Shared/Multi Tenant
Pro: Price
Cons: security

Advantages:

• The largest advantage here is price - popular among small business and individuals
• maximum efficiency of computing resources. 
• vendor can make overnight improvements, like adding features. 
• Think Gmail and other services which Individuals user
• Think Rally, Salesforce which businesses use.

Disadvantages:

• who are not bound by compliance standards 
• less concerned about security. 
• risk of another business accidentally or intentionally snooping on data that is not their own. 

• Often this security risk is what keeps people away from the cloud altogether, but there is a way around it…

Dedicated Instances - private Cloud:
Pro: Security
Cons: Price

• If security is a concern in your organization, 
• if you have to meet compliance standards,  
• hardware, data storage, and network is designed to provide high levels of security that cannot be accessed by other clients in the same data-center. 
• Customization for a dedicated framework - One size does not fit all
• Yes, the price tag is larger.
