Pros
Started the “I don’t need to leave my house anymore” wave – specific to rentals (The death of Blockbuster) Cheaper than a local video store if you watched more than 4 movies a month… great ROI!
Cons
It’s a DVD. Its physical. Not really that portable. Oops I forgot that DVD! If a movie was terrible…you are 4 days out to receive what's next in your DVD queue (Not flexible)

NETFLIX - The Ultimate Cloud Story
Initial offer was cheaper, slower, less flexible but was better than what was offered before
with local video stores. However there was still infrastructure (or physical equipment),
and was slower, and not as agile.
New offer or new business model was more expensive (on paper) but it was much faster,
extremely flexible and was even better that what the company offered before.
IT PROVIDED A BETTER VALUE.
In fact so much value that the market accepted the new model with open arms.
On average Netflix has seen about a 30% increase year over year growth since 2007.
The cloud can enable things that a physical device (infrastructure) can’t deliver.
It can deliver MORE services faster, allow you as the end user to utilize the applications on
any device, anywhere, and at anytime. The SKY is the limit “pun intended”
Now For The Costs...
The Costs for Cloud Services are not
Going Down
Going Down
New Functionality is Always Being Added...
For a profitable SaaS org, the revenue or additional revenue generated from subscriptions allows these organizations to continue to innovate, add more content and features, and prevents the technology from getting tired to its end users. Let's move away from the cost discussion and focus on what the cloud allows us to accomplish that traditional or legacy services or products prevent us from doing.
