AWS EC2 savings with Zesty
What do you like best about the product?
The service is very easy to set up, takes a few weeks to properly ramp up and then just works. It is also very easy to expand with new accounts.
The dashboard is pretty fantastic and brings more value than we initially expected by showing unused resources and even some bad practices.
Staff is super nice and helpful and is proactive when things ever do go wrong.
The pricing model is absolutely awesome and should be a no brainer for any budgeting department.

What do you dislike about the product?
The dashboard has a few corners that are a bit too WIP, but never anything that is a deal breaker.
Account onboarding is a bit clumsy when not using cloudformation, but completely acceptable.
For example, the "unused resources" section does not properly explain why resources are considered unused.

What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Zesty completely takes over RI purchasing and re-sells them when not needed, resulting in much higher savings than through a savings plan. This removes a lot of manual work and does a better job at the same time.

no-brainer cloud cost saving solution
What do you like best about the product?
zero effort onboarding and zero risk of over-commitment or not getting value.
What do you dislike about the product?
Relatively high commission rate on savings.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Zesty allows us to run a large chunk of our very dynamic AWS infrastructure on 3-year commitment RIs, resulting in very significant cost savings that were otherwise difficult to achieve for us.

EBS-Optimized EC2 Instances for our SDAN cost management with Zesty
What do you like best about the product?
In Zesty, we can configure the maximum disk size via our dashboard, and notifications will be immediately sent when the maximum disk size has been reached. It provides efficient reshuffling in which, for shrinking the filesystem, it automatically finds the ideal period to perform this filesystem optimization activity. This is done by automatically merging volumes for workload capacity management.
What do you dislike about the product?
Zesty evaluates the filesystem usage utilization through its read/write metrics and automatically shrinks the EBS disk by detaching volumes for optimizing unused capacity. Hence our storage cost is effectively reduced by Zetsy, and I have no issues using it for optimizing EBS volumes attached to our AWS EC2 instances.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Forecasting of the required storage capacity is a concern for our organization in the AWS platform, and Zesty uses predictive algorithms for the gradual expansion of storage for our SDAN EC2 instances. Zesty agents have a dedicated one-way communication channel through which it operates filesystem utilization metrics with HTTPS. For avoiding service degradation and EBS failure, it continuously monitors & ensures high availability and performance. For our production environment, we utilize Zesty's manual BTRFS feature in which an approval request is sent to our client whenever there is a requirement to merge or detach EBS volume.
As close to "free money" as I've ever gotten.
What do you like best about the product?
Zesty saves us hundreds of thousands of dollars per year, with almost zero downside. We get all the cost savings of reserved instances with none of the lock-in or upfront payment.
I recommend it to anyone who spends significant money on EC2.
I recommend it to anyone who spends significant money on EC2.
What do you dislike about the product?
UI could use some love. I mostly interact with Zesty via the AWS console anyway, so this hasn't mattered very much.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Reducing AWS spend, automating management of reserved instances
Easy to use and beneficial service
What do you like best about the product?
The cost-saving and the ease of deploying the service
What do you dislike about the product?
I had some problems with billing, and the dashboard is sometimes not self explanatory (although not in the important parts)
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Reduce EC2 cost without committing for anything as a small startup is great
After making the right adjustments, the service works and provides great value.
What do you like best about the product?
Almost complete hands-off RI management platform. When utilized, can provide an average of 50% savings on EC2 costs.
What do you dislike about the product?
Need to pay attention when using new/uncommon instance types since the algorithm won't cover them.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
RI management and maximize savings for steady workloads. Not only does it help you by taking off the burden of managing RI's on your own, but it also gets better savings% by getting the most valuable RI plan without the constrain of long term commitment to a specific instance type or family.
Great product !
