Advantages galore and better security! If you do it right then you have a LOT less to worry about. Let the admins of the above panic over breaches, hunt for lateral movement, and binge on incident response fodder. Keep your secrets safer by NOT running the above in-house.

SaaS vendors are motivated to ensure data security - too many incidents and their customers will flee. And from what I’ve seen recently, the better SaaS vendor teams would crush in-house infrastructure teams in a security fight. It’d be like the in-house teams were walking into the Teutoburg Forest.
