1. A method comprising:
collecting cloud data generated by a plurality of cloud data sources associated with a plurality of cloud services, wherein a first portion of the cloud data is associated with a first cloud service of the plurality of cloud services and a second portion of the cloud data is associated with a second cloud service of the plurality of cloud services, wherein the first portion of the cloud data has a first format and the second portion of the cloud data has a second format that is different from the first format;
normalizing the first portion of the cloud data and the second portion of the cloud data to produce normalized data, wherein the normalized data includes the first portion of the cloud data and the second portion of the cloud data in a common format;
generating, based on the common format, one or more events from the normalized data, wherein each event of the one or more events includes a portion of the normalized data and reflects activity associated with at least one of the first cloud service or the second cloud service;
identifying a first cloud performance factor associated with the first cloud service and a second cloud performance factor associated with the second cloud service using the one or more events; and
causing display of a visualization based on comparing the first cloud performance factor with the second cloud performance factor, wherein comparison of the first cloud performance factor with the second cloud performance factor is enabled by the first cloud performance factor and the second cloud performance factor having been determined from the normalized data.
