Web Applications vs. Desktop Applications (Part 3)
These two applications can be compared based on:
Maintenance – for web based applications, it only needs to be installed once whereas the desktop applications have to be installed separately on each computer. Also, updating the software can be cumbersome with desktop applications because it needs to be done on every single computer while it will not be the case with web applications.
Ease of use – desktop applications are just confined to a single location whereas a desktop application can be accessed from any location using the internet. Therefore, web applications development makes it more convenient for the users to access the application.
