Featured Reviews

Isaac Ogbonnaya - PeerSpot reviewer
Cybersecurity Consultant at Nnamdi Azikiwe University
Attack paths have become visible and cost control is strong but application monitoring still needs work
In my opinion, the best feature of CloudSphere is the attack path analysis, which really helps me to understand how the path works, the misconfigurations, the vulnerabilities, and how they chain together to demonstrate the attack path system. The cost management feature in CloudSphere really helps me so much; it helps me to know the cost visibility, identify the unused resources, eliminate waste, and also helps me in my spending by service across my team and in my overall environment. Using CloudSphere for three years has really helped me tighten my CI/CD pipelines and also my risk-based analytics, understand my attack pathways, the vulnerabilities, and the misconfigurations in my system. CloudSphere's predictive insight really helps me to dictate attack pathway analysis, assisting in mitigating any infrastructure challenges. CloudSphere really helps me with cloud visibility, risk identification, asset discovery, and attack path analysis; they are doing very well in the market right now compared to other software.
Srinivas Rayudu  - PeerSpot reviewer
Director at Zensa Technologies
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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"For the customers I work with, it provides flexibility as far as storage is concerned, so it's security and access."
"What I like best about CloudSphere is that it has a lot of beneficial features, and it has a single pane for managing multi-cloud environments, which I find very helpful, and it's the main benefit you can get from CloudSphere."
"The scalability of the solution is a godsend."
"We do not need to install any appliances or any agents."
"Provides multiple kinds of services for managing the clouds of multiple customers."
"CloudSphere is a good solution that works well and can integrate with multiple clouds and manage all our customers."
"CloudSphere is very mature and very effective."
"When I started using CloudSphere, it wasn't mature, and it had multiple issues. For example, my team experienced server issues while using the solution, but recently, I noticed how much CloudSphere has improved. There used to be some latency issues with CloudSphere. It even gave error messages in the past when you select an option such as "the web server is not responding", but it has improved a lot, and now I don't get any errors from CloudSphere. What I like best about CloudSphere is that it has a lot of beneficial features, and it has a single pane for managing multi-cloud environments, which I find very helpful, and it's the main benefit you can get from CloudSphere."
"I think Zesty is a really useful tool, it is really quick, it is really powerful, they are always improving it, and the customer service is flawless."
"From a metrics perspective, Zesty reduced our Kubernetes infrastructure spend by about 24% in the first six months, we also cut wasted storage costs by roughly 18% and improved saving plan utilization by around 12%, and on the operational side, we saved roughly 40 to 50 hours a month in manual cloud cost tuning."
"The turnkey aspect of Zesty is very valuable."
"Zesty has positively impacted our organization by providing a good return on investment, with a total reported percentage of savings around 40 to 50%."
"One of the reasons we decided to onboard Zesty was that it started supporting Windows instances."
 

Cons

"When we start the scanning of, for example, 500 servers, it will not handle the scan. We need to differentiate the jobs - for example, one job for 100 servers, a second job for another 100 servers, et cetera."
"CloudSphere is not keeping up with the pace of the cloud and there are a number of services that can't be deployed using CloudSphere."
"One of the cons of this product is that it will not discover all the applications running."
"The main issue I experienced from CloudSphere was recently resolved, but an area for improvement in the solution is that it lacks the functionality of migrating resources from one public cloud to another."
"The solution must have a single management console for the resources and VMs."
"The next feature I would like to have full disclosure of what's being done with the data."
"The main issue I experienced from CloudSphere was recently resolved, but an area for improvement in the solution is that it lacks the functionality of migrating resources from one public cloud to another. If CloudSphere could provide that functionality, that would be very beneficial to users and companies."
"In terms of areas with room for improvement, I find the management area, the application-focused management area, the end-to-end application visibility, the integration of a direct CI/CD pipeline for developers, and the real-time monitoring and fast response have room for enhancement."
"There are different resource types that we would like to leverage and get reserved instances for, such as RDS instances."
"I would like to get RDS-reserved instances that I could buy and sell, but that's a limitation on AWS."
"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."
"The biggest area for improvement is still reporting depth."
"It would be really useful if Zesty had more code snippets that were easy to use, an easier library instead of their documentation, and something that provided an automated finish to insert code so it could give you code hints."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is very expensive."
"It depends on how that model will be used. It might be anywhere between $4 and $15 per license per month. It’s less expensive than other options."
"The solution’s pricing is reasonable."
