Cons of Cloud Applications
Cloud applications are gaining popularity, but they aren't ideal in every situation.
Internet connection needed
- An Internet connection is needed at all times.
Privacy
- Users have no control over how their data is stored in the cloud.
- Hackers are more likely to attack data stored in the cloud than local data.
Pricing changes
- Cloud service providers may change their pricing plans at any time.
- If prices dramatically increase it may be difficult to find a suitable replacement.
