We are not a large, global firm, but a US mid-size bank. We went to US Cloud 3 years ago and signed another 3 years with them late last year. We have been very happy with their service and the support we get from them. We have saved a lot of money by switching from Microsoft support. Sorry that I can't give you the global view.
