Cloud application is internet based while Desktop application is not. Because Cloud is readily available in the internet, it is easily accessed when needed while in Desktop you have to install an application in order for you to access it. Cloud also saves money because it is easier to manage since there is no application installed while in Desktop you have to maintain and check its performance.
Aside from Cloud’s advantages, it has also its disadvantages and Desktop also has its advantages. In Cloud application you are not sure if your data is kept private since it is available through the net while in Desktop, you are sure that your data is safe because you are the only one that can access it. When the availability of the service shuts down there is no possible way to access your data in Cloud while in Desktop you are confident to find and use your data anytime.
Both Cloud and Desktop has their own advantages and disadvantages. For me, it is wise to use both. Use desktop application for backup and Cloud for instant usage. In this manner you will both save time and effort.
