Need broader cloud savings but have reduced compute costs and extended financial runway
I have found the integration very seamless and easy. The best features North Cloud offers are easy onboarding integration and a non-invasive business model. I find the easy onboarding integration and non-invasive business model to be the best features because we were able to reduce spend on our AWS bill without using any internal employee hours and without worrying about any complicated account changes.

Service mesh has simplified microservice security and has improved deployment speed
Tetrate Istio Subscription has a lot of features, and the support is also quite good. At the moment, I cannot think of any specific improvements needed because they are providing most of the features; however, there is always room for improvement. I choose 8 out of 10 because they are already a good product providing most of the features. There are times that, while the support is quite good, sometimes it gets a bit complex. Istio is a quite complex system, and the UI is okay. They are improving, but I think there can be some room for improvement in the UI and the overall platform. Regarding Tetrate Istio Subscription's AI capabilities, I think the AI feature is up to the mark. The guardrails are good, and I would not say it is 100% accurate; there are times where they do hallucinate, which is part and parcel of the AI capabilities we use. They are still improving in that area. I would not say Tetrate Istio Subscription is 100% correct; they do hallucinate sometimes, but they are really helpful. It is better than just manually seeing things. Using their AI capabilities, we can leverage that, and sometimes it makes things faster as well.
