Ninety percent of the Fortune 500 use Microsoft Azure, the most well-known public Cloud services provider today. They also offer services specifically designed for small enterprises and can provide access to top-notch Cloud computing resources at a reasonable cost. It is understandable why Microsoft Azure is regarded as the Cloud computing option that can upgrade the IT infrastructure.

It really depends on the company requirements. AWS has a vast array of services that will look very overwhelming depending on the needs. It is also about using the best tool for the job and potentially looking at multi-cloud
I think AWS and AZURE are mainstream and finding skilled people are relatively easy, google cloud seems a bit different from the other two and difficult to learn and get skilled people. However the AI/Ml capabilities of Google cloud has an edge over the other two
I am finding that more and more people have had some experience with GCP, and find it much easier to use than either AWS or Azure. Clearly Google was late to the party, but took advantage of that to avoid some of the mistakes the others made. There are definitely more AWS certified folks out there, but as cloud competence in general grows, I think the gap will close fairly quickly.
I no longer recommend Google unless the organization is already intertwined with their services.
Do you mind sharing why?
From what I have seen, Google's suite of services are not as enterprise ready or easy to use as O365. I am sure others would argue different, but O365 has been easier to implement and deploy to new users.
For Enterprises 'just moving' to cloud - IBM offers familiarity with the suite of apps and services, and the cloud experience.
