It is worth mentioning that the application prospect of public cloud services is generally promising. 84.6% of public cloud service users said that they would migrate more services to cloud computing. Accordingly, security has become the primary consideration for users to choose cloud service providers, followed by service prices, service stability and after-sales service quality. Quite a number of users believe that carrying out third-party security and quality evaluation and certification, improving cloud computing security supervision and cloud service industry management policies, and optimizing cloud service website filing policies will help promote the development of the public cloud service market.
The survey also shows that more than one third of public cloud service users have experienced changing cloud service providers, mainly due to high prices, poor stability, poor service or poor after-sales service. Nevertheless, users' trust in domestic cloud service providers has improved. 19.7% of respondents said that they would prefer domestic public cloud service providers when facing domestic and foreign service providers at the same time.
