South Africa's three top cloud providers — and one companies avoid

MyBroadband's business technology survey revealed that Google Cloud, Microsoft Azure, and AWS are the top cloud providers, while most companies avoid Huawei Cloud.

The survey was completed by 783 respondents. Only responses from executives and managers who decide which ICT products their companies buy were considered.

Erm...your title is:

"South Africa's three top cloud providers — and one companies avoid"

I think it should be company, not companies.

No this is correct. It is one (i.e. cloud provider) that companies (plural) avoid. You'd be correct if it was "and one company to avoid", but as it stands this is grammatically correct.

Good point. I get it now, thanks.

No mention of Oracle Cloud - they have a local presence.
Been using Oracle Cloud Free Tier for a year - works a charm.

No it should have been "and one that companies avoid". By leaving out the "that" it creates confusion over the subject and is not formally correct.

Agreed that it would be more accurate by including "that", but it's still grammatically correct, albeit poorly written...

Article should state "Public Cloud" companies. There is a big difference between Private & Public cloud service offerings.

Some salesman got in the head in of our senior managers here about Huawei. Going to put a stop to this quickly.
