Google's Cloud seems to be making progress under its relatively new leader Thomas Kurian in convincing big enterprise companies to give a try.

This story requires our BI Prime membership. To read the full article,Google's Cloud seems to be making progress under its relatively new leader Thomas Kurian in convincing big enterprise companies to give it a try.

Kurian took over Google Cloud at the beginning of the year, after a long career at Oracle where he was leading the database giant's effort to take on AWS. He succeeded Diane Greene, best known as the cofounder of VMware, as leader of Google Cloud. By hiring Greene, and then Kurian, Google has signalled its intentions to woo the enterprise market, which has, until recently, been mostly focused on using AWS or Microsoft Azure.

The ParkMyCloud data shows that although Google is still in a distant third place behind AWS and Azure, Google Cloud has gained market share in terms of the number of new customers. There are even a handful of companies using all three cloud service providers, which is also a new trend in the last six months.Market researcher Gartner also just released its famous quarterly"magic quadrant" report for the cloud market — its ranking of the major players, including assessments of the strengths and weaknesses of each.

While that sounds promising, Gartner also warned that Google still has a long way to go before it really figures out how to work with enterprises."Google demonstrates an immaturity of process and procedures" which makes it difficult to work with, according to its surveys of customers, Gartner says.
