Awesome Savings
What do you like best about the product?
The simplicity was excellent. We specialise in machine learning on datasets that vary wildly in size, and so optimising our compute resource has been on the top of our roadmap for quite some time. Zesty managed the AWS on-boarding process, were kind enough to host meetings to check everything was set up correctly, and had very simple setup documentation
What do you dislike about the product?
nothing, it's an awesome service - one i'd happily recommend to anyone using AWS
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Reducing autoscaling cloud compute costs in an effective way. We've had excellent cost savings so far, that began immediately after we started working with zesty.
Recommendations to others considering the product:
Honestly, it's so simple to set up and the savings are great - there's nothing to lose.

Zesty just works.

What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing much to dislike.
As long as AWS allows this automation on their marketplace, I see no reason/situation for not using such a tool.

Action vs advise - it is about Zesty
What do you like best about the product?
We have been working with Zesty (former Cloudvisor) for several years. The main difference in the competitive market is that all of their solutions are fully automated and adapted to the client's AWS infrastructure. Easy integration, good dashboard, and perfect support. Zesty allows to track the saving in real-time that is helpful for analysis and forecast whenever you need it. I strongly recommend them when someone comes up with a question "how to optimize out AWS costs"?
What do you dislike about the product?
The limitation with AWS only, I would love to work with Zesty in regards to Azure and GCP too.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I would say about a set of benefits to working with Zesty:
- Automated EC2 RI management
- EBS optimization
- Possibility to identify and remove unused resources
- Cost-saving
- Minimum efforts to manage the listed things above

Cloud Savings on auto-pilot!!!
What do you like best about the product?
What I like best, besides the significant cost savings Zesty is able to provide us, is that the system is completely effortless.
Zesty is an automatic system that purchases and sells commitments, based on our actual usage, this is really amazing.
We don't need to forecast our EC2 usage anymore, Zesty is doing it independently for us, and always gets the best discounts on the RI marketplace.

What do you dislike about the product?
There is nothing to dislike, onboarding takes literally 10 minutes, and beyond that, the system is running on auto-pilot with absolutely zero human touch.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The pain problem we are solving with Zesty is cost optimization.
Our on-demand costs were growing very fast as the company scales, and we realized we needed an easy solution that will help us reduce our cloud costs automatically.
Besides saving us an average of 35% on our EC2 costs, Zesty is a no-touch solution that relieves our engineers from cost optimization tasks.
