  The dynamics of the Universe is analyzed using an exponential function for
the dark energy equation of state, known as Gong-Zhang parameterization. The
phase space of the free parameters presented in the model is constrained using
Cosmic Microwave Background radiation, Cosmic Chronometers, modulus distance
from Hydrogen II Galaxies, Type Ia Supernovae and measurements from Baryon
Acoustic Oscillations, together with a stronger bound from a Joint analysis.
The cosmological model is confronted with $\Lambda$CDM, observing there is a
strong evidence for $\Lambda$CDM in the Joint analysis although the exponential
model is preferred when the data are separated. Based on the Joint analysis, a
value of $\omega_0 = -1.202^{+0.027}_{-0.026}$ is found for the characteristic
parameter presented in the equation of state. Additionally, the cosmographic
parameters at current times are reported, having $q_0 =
-0.789^{+0.034}_{-0.036}$, $j_0=1.779^{+0.130}_{-0.119}$, and a transition
deceleration-acceleration redshift $z_T = 0.644^{+0.011}_{-0.012}$.
Furthermore, the age of the Universe is estimated as $t_U =
13.788^{+0.019}_{-0.019}$ Gyrs. Finally, we open a discussion if this model
could alleviate the $H_0$ and $S_8$ tensions.
