Jira Service desk: cloud vs server

[René Meulman]

Who can explain me what the exact differences are in features between the cloud and the server version?

[Manon Soubies-Camy]

Hello @René Meulman,

In my opinion there are two main differences between JSD Cloud and Server:

• The login-free portal is only available in JSD Cloud.
• Translating your customer portal is available with plain JSD Cloud whereas you'd need an app like Translation for JSD Server.

Hello,

Features are basically the same. 

The difference is between Server and Cloud architecture. Cloud is less customizable than Server, but you do not spend resources on upgrades in Cloud.

I saw this overview, but it is too high-level. I was wondering what the differences are within the possibilities of configuration or maybe other features.

The differences at a lower level are too detailed to try to list in a couple of thousand characters we have here, and often change on Cloud too.  It would be better for you to read @Alexey Matveev 's link and drill down into the specifics that interest you by reading the documentation for them.
