Centralized governance has simplified multi-cloud management and improves compliance monitoring
Cloud8 Platform does not have a lot of improvement areas, but I have a positive experience with it, and one area of improvement would be to provide more customizable dashboards and reporting options so teams can tailor the platform to their specific operational needs. I would also like to see more AI-driven recommendations for cost optimization, security, and compliance, along with deeper integrations with more DevOps and ITSM tools. As an example, I would like to see deeper integrations with tools such as Jira, ServiceNow, GitHub, Azure DevOps, and Slack. It would be useful if Cloud8 Platform could automate ticket creation and remediation workflows when it detects compliance or configuration issues. Additionally, expanding APIs and providing more out-of-the-box automation templates would make it easier to integrate Cloud8 Platform into existing DevOps workflows and reduce manual effort.

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.
