SharePoint 2016 is an on-premise installation that gives users full control over servers, data, services and networks but requires maintaining those systems, while SharePoint Online is a cloud-based system hosted by Microsoft that requires no maintenance of infrastructure but provides less customization options and access to some features. A hybrid deployment can integrate SharePoint 2016 and Online to keep sensitive content on-premise while using cloud features, connecting through tools like the hybrid app launcher and search. Both require information architecture, administration and business process automation to be defined.
