platform and there is only one server where all data gets collected and
stored, there is a chance of data security breach. Unauthorized access and
misuse of data can bring a big threat to the organization.

o Termination of Service: Business Organizations that use SAAS
applications can lose their data if the cloud provider terminates their
services due to lawsuits and various other reasons.

o Performance issues: Organizations that use SAAS that runs on slow
internet speed can face problems of performance issues including daily
backup, synchronizing apps and services.
