SaaS model still a cloud conversation-starter

As the cloud computing world turns, often does the market's view of its once prevalent technologies. The latest and greatest services replace their now outdated predecessor. However, some cloud technology has stood the test of time, including software as a service. SaaS vendors host applications and deliver them to organizations over the Internet or a network. But why does SaaS remain so popular among enterprises?

The rise of microservices, coupled with benefits such as automatic updates, patch management and accessibility, is still generating SaaS buzz in the market -- and in the Twittersphere. So, what are people saying about SaaS? The tweets below give a glimpse.
