I can second this. We evaluated AWS, Azure and GCP for a very large healthcare company and found that Azure was the worst cloud services provider for anything. This was in spite a big push by leadership to encourage Azure, developers just hated it

Between AWS and GCP even though AWS come out on top, GCP wins in quite a few services.

Could you go more into this? How did you go about the evaluation and what metrics were you using? How did you capture the 'developers just hated it' in a way that leadership understood?

I'm not disputing the outcome, just feel like it would be useful for others in a similar situation.

Gonna second this. We are also in a situation where a few of the higher management were clearly bribed to push our company into Azure direction but the amount of problems we see may destroy our company..

What tips in AWS's favor, roughly speaking? My general feel is GCP is slightly cheaper but is missing some offerings, while AWS is a mature 1-stop shop that's well documented.

Well Azure comes with the biggest compliance/certification package - of course upper management will love it.
