Why SaaS is more popular?

Initially only few apps were available as the part of SaaS application but as the demand grows, the provider have added more apps to their existing apps. As a recent survey indicates, more number of IT managers would switch to the SaaS application very shortly and hence the SaaS application market is growing rapidly. Reality states that more number of mid-size companies are fastly moving towards SaaS Applications. Some of the features that made SaaS more popular are:

  • Data loss due to accidental deletion
  • Information loss with departed employee
  • Cyber crime
  • Malicious attack

Some of the customers don’t understand that they need to have backup of their SaaS-based data since they decide that the provider is making backup of its own. But the reality is when the outage comes and it turn out to be not. SaaS provider doesn’t claims full responsibility for restoring the lost data or sometime they agree only if huge amount is paid . For example if an user deletes data from SaaS then there is no possibility to recover the data.
