Cesium ion compared to custom solutions
Even if you expect to tile on-premises, we recommend starting with Cesium ion to learn about the tilers.
| Using Cesium ion (SaaS) | Hosting and administering a custom solution |
|---|---|
| One monthly subscription includes tiling, hosting, and global 3D content | Separate annual subscriptions for tiling pipeline and global 3D content |
| Cesium ion hosts and serves your 3D data | You host and serve your data (choose your own server or use the one included with 3D Tiling Pipeline) |
| Cesium support team available to help with problems | Your team handles day-to-day troubleshooting |
| Friendly web UI for 3D data tiling and management | You use the tiling pipeline command line interface (CLI) or create a UI for the pipeline |
| Cesium ion integrations make it easy to configure end-to-end workflows | You integrate the pipeline into your environment |
| You control access to your tiled data with access tokens | Your tiled data stored in your data center and you implement access control |
| Cesium provides and manages the infrastructure | You acquire and manage the infrastructure |
| Cesium handles set up and upgrades | You manage installation and updates |
Whether you use Cesium ion or host your own solution, you can use your preferred visualization engine, including CesiumJS, Cesium ion SDK, and Cesium for Unreal.
