  What is SaaS (Software as a Service)? Software as a service (SaaS)   allows users to connect to and use cloud-based apps over the Internet. Common examples are email, calendaring, and office tools (such as Microsoft Office 365).

  What is PaaS (Platform as a Service)? Platform as a service (PaaS)   allows you to avoid the expense and complexity of buying and managing underlying application infrastructure. You manage the applications and services you develop, and the cloud service provider typically manages everything else.
