    Hi, Karthik

    Do you have files that need regularly scheduled updates in Domo?  If so, using Workbench on a desktop is ok if you have that desktop is always running.  Most of the time, in my experience, Workbench is installed on an always-on server.  In our case that's a virtual server.

    If your files don't need regular updates, it doesn't really matter what method you use.
