aside from that, even the idea to manage something private like workstations using the cloud is not a good idea
What? Why? What would be better?

Why would hosted management be anything but awesome? Running your own management platforms is generally just a waste of resources and limits you. Basically to be useful you have to build your own centrally hosted system just like the hosted service but then you do it not as well, with fewer resources, at higher cost and lower security.
What would be the reason to even consider non-cloud here? Other than if your Internet access is so bad that you are not really online at all.

the natural is using a LAN application not a web application
i mean doing the whole management locally without going outside the web -

you feel safe when you are doing something locally without going outside your coreprate network

is this feeling is wrong???
because whenever i'm doing something on the cloud i start have concern on security -

because whenever i'm doing something on the cloud i start have concern on securityI most certainly do not. The only reason to feel safe locally is because you are practicing security through obscurity, and that is not security.
Well known reputable providers have security teams dedicated to ensuring their services are secure.

Exactly. Feeling safe is a bad emotion. Statistically you are less safe. Work from stats, logic and facts when possible, avoid emotions as a guiding means for determining security. If you understand all of the factors involved, you would not feel safe(er) doing this. Not that it is reckless, but being local doesn't make you safe or even safer. The more you take on yourself, the less safe you are likely to be.
This is related to the "airplane illusion." People are scared to fly even though it is safer than driving. It is a loss of control that they fear, not a loss of safety.

A lot safer in most cases. You should have the opposite feeling. Anything you run something yourself you should say "but how can I possibly secure this as well as a company with tons of experts focused on nothing but this?"

^^^ This. Not only do they have teams of people that do this, and they have people with a lot more experience than you are likely to have, and lots of them... but they also have more money and resources, take security much more seriously, don't deal with SMB politics crippling their security efforts, have tons of reputation on the line and the big one... they know their product far better than anyone else and simply have more capability to protect it.
