Choosing between SharePoint On-Premises vs O365 (SharePoint Online)
SharePoint is one of the software used in large number in various organizations to connect and collaborate organizational data in between their employees behind firewall.Its one of the top selling software in Microsoft product gallery. Organizations are believing in it because its not only having features like CMS,collaboration or document management but its more than that. In one sentence i can say that now its becoming face of organizations.
Microsoft has introduced online version of SharePoint called as O365 (SharePoint Online). When I attend the prospect meetings it has been always asked by client for which version to go for.. Its very hard to answer them in first meeting without understanding their requirement because the answer is depend on their exact need, type of data transaction, usage and many other key requirements.
There are some pros and cons in choosing the O365 vs SharePoint on premises. you will get lot of detailed material on internet but its important to satisfy your customer with minimum explanation with maximum information. I tried my level best to describe it in below five bull-ted points which could easily help to answer in quick time and satisfy your customers.
1.Cost- This factor is always considers though you talk to any SMB or big entrepreneur. Organizations works on CAPEX and OPEX modal and its always a pain point for them that if OPEX cost is more and keep increasing then that become something over head for them.So while purchasing its always thought what would be the initial investment and then how much is required for its support and maintenance annually.
Here O365 do not involved in CAPEX cost as it purely based on subscription licensed modal. Microsoft provide the SharePoint services on cloud along with outlook,office. So here only customer will have to pay for yearly subscription.
SharePoint on premises needs supporting hardware,SharePoint admin skilled people to maintain it and there is also CAL license concept for it.Over all CAPEX cost is huge along with OPEX cost in SharePoint On prem.
So the organizations which has capability to invest and required it for some future plans for more services from it then they can go SharePoint on premises version. Those who are not required other SharePoint services and satisfied with available feature of O365 then O365 is better for them.
2. Customization Flexibility- SharePoint on premises is very flexible and support any kind of customization. O365 also support some level of customization but have some limitations for customization.
3. Data Storage- Its always been expected by organizations that any application will hold the data and then there will be slice and dice of it to prepare some meaningful information from it and that will help in organization growth.
O365 has some limitations for data storage.SharePoint on premise server can be scaled at any level and due to this there is no more limitations for data storage.
4.Custom Development- When organizations purchase any software they always look into it to customize it as per their company need. This is also one of the decision making point as O365 has limitations for custom development while SharePoint on premise can support all kind of custom development
5. Business Continuity- This is one of the important factor while making the decision.Those do not have any future plans for SharePoint and want to use it for particular time period then O365 is only the right choice for them. But those who have some big plans for data and information then they must go for SharePoint on prem..
Hope this will help SharePoint experts to talk with their prospects in better way for comparison point.

Main SharePoint Performance Issues
I always get lot of queries from client talking about SharePoint performance. I observed that people do proper planing for topology and install appropriate servers but still they start facing poor performance of SharePoint sites. This is mainly I could say due to poor care taking of servers. People think that once they install SharePoint with high configuration server topology then everything will be smooth and fine.. but that's not the case. SharePoint admin must need to check for database data size, server updates,antivirus update scanning etc. on servers frequently.
Following are some the identifiers that needs to be taken care for good performance on any SharePoint farm.
1.Database Sizing- Set the size of your content database to something that represents the size of the data you’re going to upload.
2.Connection between WFE and SQL Server- Use a dedicated high-speed network between WFE and SQL servers.
3.Antivirus Software- The antivirus software that is running on these server which is scanning for each uploaded file and one more scanning while moving it to SharePoint then it will be tremendous usage of memory
4. Enable File stream for document Storage- All the files which are uploaded to SharePoint can be stored on file stream instead of directly in database tables
5. Cashe Enabling- Compression not enabled. Caching not enabled or not configured. Large pages. Redundant SQL trips, underlying network issues could be the issue for slow page loading.
6. Large Lists- Large lists >2,000–3,000 items in a level. No indexing on lists. Underlying SQL Server issues. Too many columns is issue for SharePoint lists

Access app. This app is new in SharePoint Server 2013 and it can build using
Access 2013 desktop client. The data available can be edited, viewed and
new items can created using this app.
Access Service 2010
The access database which is created
previously in SharePoint 2010 can be modified or published using access service
2010 in SharePoint 2013.
It’s important to provide name of the existing
access database while creating this service in SharePoint 2013. Start access
database service 2010 from CA manage services on server
App Management Service
The App Management Service is new
service in SharePoint 2013. Its stores and provides information related to the SP
App licenses and permissions. All apps downloaded from SP app market place
licenses are stored in this service.
The App Management Service is accessed
each time app is requested or used in SharePoint to verify validity of the
request
Business Data Connectivity
Service
Business data connectivity service was available
in SharePoint 2010 and it’s continued in SharePoint 2013. This service is used
to communicate with external databases to bring external data in to SharePoint.
Excel Services Application
Excel Services in SharePoint Server 2013
is a shared service that you can use to publish Excel 2013 workbooks on
SharePoint Server. The published workbooks can be managed and secured according
to your organizational needs and shared among SharePoint Server 2013 users, who
can render the workbooks in a browser. Excel Services was introduced in Office
SharePoint Server 2007 and is available only in the Enterprise edition of
SharePoint Server 2013.
Machine Translation Service
The new Machine
Translation Service enables you to reach more people with new cloud-based
translation services capable of translating not only sites, but also their
content. These services have a comprehensive set of APIs, REST, and CSOM
support, so content can be pre-translated when needed, or translated on the fly
by users—asynchronously, synchronously, or streaming
PerformancePoint Service
PerformancePoint
Services is a SharePoint Server 2013 service application. It enables users to
create business intelligence (BI) dashboards that provide insight into an
organization's performance. You can create custom reports, filters, tabular
data sources, and scorecard transforms to extend the native functionality of
PerformancePoint Services.
PowerPoint Automation Service
PowerPoint Automation
Services is a new service application in SharePoint Server 2013 that provides
automatic server-side conversion of PowerPoint Presentations from one format to
another, for example, a PowerPoint Presentation in Open XML File Formar .pptx
format can be converted into Portable Document Format (.pdf) for archival
purposes, distribution to clients who do not have Microsoft PowerPoint
installed, or to protect the presentation from editing.
Managed Metadata Service
The managed metadata
service application makes it possible to use--what else--managed metadata. The
managed metadata service identifies which database to use as your term store.
When you create new terms or users add keywords, those are stored in that
database.
Search Service
SharePoint Server
Search is a service application which we have come to learn about over the past
few articles that it is independent of other services and is no longer tied to
the Shared Services Provider (SSP) that was introduced in SharePoint 2007.
SharePoint 2010 search
architecture is made up of the Crawler, Indexing Engine, Query Engine and the
User Interface and Query Object Model. We now have greater flexibility
and expandability with our search design in 2010 and can setup not only multiple
Query Servers but can now scale out our Index server and add multiple
instances.
This service crawls
content for the search index. This service is automatically started on all
servers that run search topology components. The service cannot be stopped or
started from the Services on Server page. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg502597.aspx
Secure Store Service
The Secure Store Service is an
authorization service that runs on an application server. The Secure Store
Service provides a database that is used to store credentials. These
credentials usually consist of a user identity and password, but can also
contain other fields that you define. For example, SharePoint Server 2013 can
use the Secure Store database to store and retrieve credentials for access to
external data sources. The Secure Store Service provides support for storing
multiple sets of credentials for multiple back-end systems.
State Service
The State Service Application is often
overlooked by SharePoint administrators. It is a common source of errors in the
server application logs when missing from the farm. As the name implies, this
service application maintains state for
user sessions and many out of the box features.
If you want to know the health and
status of your SharePoint farm, you need to get this service application up and
running. Unlike the Web Analytics Service Application from SharePoint 2010
User and Health Data Collection
Service
Usage and Health Data Collection Service
Application collects Data about Usage and Health of your farm. This information
is used for Health Monitoring and this is also required for running the Web
Analytics Service. If you do not have a Usage and Health Data Collection
Service Application or your Usage and Health Data Collection Proxy is stopped,
you will not see any data in the Web Analytics Report.
User Profile Service
The user profile service provides out
SharePoint farm with all the social networking features plus more. This stores
information about users in a central location. In order to provision My Sites, enable social computing features
such as social tagging and newsfeeds, and create and distribute profiles across
multiple sites and farms, you must enable the User Profile service application.
Visio Graphics Service
The Visio Graphics
Service is a SharePoint Server 2013 service
application that allows users to share and view Visio diagrams by using Visio
Services. The service application also enables data-connected Visio 2013
diagrams to be refreshed and updated from different data sources.
Word Automation Services
Word Automation Services is a SharePoint
Service Application that is used for server-side conversion of documents that
are supported by Microsoft Word. A few new features like on demand file
conversion and support for converting streams are introduced in Word Automation
Service in SharePoint 2013
Work Management Service
One of the brilliant features in
SharePoint 2013 personal site is providing the user with a single view of all
the tasks assigned to him in all the SharePoint sites (projects, teams…etc.).
The Work Management service application is responsible for collecting this
information and not only from SharePoint sites, the Work Management service
application can aggregate the tasks from Microsoft Exchange, Microsoft Project
server and a custom provider model can be integrated.
Microsoft SharePoint Foundation
Subscription Settings Service
This service was primarily used for
multi-tenency support in SharePoint 2010. In SharePoint 2013, it is also
necessary for apps. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/fp161236.aspx#ConfigureAppServices
Request Management
Request Manager is functionality in
SharePoint Server 2013 that enables administrators to manage incoming requests
and determine how SharePoint Server 2013 routes these requests. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj712708.aspx
Search Host Controller Service

is automatically started on all servers that run search topology components. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg502597.aspx
Search Query and Site Settings
Service

It also detects farm-level changes to the search service and puts these in the
Search Admin database. The service is automatically started on all servers that
run the query processing component. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/gg502597.aspx
Microsoft SharePoint Foundation
Web Application
This is the core service for running your sites. It configures
IIS to host the sites providing the SharePoint to end users.
Microsoft SharePoint Foundation
Workflow Timer Service
This service supplements the main Timer service with
configuration settings for timed workflow events.
Lotus Notes Connector
Lotus Notes Connector provides
connectivity for search to crawl Lotus Notes content within a Domino
database. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj591606.aspx
Claims
to Windows Token Service
The Claims to Windows Token Service (c2WTS) is a feature of
Windows Identity Foundation (WIF). The c2WTS extracts user principal name (UPN)
claims from non-Windows security tokens, such as SAML and X.509 tokens, and
generates impersonation-level Windows security tokens. This allows a relying
party application to impersonate the user. This might be needed to access
back-end resources, such as Microsoft SQL Servers, that are external to the
computer running the relying party application. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee539091.aspx
Distributed Cache
The Distributed Cache service provides caching features in
SharePoint Server 2013. The microblog features and feeds rely on the
Distributed Cache to store data for very fast retrieval across all entities.
The Distributed Cache service is built on Windows Server AppFabric, which
implements the AppFabric Caching service. Windows Server AppFabric installs
with the prerequisites for SharePoint Server 2013. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219700.aspx#cache http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219613.aspx

Microsoft advised to use certain third-party services
that integrate directly with Office 365 for this function and not yet disclosed
which third-party services it will recommend, but instead is saying details
will be coming on this in January 2015.The KB note is promising that the
coming, supplemental third-party public-website offerings will do more than
just provide users with "a basic online presence;" they will include
"more robust tools and solutions”.
