Doing reservation manually to save cost is actually spending money **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Pavan K. | Chief Software Architect, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 20, 2021 **What do you like best about Zesty?** Zesty takes away all the manual work of reviewing whole infrastructure and forecasting what to reserve and what not to reserve. On top of that we no longer need to be binded by instance type of family, you can change your infrastructure as you see fit without having to worry about existing reservations or buying new reservations for saving money. Zesty actually saves more money than plain old reservation directly purchased from amazon and can learn your dynamic workload to actually even purchase savings plan as needed and can change it based on changes you make in infrastructure. Zesty also offers a 100% buyback guarantee which is sweet in case there is some issue with reservations. **What do you dislike about Zesty?** There is really nothing to dislike about Zesty! Just waiting for a few of the features to be available like RDS RI. **What problems is Zesty solving and how is that benefiting you?** Flexibility in reservations and changing them whenever needed. ### 2. CloudVisor so far so good **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 11, 2020 **What do you like best about Zesty?** Pretty quick more or less turnkey solution with easy set up. **What do you dislike about Zesty?** Would like richer dashboard features, richer data export options, but that's all coming. **What problems is Zesty solving and how is that benefiting you?** Identifying and implementing cost savings easily and seamlessly. ### 3. Zesty makes it very easy to reduce AWS EC2 bills **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Computer Software | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** July 13, 2021 **What do you like best about Zesty?** It's a great solution focusing on added value for customers and simplicity, making cost savings easy, taking all the nasty risks and decision making (upfront commitment, etc.) from our shoulders. **What do you dislike about Zesty?** There is nothing that I specifically dislike about Zesty. **What problems is Zesty solving and how is that benefiting you?** Automatically getting most out of AWS EC2 cost reduction capabilities (SavingPlans and ReservedInstances). ### 4. Amazing savings, completely automated **Rating:** 4.5/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ramchander R. | Principal Devops Engineer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 20, 2021 **What do you like best about Zesty?** It’s fast, simple, and does what it says it does. We saved significantly on EC2 with no effort. **What do you dislike about Zesty?** There have been some minor bugs/UX issues, but they usually get fixed fast. **What problems is Zesty solving and how is that benefiting you?** Prior to Zesty, we were relying too heavily on on-demand resources and oftentimes, overprovisioned our EC2 commitments since our needs were so unpredictable. Zesty automatically purchases and sells RIs and Savings plans according to our real-time needs so this is no longer an issue. ### 5. Sensational! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Ofir N. | Operations, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 06, 2021 **What do you like best about Zesty?** Probably the best FinOps automation solution we've used so far. Onboarding and Integration are super easy, and before having a contract you can get a detailed report on the additional savings potential. Savings are significant - after a few day their algorithm finds the sweet spots and some crazy opportunities in the Reserved/Saving plans market, utilize them much better than humans. Besides the additional significant savings, the feeling of being flexible and not worry about resource changes because of RI is great - and make the team focus on scaling instead of managing reservation. To sum up - they help you take money from the ground with very little effort. **What do you dislike about Zesty?** They're relatively new so the insights app is not performing 100%, but it does not really matter. **What problems is Zesty solving and how is that benefiting you?** FinOps automation AWS Reserved Instances management ### 6. significant savings **Rating:** 4.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Gilad M. | Head of DevOps, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 02, 2021 **What do you like best about Zesty?** Fully automated, allows us to benefit from long-term commitment discounts without taking on the commitment. No risk with the buy-back guarantee. **What do you dislike about Zesty?** on boarding process takes time with root account signing to your aws account **What problems is Zesty solving and how is that benefiting you?** We want to save as much money as we can without having to devote resources. Zesty has generated savings off of our EC2 bill without changing our workloads. We only pay a percentage of the savings. ### 7. Simple, fast value and great service **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Raz S. | Head of DevOps, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 11, 2020 **What do you like best about Zesty?** Getting high value in minimum effort, great service and great UI. **What do you dislike about Zesty?** I didn't find any disadvantages yet, waiting for RDS and Neptune support in the future. **What problems is Zesty solving and how is that benefiting you?** Cost visibility and saving in the cloud. ### 8.

Cloudvisor solves huge pain points in reviewing your AWS infrastructure's cost... along with saving you thousands per month! **What do you dislike about Zesty?** There is not much to dislike other than we have to wait for the upcoming features they are working on. They know what their customers need and are nailing the execution as far as I can tell. **Recommendations to others considering Zesty:** Contact Cloudvisor and ask what type of savings they can do for you and they'll walk you through the process to find out within 24-48 hrs how much they could save you per year. The savings speak for itself. **What problems is Zesty solving and how is that benefiting you?** We've reduced our AWS EC2 costs by nearly 60 percent and are now able to better handle monitoring of orphaned services that no longer need to exist at the capacity they once were, helping reduce the bill even further. ### 9.

We're waiting for their Spot solution to be out... **What problems is Zesty solving and how is that benefiting you?** We were manually managing our commitments and we would never reach such high coverage rates since we didn't want to be stuck with over-provisioned instances.

Life-Changing Product! **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Shachar A. | DevOps Engineer, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** January 07, 2021 **What do you like best about Zesty?** The onboarding process was seamless and provided great insight on potential savings.

Manual RI calculation is wack **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Nadav S. | Foundation Member, Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** May 21, 2020 **What do you like best about Zesty?** Cloudvisor provides a fully automated RI management tool (with additional freebies). No more need for manually calculate what RI to purchase, in what region and so on. The dashboard is clean and informative: includes the projects spend and saving. The S3 size / cost / security issues is also used highly by our team. With it we were able to analyze (and terminate) a few buckets that cost us quite allot. The turn on / off feature of EC2 instances is simple for deployment. **What do you dislike about Zesty?** The tool still had a few bugs when we started on late 2019 but the team was and still is super attentive to our remarks and suggestions, they immediately added our comments to their work plan. **Recommendations to others considering Zesty:** Unfortunately currently due to platform limitations (not from Cloudvisor's side) the solution doesn't support GCP or Azure. **What problems is Zesty solving and how is that benefiting you?** We're saving money with 0 man hours. The tool searches for relevant RI's in the marketplace and adjust it self as it goes. Our workloads are spread through multiple accounts so you can estimate the overhead that causes. Before we on-boarded our accounts with them, we had to manually calculate and forecast the instance sizes, flavors and regions and continuously monitor the changes. ### 19.

In a league of their own **Rating:** 5.0/5.0 stars **Reviewed by:** Verified User in Facilities Services | Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) **Reviewed Date:** November 04, 2020 **What do you like best about Zesty?** Complete automation. I literally have to do nothing and my cloud bill shrinks.
