Effortless Cloud Commitment Management with Zesty
What do you like best about the product?
Zesty automates and manages our RI/CRI/SP commitments on AWS. What stands out the most is the ease with which we can oversee all our cloud commitments without the need to manage them in-house. Zesty’s app provides a great overview, detailing our coverage split by RI/CRI/SP, coverage levels etc. which allows us to easily track and optimise our cloud spend. Additionally, their Slack support is very responsive and gives us valuable advice that helps us make informed decisions.
What do you dislike about the product?
At this point, there's nothing negative to mention about the product and service. Zesty has met all our expectations by streamlining our cloud commitments and offering outstanding support.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Zesty solves our need to automate management of cloud commitments. By taking over the automation of our RIs, CRIs, and SPs management, Zesty allows our team to redirect focus to our core operations. Their platform provides clear visibility into our cloud commitments and costs/savings, which helps us prevent under/overutilisation. This not only saves us valuable time but also cuts down on costs, streamlining our approach to cloud infrastructure management.

It's free money, don't leave it on the table
What do you like best about the product?
Just like those old rotisserie chicken commercials, Zesty is about as "set it and forget it" as you can get. Onboarding was quick, and has required zero work after the initial configuration.
What do you dislike about the product?
I understand the ramp up period of Zesty is required as it takes time to learn our usage, but it would be nice if we could crank up a manual dial for the aspects of our workload that we know will be fairly consistent.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Easy savings.
Zesty - easy AWS EC2 cost savings
What do you like best about the product?
Service was easy to set up and works exactly as expected - saving us 50% on our AWS EC2 bill with no downside.
What do you dislike about the product?
Nothing, it works exactly as expected and we've had no issues.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Significantly reducing our AWS EC2 bill every month with no downside - it's a no-brainer.
We improved our savings thanks to commitment manager tooling
What do you like best about the product?
We used to have AWS Compute Saving Plan until now but thanks to commitment manager we were able to improve our savings. Everything is automated and Zesty is commiting EC2 RIs on our behalf, no risk from our side. This is completing our saving plans and depending of our usage the tool is buying or selling RIs on our behalf. This is a no brainer solution.
What do you dislike about the product?
The console is not perfect and some features are missing but it's nice to have features
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Imroving our savings by reaching a higher level of coverage for reservations
It just works :)
What do you like best about the product?
Zesty has basically been fire and forget for us. It does its thing and we rarely even have to check on it. Averaging about 50% savings from what I can tell, which is great.
What do you dislike about the product?
We're missing functionality for RDS instances, but I know Zesty is currently working on that.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Managing RIs has traditionally been a headache for DevOps teams. We were able to onboard Zesty and now use it to manage our RIs, saving us both time and money.
Simple money saver
What do you like best about the product?
For a very lightweight integration, and minimal upkeep, you can make significant savings on on-demand EC2 instances. It offloads the operational workload of navigating the RI marketplace.
The Customer Success agents - ours is Rommi - are very quick to adapt to your company's needs, be it scaling up/down in existing or new regions.
Put simply, even with the 25% cut, if there was a button in any AWS service that you could click to save 60+%, you would click it instantly. Zesty is effectively that click.

There is very little that I have to say here.

GREAT FOR FREELANCERS!
What do you like best about the product?
What I like most about Zesty is that their customer service is AMAZING. They are always readily available and responsive.
What do you dislike about the product?
What I dislike most about Zesty is that some engineer steps were not intuitive. In addition to that, I found that there was no way to edit within an IDE of choice.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I use Zesty as an informational guide to show me and inform me how my website looks and interacts with my customers.
Great product for cost optimization

The fast results that the product gives you.
Great Customer success team.
Great Customer success team.
What do you dislike about the product?
The UI is not that great, not easy to use and understand your state.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Zesty solving the RI commitment from AWS with you need to buy RIs for 3 years.
Super simple and fair way to save AWS Costs
What do you like best about the product?
It's super simple to apply Zesty to an existing AWS Organization. All subaccounts can be added easily. The pricing is fair and transparent.
What do you dislike about the product?
I see no downsides, as Zesty even reimburses over-provisioned reserved instances.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
It minimizes our AWS costs and we do not have to think about the right reserved instances to purchase.
Zesty Commitment Manager Review
What do you like best about the product?
Once configured and operating, the CM tool is a hands-off tool that manages reserved instances on our behalf. With the coverage guarantee in place, we can safely push our coverage to 100% without concern about overcommitting to a RI that might no longer be used.
What do you dislike about the product?
The CM tool is still a work in progress - specifically in terms of what types of workloads it optimizes. As a large, decentralized (and multi-cloud) user, we would like to expand our use of the CM tool into more areas that match our growth, e.g., RDS or Azure workloads.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
The CM tool allows us to be more aggressive in our RI coverage (near 100%) without fear of overcommitment - and spending money - on resources that are no longer in use.
