours |
| **Data Residency** | Configurable region (US, EU, APAC) | 100% inside customer perimeter | 100% isolated, zero external egress |

| **Maintenance & Updates** | Automated by Snapsec | Guided CLI / Container updates | Offline bundle update packages |
| **External Integrations** | Native SaaS (Jira Cloud, Slack, etc.) | Direct network or egress proxy | Offline / internal webhooks only |
| **Vulnerability Feeds** | Real-time continuous sync | Direct internet sync or proxy | Offline feed package import utility |
