Cloud Service Bitrix24

If you need any specific settings for your needs, branding of the portal and its products, integration with other software, then you can always make the transition from the Bitrix24 cloud service to a boxed solution.
Bitrix24 (Boxed Version)
There are cases when it is necessary to use a boxed Bitrix24 solution and not a cloud one, For example, when the laws of the country require data storage in certain places when you need access to the source code of the product for some integrations, when you need those Bitrix24 tools that are not available in the cloud version, or when company policy prohibits access to the portal from the outside. The boxed version of Bitrix24 contains more tools and modules than the cloud service.
Unlike cloud service, the boxed version of Bitrix24 is a completely customizable system (you can change the logo, color scheme, layout, menu structure, pages, their content, add and remove widgets, change the menu, and CRM fields, etc.).

The maximum edition of the boxed version offers special modules such as Web cluster (which helps to distribute the load on the server and provides tools for scaling the system) and Multi-department (which allows you to create departments within the portal, usually required by companies that have a number of subsidiaries or branches with their own structure and work inside the branch).
Depending on the activities of your company, the number of employees, and the requirements for work, you can choose either the Bitrix24 cloud service with flexible tariff plans or a completely customizable box solution for your needs.
