Also, cloud-based services seem to have data breaches on the regular. But it is mostly wanting to feel like I own what I create, I own my information.
I can understand the reservations. Overall, more and more software will be fully moving to the cloud as time goes on. How all of these companies and even legislators plan on protecting that data, due to the issues you mentioned, I have no idea. It almost seems inevitable in today's world.

For my simpler LLCs, I just use a good old spreadsheet. That's not practical for most businesses but for some it should work just fine.
