Google Cloud is fair competition – provided they have the service you need. AWS and Azure both beat them in number of services. If Google has it, then it should behave as expected, and some are downright impressive (GKE and VM auto migration on GCE).
Azure is... infuriating. Inconsistent, unreliable APIs, surprising behavior everywhere (attach an internal load balancer, lose internet connectivity!?), lots of restrictions on which features can be used with which SKUs.
I see improvements and it is difficult to beat them in the enterprise, but speaking as an engineer, man Azure is infuriating.

Ah, yes, the "TCP and UDP egress work unless you define an _ingress_ load balancing rule for either protocol, at which point the other protocol breaks until you create a dummy rule for the other protocol that will trigger your security team to send you tickets every few months."
