This article is for Flatfile's Portal 2.0 and Portal 3.0. If you'd like to check out the latest version of the Flatfile Data Exchange Platform, click here!

The main difference between Flatfile Portal 2.0 and Flatfile Portal 3.0 is that Portal 3.0 runs server-side while Portal 2.0 runs in the browser, client-side. All major differences between Portal 2.0 and 3.0 begin with the server-side implementation of Portal 3.0.

Running on servers allows Portal 3.0 to implement some advanced features, such as interruption protection that allows users to close and resume matching sessions. Portal 3.0 is also not limited by your local hardware, allowing faster data processing and painless data onboarding. And because of its server-side implementation, Portal 3.0 is also capable of securely saving your history of matching decisions, something not possible with Portal 2.0’s browser-based application, and improve its matching suggestions using your historical decisions.
