As previously mentioned, cloud MFT isn’t a mature marketplace. The cloud native solutions seem to be lacking in their features set – notably automation capabilities. Yet the strong vendors of on site MFT solutions are not so well developed in terms of infrastructure.

Hidden costs, such as leaving costs out of estimates, having lower upfront costs but higher support costs over time
Inflexible pricing models
Consider the time and cost of reskilling if you are not opting for a fully managed service
