SaaS
Software as a service Sometimes referred to as "on-demand software,"
A software delivery model in which software and its associated data are hosted centrally (typically in the (Internet) cloud) and are typically accessed by users using a thin client, normally using a web browser over the Internet

Cost
SaaS can be deployed at a much smaller initial cost, which can be attractive to smaller businesses. But as the business grow, the expenses for SaaS based ERP also increases
Flexibility
SaaS is generally less flexible than traditional ERP in that you can't completely customize or rewrite the software
Control
Because SaaS is less flexible there is a little control over it
