The Cost
of Cloud

So where now? What can be done to build a better cloud-native world? The perceived safety of firms investing in hyperscaler services cannot become a justification to excuse them when they underdeliver.

Our research has identified that the myths around hyperscalers remain widespread. In particular, there remains a lingering misconception on security, with 51% of businesses staying with the “Big Three” because they believed alternative providers to the hyperscalers are less secure. For 37% it came down to a matter of convenience.

Yet our research revealed a growing undercurrent of dissatisfaction with the hyperscalers. Users report spiralling costs, lack of transparency on billing, and general disquiet about how they hyperscalers operate. Indeed, of the businesses surveyed, 82% think the big three hyperscalers should reduce their charges. If this trend is allowed to continue, customers will vote with their feet and start to look elsewhere.
