We are investigating the advantages and disadvantages of moving from on-prem to Flexera One. We have read the discussion at https://community.flexera.com/t5/FlexNet-Manager-Forum/Migrate-from-FNMS-OnPremise-to-FNMS-Cloud/td-p/111008 but we have additional questions.
1. Do we have direct access to query the Cloud DBs? We have integrations to other systems that currently pull data directly from our on-prem FNMSCompliance and FNMSInventory DBs. We also write custom queries, joining to tables we've staged in a staging DB, to pull data for clients as needed.
2. We have several staging databases, for XenApp and business adapters. Do those DBs stay on-prem?
3. Are we correct to assume that all beacons stay "as is" and are just re-configured to report into the Batch/Inventory server in the Cloud?
4. We have many agent versions installed across the enterprise to cover older operating systems and/or to resolve agent scanning issues. Are we required to upgrade all agents to a cloud edition, like 18.6.0?
Thanks for any insight that will help us evaluate this potential migration.
