These fake cloud applications may have a web browser interface, but they are still ultimately installed applications with all of the legacy issue associated with installed applications. Often the \u201ccloud\u201d label means it\u2019s simply on a managed server or virtual machine instead of being on your server in your office.<\/p>\n<p>In order to clear up the confusion, we\u2019ve put together a handy infographic with the differences.
