With the number of industry-specific SaaS platforms, there are hardly any arguments in favor of a solution from scratch. Think about all the time you waste developing an in-house solution, while you could sign up at a SaaS platform and start growing your business straight away.
But what about those who run their business on in-house solutions?
The majority of vendors who manage their business on in-house software solutions must have started ten or more years ago. At that time, the market was not that saturated, and finding a comprehensive SaaS provider might have been challenging. Thus, we can imagine that back then, developing a solution from scratch was an option.
Nowadays you won’t see a startup choosing an in-house software solution over a SaaS platform. Moreover users will have a big deal of comparison to do among similar SaaS products before making a final decision. But still, there are certain misunderstandings when it comes to SaaS tools, mainly spread by the adherents of solutions from scratch. Not everybody is aware of the possibilities that SaaS platforms can offer.
We prepared the list with the most common delusions about SaaS platforms’ capabilities to dispel certain misperceptions. Let’s see together what is a myth and what is a fact.
