Cloud Adoption & Vendor Satisfaction Survey
Evaluate how enterprise technology leaders compare cloud platforms, choose deployment models, and weigh security, performance, support, and commercial terms, so you can sharpen positioning, improve retention, and strengthen acquisition across priority accounts.
CONTEXT & RELEVANCE
Why run this survey now
Most cloud providers don't lose accounts purely on headline pricing. They lose preference due to migration friction, reliability concerns, support inconsistency, security perceptions, and unclear cost governance, none of which show up in renewal data or service tickets.
If you are...
- Cloud portfolio leaders
- Enterprise sales directors
- Customer success executives
- Cloud procurement heads
- Infrastructure strategy teams
You're likely facing...
- High platform satisfaction still produces weak renewal confidence among strategic accounts
- Strong brand awareness masks low shortlist inclusion for regulated workloads
- Inconsistent support across regions creates enterprise escalation risk
- Limited cost transparency drives unexpected consumption overruns during scaling
- Migration complexity causes delayed workload expansion after initial adoption
This will help answer...
- Vendor preference drivers
- Renewal risk signals
- Workload migration barriers
- Support experience gaps
- Segment-specific value propositions
