## Introduction
With each new release of our Cloud-hosted plugins, we endeavor to reduce disparities in functionality and customization between them and our Data Center-hosted versions. However, due to technical prerequisites and [limitations](https://confluence.atlassian.com/adminjiracloud/restricted-functions-in-jira-cloud-applications-776636921.html) of Jira Cloud, inevitable variances remain.
Our Data Center-hosted BigPicture remains the gold standard, serving as a reference point for its Cloud-hosted equivalent.
In the tables below, you can find such disparities by comparing and contrasting the features and functionalities of Cloud- to Data Center-hosted BigPicture and BigPicture Enterprise modules.
> ℹ️ Since BigPicture includes all of BigGantt's functionalities, BigGantt was intentionally missed out in the below comparison.

## Modules
In this table, you can check the availability of modules in BigPicture Cloud and BigPicture Data Center versions.
BigPicture cloud is available in two variants ([Standard and Advanced](https://support.appfire.com/space/SPM/3451617346)).

- BigPicture Advanced corresponds to BigPicture Enterprise for data center

Custom fields from third-party Jira apps in BigPicture and BigGantt.
Depending on the plugin's functionality, custom fields based on third-party Jira apps may have limited or different functionality in the Cloud version of the product. For example, Traffic Lights can be displayed only as a text field.
