I’ve been noticing how quickly businesses and even individuals jump on new SaaS platforms for almost everything project management, communication, analytics, you name it. They’re fast to set up, affordable at the start, and packed with features.
But here’s the thing: the more I use them, the more I realize how much we have to adjust our workflow to fit the tool instead of the other way around. Sometimes I wonder if that’s slowing teams down instead of making them more productive.
On the flip side, custom-built software takes longer and costs more, but it seems to give more flexibility in the long run. It grows with the business, integrates better with existing systems, and doesn’t force you into using features you don’t need.
I have a Question:
If you’ve worked with both SaaS platforms and custom solutions which one do you feel actually brings more value over time? Do the short-term wins of SaaS outweigh the long-term control of custom software, or is it the other way around?
