"Orchestration is commonly utilized by major corporations. The process of linking methods in ServiceNow, known as the RTS chain to parent methods, is executed seamlessly and efficiently. It's quite impressive and significant in its impact."
"The interface of the solution is very user friendly and it is easily accessible via a simple URL. This makes it easier to complete the UI based tasks but using other features require expertise in languages like Java. But along with that, there are limitation in terms of network connectivity testing and administrator faces regular challenges in conducting connectivity tests due to these limitations."
"The iTerm suite is also crucial for visibility and optimization."

"It's scalable."
"There are a lot of ready to use orchestration custom packs."

"I had trouble with high availability deployment in my environment."
"The solution should improve pricing. It's expensive in comparison to other American solutions."
"The shell, kernel, or Linux has something like a delay, especially with the Virtual Edition, when you are trying to implement it in the cloud and you want to access it remotely with web management. It would be great if they could improve their kernel. It was difficult for me, especially when I got started with BIG-IP. I was struggling to find which commands work with it. If you want to work with it, you have to be a Linux guy."
"They could use YAML or JSON if they wanted to make it a little bit easier for us."
"F5 BIG-IQ is a complex solution, and it cannot manage everything related to BIG-IPs."
"Sometimes the solution does not work."
"Integration with VAS is something that they need to work on."
"There are a lot of scripts available on the internet for people who know how to use them, but with a graphical interface, it would be easier for new users."
"There is still room for more integrations. Or, it would be nice to bundle multiple products together rather than selling everything as a model as that turns out to be a bit costly."
"I would like a user experience module to be added."
"Frequent upgrades may negatively impact the performance of instances. Therefore, for now, I don't recommend any additional upgrades."
"Efficiency of some features could be improved."
"There can be gaps in integration."
"ServiceNow Orchestration needs to improve multiple aspects in which their event monitoring system is one. The solution lacks event monitoring systems which makes them non-competitive. They need to include improvements in a similar manner that they did in Sweden."
"There should be connectors to cover at least the top industry applications, and they should be easier to configure in a plug-and-play fashion."
"From my space, the only thing that I can say is the spinning up with Google Cloud Services."
