CloudBolt Industry Insights Report:
Hitting a Wall in a Multi-Cloud, Multi-Tool World
7 Key Findings
CloudBolt Industry Insights (CII) has a mission of providing a different type of research for
enterprise C-Suite, IT admins and developers. CII zeroes in on specific dimensions of hybrid
cloud/multi-cloud topics and examines each's role in digital transformation. This report
represents the largest sample size of any CII study to date with responses from 500 senior IT,
DevOps, SecOps, and FinOps leaders from around the world. And the agreement of their
answers is unmistakable.
Acceleration, Transformation, Cost Savings, and Agility:
Companies were clear in stating that these four
outcomes were the drivers for moving to the cloud in the first
place (73%, 59%, 49%, 47% respectively).

The Wall is real:
The Wall isn't just Mile #20 of a marathon. Fully 79% of
respondents indicate they are hitting a wall using their
existing tools and platforms. More importantly, they realize
these solutions won't be able to accomplish what they need
going forward.
You can't know what you can't see:
Digging into the topic of visibility into cloud costs and spend
across tools, resources, and clouds, 80% say they are struggling to
get a comprehensive view (apply this finding to what respondents
said in #2 above to see why that answer is suspect).
Taking off the rose-colored glasses:
78% of companies asserted they believe they are saving
money versus running everything through on-premises data centers.
However, answers to other questions regarding visibility later in the
survey beg the question: "How could you possibly know for sure?"
