VP of Product Management

Zesty is thrilled to announce the launch of Zesty Insights.

Zesty Insights offers prescriptive recommendations for full utilization of your cloud resources and immediate cost reduction. The new offering prioritizes recommendations by impact, allowing users to concentrate efficiently on tasks that yield the highest savings possible. Read on to discover the challenges of manual usage and cost optimization and how Zesty Insights can help.

Why did we build Insights?

Managing cloud costs efficiently is a complex and time-consuming task. Getting full visibility into usage patterns and understanding the what, why, how, and when of cloud spend requires engineering time and expertise. This task is often de-prioritized because engineers must focus on new product development and innovation, which are crucial for the organization’s revenue and growth.

However, with the growing awareness of FinOps, organizations are realizing that cloud optimization can also generate significant savings. Management buy-ins are increasingly being sought to implement cost optimization from the ground up. This shift puts engineers in a tough spot, as they must balance performance with cost optimization. If these tasks go unnoticed, the organization risks overspending and accumulating cloud waste.

These challenges underscore the need for recommendations to guide where to focus and what actions to take to maximize savings. Engineers need robust support for usage optimization. Having the right tools to assist in these tasks can save both time and money by enabling the immediate implementation of cost-saving actions.
