What is our primary use case?
I have Milvus hosted on Zilliz Cloud and am majorly using it to manage the vector database and utilizing some of the RAG and vector features from that.
I connected Zilliz Cloud with a lot of Kubernetes clusters on Zilliz Cloud to fetch a lot of data because we have a client who wants to use CNN models to give the best result from their database. We have RAG, which is using vector embedding, and we manage everything on AWS, where some of the services are connected with Zilliz Cloud to gather everything faster.
What is most valuable?
The best feature of Zilliz Cloud is that it helps in very high-performance vector search, and it is also very scalable, with very low latency that helps provide faster results. The deployment of Milvus is very easy because it is managed there, so I did not need to take care of anything. These are the major things that I feel are very important.
Zilliz Cloud has positively impacted my organization because previously, when I was not using it, there was a little lag in the output of the search due to the lack of a proper vector search setup, and maintaining the vector search was very hard, requiring me to create a model, deploy it, and connect everything. It helped me a lot by using managed Milvus, which simplifies my management tasks.
What needs improvement?
Having more connections with all other major clouds could be helpful, and a marketplace could grow with Zilliz Cloud.
For how long have I used the solution?
I have been using Zilliz Cloud for around seven to eight months.

The customer support is also good.
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
I have not used any different solutions before Zilliz Cloud.
What was our ROI?
The biggest return on investment I have seen is in the time saved in my current scenario.
What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?
The pricing, setup cost, and licensing experience were pretty straightforward, and although I was not involved with the team, I felt it was smooth.
Which other solutions did I evaluate?
Before choosing Zilliz Cloud, I evaluated Weaviate and PineconeDB.
What other advice do I have?
If others do not have the bandwidth to manage the vector search and maintain that on the cloud, I recommend that they find it very easy to use Zilliz Cloud.
Zilliz Cloud is deployed in my organization on a public cloud.
I use AWS as my cloud provider.
I did not purchase Zilliz Cloud through the AWS Marketplace; the company directly purchased it.
