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

"The community is very powerful, with extensive knowledge bases available."

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

"It has reduced the time taken to go to market, and 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."

"It's very stable. If you ask me for the success rate metrics, it's more than 90% for both."

"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."

"This tool addresses all our disparate capabilities, bringing all those systems together, so we have been able to orchestrate per product and tie those things together to automate processes that were manual in the past, allowing us to turn around systems a lot quicker and in a repeatable way."

"Four years ago, we created a new department for automation, and today the organization has a lot of trust in us and we are placed in each strategic architecture, everybody knows us, trusts us, and is happy to work with us, and we are problem solvers and the innovation robo team."

"It is easier to manage all the servers, and you can automate processes at one time for all these types of servers, which is very useful."

More OpenText Operations Orchestration pros

"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 data visualization is good."

"Great with IT processes and business processes."

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

"It is a very stable product, highly affordable."

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

"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."

More ServiceNow Orchestration pros

Cons

"It takes a lot of resources to implement and support it, which is expensive."

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

"The one feature that would be useful for us would be integration of more automation with other solutions."

"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."

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

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

"In order for our customers to have a deeper integration of Operations Orchestration, it needs to be offered with more cloud options, whether that's public or private or hybrid."

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

More OpenText Operations Orchestration cons

"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."

"There can be gaps in integration."

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

"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."

"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."

"The deployment requires awareness among the project staff."

"I would like a user experience module to be added."

More ServiceNow Orchestration cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

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

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

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

"Pricing is custom to every customer."

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

"It is not very expensive."
