Cloud Comparison: AWS Azure, Google Cloud, and Google Cloud

There are many factors to consider when choosing cloud providers. It can be overwhelming to look at the overall strategy and strengths of each provider if you feel overwhelmed. Are they in line with yours?
In different areas, Amazon Web Services (AWS), Azure, and Google Cloud stand out. Let’s look at their greatest strengths and weaknesses.

Amazon AWS Pros and Cons
AWS Strengths
AWS Weaknesses

It is highly regarded for its security, reliability and monitoring, policy features, and platform configuration options. AWS is continually adding new services to existing ones and enhancing them with new capabilities.
AWS might not be the best option if you have a hybrid cloud strategy.
AWS’s scale is another concern. AWS’s large portfolio of services can be difficult for smaller companies to navigate. Some view AWS as a difficult provider to manage.

Azure seamlessly integrates with key on-premises systems such as Windows Server, Active Directory, and System Center. Microsoft excels in hybrid cloud and PaaS capabilities.
Azure has a disadvantage in that it requires technical expertise to configure and maintain it in a secure, reliable, and efficient manner. Azure configurations can be frustrating and difficult to implement.
Over the years, Azure has experienced a number of outages that have caused reliability issues for virtual networks. Microsoft is continually investing in its reliability and reducing disruptions.

Great reputation in open-source community. Stable in contract negotiations. Deep investments in analytics, machine learning. Small partner ecosystem. Recommended for big data and analytics applications. Limited range of services for larger businesses.
Google has a solid track record in cloud-native startups, and the open source community. However, it has struggled to penetrate the enterprise market.
Google Cloud has a limited network of MSPs and professional service partners. This small ecosystem of partners increases the risks and challenges associated with Google Cloud Platform adoption.
