Zesty Reviews & Product Details

Service was easy to set up and works exactly as expected - saving us 50% on our AWS EC2 bill with no downside. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing, it works exactly as expected and we've had no issues. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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.

* The support is excellent. They're very transparent about what they can and can't do to.

* they provide additional support for things they can't do

* compared to competitors, it frees my hand since it is a one-time setup, and I never need to look at it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Nothing to dislike per se, but I wish for more product improvements like Kubernetes visibility and a higher level of visibility into spending overall. Of course, the ability to save on other services as well Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I like most about Zesty is that their customer service is AMAZING. They are always readily available and responsive. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We're missing functionality for RDS instances, but I know Zesty is currently working on that. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The fast results that the product gives you.

Easy to set it up, very helpful and responsive team. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Zesty can only save cost on EC2 RI, can that be extended to other AWS services? Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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 Zesty, and I have no issues using it for optimizing EBS volumes attached to our AWS EC2 instances. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
