The report found that of companies using multiple cloud platforms, 48% are also taking a hybrid approach by utilizing both public and private clouds.

To get a better understanding of what these multi and hybrid cloud environments look like, and to identify the common challenges and opportunities shared by developers, IT teams, and companies working to become cloud-native, 416 US and UK IT decision-makers were surveyed in Q4 2021.

Respondents included decision-makers from organizations that began their cloud journey two or more years ago, between one and two years ago, and less than a year ago.

As more IT decision-makers look to take advantage of modern cloud environments, they're increasingly running into longer project runways and the need for bigger budgets.

35% of respondents highlighted that "It takes bigger budget than expected" as the challenge they most often face when migrating resources across multiple clouds.

"IT teams have found themselves helpless against hidden charges and a lack of company-wide cloud visibility within their platforms' billing systems. This new data showcases how widespread these issues are and suggests that cloud providers still have a long way to go to deliver a user experience that meets the evolving needs of their customers."
