SoftwareReviews, a leading provider of insights on the software provider landscape, has recently published its 2023 Data Quadrant Report on the top cloud infrastructure solutions. The comprehensive report provides a detailed view of the top providers of cloud infrastructure-as-a-service (IaaS) platforms.
Unlike traditional data center infrastructure, cloud IaaS provides a utility cost model. These models enable resources to be scaled up or down as required, allowing for greater agility and cost-effectiveness.
The report identifies the top cloud providers of the year based on verified survey data collected from 837 end-users. The providers are ranked by a composite satisfaction score, called a Composite Score (CS). The CS score is the average of four areas of evaluation: Net Emotional Footprint, Vendor Capabilities, Product Features, and Likeliness to Recommend.
The 2023 Cloud Infrastructure Software Gold Medalists, as revealed in the report, are:
- Google Cloud, 8.8 CS, ranked high for analytics and reporting.
- Amazon EC2, 8.7 CS, ranked high for cloud integrations.
- Microsoft Azure, 8.7 CS, ranked high for quality of features.
SoftwareReviews’ user reviews provide an accurate and detailed view of the market. The data comes from individuals who use the software, as well as IT professionals who have worked with it. The report emphasizes the importance of having the right visibility and tooling to control costs while still realizing the speed and agility.
“The focus is now on being ‘cloud smart’; that is, making sure you have the right visibility and tooling to understand and keep control of a more diverse IT footprint and costs while still realizing the speed and agility that brought companies to the cloud in the first place.”
Nabeel Sherif, Principal Advisory Director at Info-Tech Research Group and SoftwareReviews.
