Software as a service is nothing but software licensing and
delivery model in which a user buys the licensed subscription and in return,
the user will get to access the features of a particular website or a software.
The short form of software as a service is “SAAS”.
How does it work?
In software as a service, you need to sign up for a
particular website with a specific plan. Many websites provide this kind of
plans at various prices. You need to choose the plan and pay on the monthly
basis. This is a really basic and simple definition of software as a service.
Software as a
Services Advantages:
Comparatively Lower
Cost:
Basically, SAAS is a subscription-based programme and it
does not have licensing fees as you are opting for the subscription. As a user,
it will be beneficial that you do not need to buy the whole software. If you
are a student then you might need to use one software for one semester or year,
in this situation choosing SAAS can be beneficial as you will pay for the
software until you use it.
Really Quick set up:
The SaaS software or application is already installed on the
cloud. Once you pay for the software, you can easily access it with very fewer
deployment efforts and traditional software installation.
Really easy to
upgrade:
The Software as service providers deals with the software
upgradation. They update the application centrally and you do not need to
implement any tasks.
Disadvantages:
Performance:
SaaS might work slower somewhere as it runs on a shared
server and network. It becomes even slower when an update arrives. Because the
company needs to provide the updated version to each and every user, not a
single one. So, while it is being maintained, the application might work on a
slower side.
Connectivity:
Though SaaS is built on progressive web
frameworks, it needs to interact with the server somewhere. In this situation,
your system needs to have decent internet connection otherwise the server might
crash or it might show errors while deploying.
