Choosing between SaaS and the boxed program, you need to consider 2 factors: technical security issues and psychological readiness to start working with the cloud.
We analyzed the reasons for companies’ wary attitude towards SaaS and identified a number of typical fears:

By transferring data to a SaaS platform located in the cloud, I increase the risk that data will become available to my competitors.
Data from the cloud can be stolen by hackers / or a solution provider and sold to my competitors.
It’s Cheaper to Buy the Program Once than to Pay Regularly for Using SaaS.
