How does OMN handle error monitoring?

As of OMN 7.0, OMN uses Sentry, an error monitoring tool, to automatically detect technical issues.
It helps the apollon team identify and fix problems quickly — often before users notice them.
Sentry collects technical diagnostic data only, such as error messages, browser type, and performance timings.
No personal data, documents, or file contents are collected.
Common personally identifiable information (PII) is automatically removed from all error reports.

For data protection concerns, the data processing agreement (DPA) with apollon should be referenced.

Is it possible to display a spell checker for texts?

What is the difference between "Perpetual Licensing" vs. "SaaS (Software as a Service)" Subscription?

Perpetual Licensing (Permanent license):

  • What is it?
    Before the development of the SaaS model, buying a license was the standard method of purchasing software. Customers purchase a license for a solution that gives them the right to use the software indefinitely.

  • Complexity:
    Although this may seem simple at first glance, it is often more complicated in practice. Why is that? Let’s take a look at it.

    • Advantages of the permanent license:

      • Unlimited use:
        Customers can use the software permanently, without monthly fees.

      • Technical support:
        Access to the software provider’s technical support.

      • Control:
        Customers have control over their software version.

    • Disadvantages of the permanent license:

      • Costs for updates:
        To use the latest functions, customers have to buy updates.

      • Installation and maintenance costs:
        Customers must install and maintain the software.

SaaS (Software as a Service):

  • What is it?
    SaaS allows users to use a solution as long as they pay the recurring subscription fee (usually monthly or annually).

  • Advantages of SaaS:

    • Automatic updates:
      Contains bug fixes and software updates.

    • Lower costs:
      As SaaS solutions are hosted in the cloud, installation and maintenance costs are eliminated.

    • 24/7 access:
      Customers can access the software, even in the event of Internet problems.

Conclusion:

  • Permanent license: More control, but higher costs and complexity

  • SaaS: Convenient, cost-effective and always up-to-date
