Web applications are defined as software programs that run on a remote server and are accessible via a web browser. They offer several advantages, including cost-effectiveness, accessibility, customization, and enhanced security, though they also face limitations like increased size and restrictions on client-side interactions. Overall, web applications are recommended for businesses due to their benefits in development and user experience.

1. Pros & Cons of using them
What is a web app?

2. Summary

Web applications are utilized globally.

The superlative web applications are getting the
good hits.

Still, many have not a clear idea about the
positive sides of building the web applications.

Here is the guide for them.

3. Introduction

Web application refers to the application program which
can be stored on a remote server.

The client-server software applications run in a web
browser.

It can also be defined like, any website which is
performing some functions for the users.

Web applications sometimes are built for a specific
platform just like a cross-platform app development
services.

4. 
But, some web applications may contain the elements of
both native & web apps.

Users can utilize any application from any computer
through the internet connectivity.

The developers say that almost any desktop software can
be developed as the web-based application.

5. Pros of web Applications
High profile developers suggest the businesses craft the web based
application. Here are the reasons why web apps are highly
preferable.

6. 1) Cost effective development :

Developing & using web apps is, availability with less
expense.

A common app can be developed considering a single
operating system.

The software testers accomplish their task and ensure that it
performs smoothly on all possible platforms.

Users can access the system through the uniform
environment.

7. 2) Anytime Access :

Web apps are that much flexible which can be operated
anytime & anywhere.

A PC with an internet connection is enough to access the
website.

8. 3) Customization :

The web application developers share that it is easy to
customize the web-based applications with compare to the
desktop applications.

Altering the look and feel of the web app is facile with the
web apps. Smart developers can formulate the highly
customized products with fewer efforts through web app
development.
Customization

9. 4) Supports Various
Devices:

A range of devices and their versions are available in the
market.

Web apps easily support all the devices connected with the
internet.

Operate the web apps simply in PDAs and Smart Phones.

With the web applications development services, it has
turned trouble free to send and receive information with the
extended performance.

10. 5) Enhanced Interoperability:

Isolated desktop systems are not so far interoperable with
compare to the web applications.

This statement has been supported by many industry leaders
that with the use of web applications a greater level of
interoperability can be achieved.

Let's take an example. In the case you want to integrate the
shopping cart module with the accounting package, then it is
developer friendly with the web applications.

11. 6) Bare the Increased Workload:

The web apps are affected with the frequent advancements.

Web apps need to be extended with the exclusive features.
it seems a simple task to increase the processor capacity.

“Clustering” is the process to boost the capacity of web-
based software.

An expert can also integrate new servers on the situation of
increased workload.

12. 7) Security is a Priority:

It is a great concern when there is a transformation of highly
sensitive Data.

Web applications are more secure than the simple websites
because they are generally deployed on the dedicated
servers.

Experienced server administrators monitor the web apps
and maintain them for providing the excellent user
experience and security.

13. 8) Utilize the Core Technology as per your choice:

The web app development company can choose any of the
three core technologies available.

First option is of selecting the Java based solutions from Sun
Microsystems which include technologies such as JSP &
Servlets.

Developers have other option to choose Microsoft .NET
platform which uses Active Server Pages, SQL Server and
.NET scripting languages.

The developer friendly open source platforms are also
available such as PHP and MySQL.

14. Cons of web Applications

15. Limitations of Web Applications:

The technology advancements are always introduced for the
good purpose.

But, each option has its own attitude towards some critical
conditions.

There are both positive and negative sides of each
technology existing.

Each platform has its own environment defined for web app
development.

The Limitations or we can consider the disadvantages of web
applications are:

16. 1) Overhead & Increased Size:

It is noticed that, with compare to the native desktop
applications, the web applications work and function slowly.

The other factor affects a lot is, during the web application
development developer ships entire web browser with the
app.

Hence, as a result the app size increases.

17. 2) Restrictions for Client Side:

Inside the browser, clients can not read the files, print or
email.

Because this is considered as a security hole for the web
applications.

18. Concluding Note:

Considering both the positive and negative aspects, it is
concluded that web applications must be preferred for
the business purpose.

The benefits of web applications are, easy to develop,
user centric, easy to install, easy to maintain and good
security, etc.
