Perhaps from a technology standpoint (debateable).

But from the perspective of a CEO, we want

1. Talent hiring should be easy, so we can plan growth

2. There should be a good self service support for developers

3. Need good sales support in architecture and tech selection (when needed)

4. Need to be able to get through to support engineer in 5 mins or less (we use aws premium support)

5. Need single vendor (as much as possible).

We consume a lot if what aws has to offer - we use their workspaces, mac cloud, device farm, code commit etc

We did a proper shoot out. While aws has its idiosyncrasies- it’s light years ahead of Google and Microsoft

Ps. We use Gsuite (for the last decade) - teaching a live human used to a challenge - now it’s a major pain.

If we find a better alternative to Gmail, Gdocs (etc). I’d switch in a heartbeat.
