The 9-Point Checklist to Choose a SaaS Solution – Part 1

Choosing a SaaS solution is a gigantic decision. You need to put each potential product through the traditional process of choosing a solution. We’ve put together a list of 9 key things to look out for when choosing a SaaS, let’s take a look.

Is It Really a SaaS Platform?

Vendors are shifting their legacy platforms to the cloud and calling themselves SaaS because the customers are discovering the benefits of borrowing platforms instead of building them. However, what they are doing,in reality,is just moving you from your current hosting provider to a new hosting provider. Seeing the evidence of continuous innovation and improvement is the key to identifying a SaaS platform. A continuously evolving system that can grow and change as your business changes and grows is what makes a good solution.

Is It Flexible?

A SaaS platform will give you a central hub to manage your website or an entire fleet of websites. Additionally, it should allow you to easily be able to add new users, deploy new websites, and add new features to your site at speed.

Are There Fixed Fees?

SaaS pricing is typically based on the size of your organization, the number of users or the overall feature set you require. Some of them allow package customization if you demand customization to a current SaaS CMS before calculating your monthly fee. But make sure you find out sooner rather than later about what those fees are and the tenure for which they will remain fixed, else be prepared for crooked financial projections on your end.
