Thank Marley.
I thought that the Portal has the same function as ArcGIS Online with one difference, the ArcGIS Online stick sticks the published data in esri cloud while the Portal in one’s environment.
Then what is the ADDED VALUE of having the Portal as we need anyway to install the ArcGIS Server considering that:
1.Installing the Portal requires that machine to have domain
2.It requires installing the web adaptor
3.It requires SSL
For example, in our case, we use Geocortex as web mapping application. Is there really any advantage to work with portal?
