The Pros

Here some advantages businesses enjoy from cloud computing,

  • Cost Savings: You gain access to powerful tools without the cost of purchasing hardware, software, or licenses. Everything is on the cloud.
  • Accessibility: You can access anything you stored in the cloud through all your web-enabled devices.
  • Reliability: Given an array of available servers, services can be easily moved to other servers in case of a failure.
  • Scalability: If a company needs to expand, cloud service providers can upscale to suit your needs. This lessens the need for new equipment.
  • Efficiency: Multiple users can work together and communicate over the cloud. This makes operations more smooth-sailing.
  • Agility: Given all the advantages of cloud computing, app development, testing, and deployment are accelerated.
  • Security: Given that they cater to a huge number of clients, cloud service providers comply to high-level security protocols. These security measures cost a fortune to implement — another area where your business could cut down some costs.

The Cons

On the flip side, here are challenges which this technology must overcome to propel it to the top,

  • Downtime: Handling a lot of clients may overwhelm cloud service providers. There are also power outages and connectivity interruptions. All these entail the suspension of your processes.
  • Vendor Lock-in: Currently, migration from one provider to another is rough. There are interoperability, compatibility, and support issues surrounding migration. This might end up with your business getting stuck with your provider when you need to make a switch.
  • Opaqueness: Cloud providers do not immediately inform customers about a security breach. This is something not every enterprise can tolerate.
  • Security: While there are high standards when it comes to security, cloud computing services are still vulnerable to security risks. Given that you’re using these services to handle important business data, you cannot afford such risk. This matter won’t ever really go away, providers should just ensure that the risks are under control.
