Comparing 6 multicloud management platforms

Bill Doerrfeld | June 16, 2025

My latest for InfoWorld explores solutions for unifying cross-cloud operations.

Over 70% of organizations are using two or more clouds... so, where are all the multicloud management platforms?!


Truly cloud-agnostic, fully featured multicloud solutions are rare, but I found and reviewed a handful of impressive options in this new piece for InfoWorld.


The article highlights six modern platforms that unify cross-cloud functions like deployment, configuration, governance, observability, monitoring, cost analysis, and more. I also mention some emerging solutions and best-of-breed tools for more specific multicloud needs.


This focuses more on multicloud application deployment and management, rather than cloud-based business apps.


There's more to be said about the rise of hybrid and niche alternative clouds, which I plan to cover soon. Til then, my head’s in the clouds... ☁️
