An on-prem Smartsheet alternative - work management inside your perimeter

Smartsheet is a vendor-operated cloud service. If your requirement is work management that runs on-premise or in your own tenancy - without losing AI agents - here's how Homany is built to deliver it.

This page is for you if

  • On-premise or your-own-tenancy deployment is a hard requirement, not a nice-to-have.
  • You can't accept a vendor-controlled cloud for this data.
  • You still want AI agents - and won't trade them away to go on-prem.
  • You need to keep encryption keys and the model endpoint under your control.

Where Homany differs by design

  • On-prem as a first-class posture

    The full product runs inside your perimeter - not a cut-down container edition. Managed cloud and your-own-tenancy are options too, so you can move between postures.

  • Agents that stay inside your boundary

    Agents run against your workspace in your deployment and use your own model-provider keys, so AI execution doesn't require sending work out.

  • Your keys, your endpoint

    Hold your own encryption keys and route AI to a model endpoint in your region - sovereignty that survives an audit.

Where Homany differs structurally

Why on-prem only delivers if it's native

An on-prem deployment that's a bolted-on container often ships a reduced product or drops AI. Evaluate whether the full capability - including agents - actually runs inside your perimeter.

On-prem evaluation guide

Don't trade away agents to go on-prem

The common assumption is that on-prem means giving up AI. With your own model keys and in-boundary execution, you can keep agent-first workflows while staying inside your perimeter.

Agent-ready operations playbook

Jurisdiction, not just region

For the strictest requirements, on-prem removes the vendor-reachability question entirely - data never leaves your boundary, so foreign disclosure law doesn't reach it through the provider.
