Pros for Workstation Setup:-

Cons for Workstation Setup:-
The big Disadvantage of workstation setups is- If anything happens to the program files on the server, it will affects Each and Every User who uses Sage.
The Client/Server is faster, as all the program files are on the local machine, rather than being fetched over the network. A single person is accessing program files from their local SSD drive will always be faster than many people accessing the same program files on a server.
Pros for Client/Server:-
- Client/Server Installation allows to load files faster than other server.
- Required Less network traffic
Cons for Client/Server:-
Client/Server installation is a lengthy process it requires Sage ID, Company Name, modules installed, etc., at the ready because you will be prompted for each install you do.
