I have experience in onpremise and cloud business apps. The above points are extremely important before you jump into cloud bandwagon. Most important among them is the extensibility capabilities. For on premise you will get complete freedom to change anything.In most of the cases you get the same set of tools and technologies that software publisher user. But this is not the case for cloud apps. So before you jump into SaaS app think about the option of running a browser based on premise product in a public cloud especially if you are a large enterprise with lot of customisation in your business process system.
