Increases productivity with automation and robust orchestration capabilities

The community is very powerful, with extensive knowledge bases available. There are ready-made workflows, integration with other products, a nice user interface, and reporting. The tool is flexible, agent-based or agentless. It allows significant automation and has robust orchestration and reporting capabilities. It is easy to configure and use, leading to increased efficiency across our IT processes.

Consultant at a comms service provider with 1,001-5,000 employees

Has helped orchestrate processes and integrate workflows across cloud environments

I recommend ServiceNow Orchestration for larger companies because they have the capability to manage complex environments where it performs better. I promote low-code solutions for these implementations. I don't currently have an idea regarding the pre-built integrations of ServiceNow Orchestration, but I plan to check my area to determine what added value it can bring. I would rate this solution a nine overall.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It has made the implementation of our IT software policies faster."

"This solution enables the automation of workflow."

"The automation, hands down, is the future of our company and the direction we're going in, letting us deploy servers in 15 minutes instead of two weeks and even embed monitoring into that same automated service for a huge benefit."

"The centralization of the administration is what's most valuable for us."

"The ability to basically create any type of flow I want to, go and get the root cause, and to control workflow without people having to know everything that needs to be done."

"Time savings with automation. We've gone from weeks to deploy systems to minutes."

"It has reduced the time taken to go to market. In the past, we were struggling with building these integrations, but now the process has sped up and there is an added advantage of quick delivery. In addition, it is an agent-less solution, which provides more flexibility in terms of multiple options."

"It’s saved 100’s of man hours monthly."

More OpenText Operations Orchestration pros

"It's probably the best product out there."

"I use it to orchestrate processes and integration features to gather and update data during specified timeframes or exchange data in real-time when changes occur based on certain criteria."

"This is a user-friendly solution where scripts can be made with ease, and there are many integration options, including Microsoft products, which gives the product a competitive edge."

"I would definitely recommend Orchestration if you're already on the ServiceNow platform."

"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."

"It's scalable."

"Employee onboarding, de-boarding, and other service-provision features make the process easier and it saves us a lot of time."

More ServiceNow Orchestration pros

Cons

"Faster integration with different applications."

"The tool's UI needs to be improved. It needs to have better administration features in future releases."

"There were a lot of scalability issues that we initially faced; whenever I tried to deploy 100-200 endpoints, it became a huge challenge."

"There were a lot of scalability issues that we initially faced. Whenever I tried to deploy 100-200 endpoints, it became a huge challenge. We had to actually start using other tools like Tivoli Endpoint Management in order to patch the issues."

"The setup is a little bit complex, as the first time we needed some help from HPE support, but afterwards on repeating the process it became easier."

"The price is an area that should be addressed because the price is high."

"If you're running it in a Windows environment, you're tied to the inefficiency and quirkiness of Windows."

"Setup is quite complex, but it is a complex product."

More OpenText Operations Orchestration cons

"It is a highly complex platform to work on."

"From my space, the only thing that I can say is the spinning up with Google Cloud Services."

"The flow rate for releases and updates is very, very slow and does not meet customers' objectives for scalability."

"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."

"If I compare the interface of ServiceNow Orchestration with Boomi, it is easier to use Boomi than ServiceNow Orchestration."

"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."

"The automatic remediation needs enhancement, particularly integrating ServiceNow with tools like SolarWinds and Logic Monitor. It is functional, but it needs improvement."

"Frequent upgrades may negatively impact the performance of instances. Therefore, for now, I don't recommend any additional upgrades."

More ServiceNow Orchestration cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost is very high compared to anything else available."

"I do not have experience with the pricing or licensing of the product."

"The tool is expensive. I rate the tool a six if one is cheap and ten is very expensive."

"This is an expensive product, but it is the best in the market considering the features and lack of competitors."

"The solution is costly and orchestrations are very expensive."

"It is quite expensive because we've had some customers come back and say it's quite pricey because in order for them to go ahead with Orchestration, they must have already been paying for Discovery, service mapping, and a few other things."

"Pricing is custom to every customer."

"It is not very expensive."

"The cost of the solution is based on the number of plugins, conductors and integrations used and is charged annually. The licensing cause has been increasing gradually which makes it difficult to access. Initially offer free features but over the time the charges rise which make it an expensive solution with limited features. Along with that, the integration issues persist and require additional middle where and internet connectivity for effective usage."

"ServiceNow doesn't give a clear cost indication. They have different contracts with different organizations and it's all about negotiation, so you don't know how they are doing at the cost level."

"In terms of price, this solution is at the higher end of what you'll find."
