SaaS vs Traditional Software

Adobe made a major shift around 2013 when it turned its products into SaaS offerings πŸš€. Back then, many users pushed back β€” forums were full of complaints. But over time, the move paid off βœ…. It helped Adobe grow faster, simplify updates, and manage its products more efficiently.

SaaS means software you don’t own πŸ’». You pay a subscription, updates happen automatically, and you don’t need to worry about hardware. For small businesses, this makes trying new tools cheaper and easier. Investors like it because revenue is more predictable πŸ’°. Users just get the software working without hassle.

It’s not the same as any subscription service β€” the cloud ☁️ is what makes SaaS different. Updates are automatic, scaling is simple, and flexibility is real.

SaaS isn’t just software; it’s a practical way to use tools without extra overhead. Anyone building, selling, or investing should know why it works.
