Customer support and intuitive platform enhance cloud maintenance capabilities
Actually, going with the point that they have been in touch with us frequently, it has been great since we have been able to provide feedback to them to implement features that they didn't have before, and they have implemented them for us. Specifically, they didn't have a plan for only databases, and we told them that we only needed databases, so they created web plans for us to have databases only implemented in our organization. Also, we discussed with them that we wanted to have other clouds implemented with us, and they have been very helpful, going step by step in solving that issue.

Managing complex onboarding has been challenging but automated cost optimization delivers strong savings
Zesty is a good solution; however, the learning curve can be complex for new users without a solid tech background, posing a challenge in training and the initial setup process. I would deduct one point for this aspect since everything else is fine. A specific example of where the learning curve caused issues is when we introduced Zesty to our new development team, which struggled to understand the platform while working on a project related to AI and ML. Our system architects explained how Zesty works, but I believe a more proactive approach to training and foundational data could help teams be more self-sufficient and less reliant on internal support.
