MD Moshe D. Data Platform Lead Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 10/26/2025 "Effortless Databricks Cost Savings with Zipher" 5/5 What do you like best about Zipher? What I appreciate most about Zipher is how easy it is to see tangible results. In my role, I was deeply involved in optimizing cloud costs and searching for tools that could help lower our expenses with both cloud providers and vendors. Zipher’s solution was not only straightforward to integrate, requiring minimal adjustments on our end, but it also delivered a significant impact on our costs. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Zipher? The main drawback of Zipher is that its cost reduction features are limited to just one area of Databricks—specifically, jobs—while the other aspects are not addressed and require other tools. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Zipher solving and how is that benefiting you? We faced a persistent challenge with the rising costs of Databricks, which became increasingly difficult to control as our services expanded beyond just R&D to the entire company. Previously, we had to manually review each job and adjust its specifications to keep expenses down. However, as the number of jobs grew, we could only focus on the most critical ones, leaving many others unchecked. This situation also required us to periodically launch manual cost-saving initiatives, which often took priority over developing new business features. Since implementing Zipher, I no longer need to worry about managing Databricks costs in this way. The process is now fully autonomous, from the creation of a job to its completion, and we started seeing results within about two weeks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

CTO Small-Business (50 or fewer emp.) 7/29/2026 "Truly Hands-Off: Cut Our Databricks Bill Without Touching Code" 5/5 What do you like best about Zipher? Truly hands-off. We cut our Databricks bill without having to touch any code. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Zipher? Honestly not much. UI could look a bit cleaner, but that's it. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Zipher solving and how is that benefiting you? It killed our manual cluster tuning and dropped our cloud spend.

Deputy CEO Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 12/7/2025 "More Effective Autoscaler = lower costs and lower failure rates" 5/5 What do you like best about Zipher? The spark-aware autoscaler is significantly less wasteful than the native autoscaler, as it takes into account the context of our job runs and avoids unnecessary scaling. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Zipher? I believe there is potential to further enhance efficiency by incorporating code optimization, rather than focusing solely on job optimization. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Zipher solving and how is that benefiting you? The autoscaling feature in Databricks functions as intended, but I often find it too aggressive when scaling up. This results in considerable compute waste and increasing costs. In contrast, Zipher’s autoscaler is far more efficient, minimizing waste while still making sure we always have the appropriate amount of compute resources. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Senior Data Engineer Mid-Market (51-1000 emp.) 11/3/2025 "Zipher Delivers Seamless Cost Optimization for Databricks Workloads" 5/5 What do you like best about Zipher? Zipher has consistently delivered measurable Databricks cost efficiencies while improving workload stability. It optimized cluster autoscaling by reducing unnecessary node churn and maintaining a steady balance between on-demand and spot capacity. We saw improved DBU utilization across interactive and job clusters, along with more predictable spend and faster job execution times which leads to reduce our oveall compute cost. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Zipher? Zipher’s automated optimization works intelligently behind the scenes, analyzing historical Databricks workloads and adjusting resources based on learned patterns. Since much of this logic is abstracted, we don’t always see how decisions are made, but the hands-off experience has been smooth and effective. More visibility into the autoscaling logic would make it even easier to understand and trust the optimizations as they happen. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Zipher solving and how is that benefiting you? Zipher helped stabilize Databricks autoscaling in our dynamic workloads, reducing node churn and improving both performance and cost efficiency. Overall, it has delivered faster runtimes and meaningful cost savings with minimal oversight. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Show More Validated ReviewerSource: Organic TT Tzur T. Staff Data Engineer Enterprise (\> 1000 emp.) 10/14/2025 "Zipher Delivers Cost Savings and Stability with Minimal Maintenance" 4.5/5 What do you like best about Zipher? Zipher performs exactly as promised, providing notable cost savings and enhancing job performance. It helped stabilize our autoscaler by minimizing fluctuations in the cluster node configuration. After a straightforward setup, the platform needs very little ongoing attention, and the support team has been consistently responsive and pleasant to work with. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about Zipher? The primary downside is the absence of built-in dashboards and metrics, which I suspect is due to us being early adopters who have not yet upgraded. However, since we already had adequate monitoring systems to verify the tool's effectiveness, we did not see a reason to proceed with an upgrade. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is Zipher solving and how is that benefiting you? Zipher has addressed our Databricks cluster management challenges, which stemmed from frequent changes in data velocity. In the past, the native autoscaler had difficulty adapting to these fluctuations, leading to excessive node shuffling. This not only extended job durations but also increased our overall costs. With Zipher, learned patterns are now used to automatically configure the cluster, which has greatly minimized node shuffle. As a result, we experience faster execution times and substantial cost savings. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
