Self-provisioning (ability to add users as needed).
No maintenance or installation requirements.
You don't pay for the hardware that runs the application.
You don't need to worry about maintenance or licensing fees.
Nothing to install and no support worries.

PaaS
PaaS provides a platform with tools to test, develop, and host applications in the same environment.
Enables organizations to focus on development without having to worry about underlying infrastructure.
Providers manage security, operating systems, server software and backups.
Facilitates collaborative work even if teams work remotely.
-
IaaS
Instead of purchasing hardware outright, users pay for laaS on demand.
Infrastructure is scalable depending on processing and storage needs.
Saves enterprises the costs of buying and maintaining their own hardware.
Because data is on the cloud, there can be no single point of failure.
Enables the virtualization of administrative tasks, freeing up time for other work.
