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

"As an integrator of Operations Orchestration, we find that the most valuable feature is really the support that HP provides."
"In my environment, if I want to shut down all tools in one shot, I can create a workflow and run the workflow to shut down all tools in one go."
"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."
"It's very stable. If you ask me for the success rate metrics, it's more than 90% for both."
"The most valuable feature of this solution is the sustainability and the simplicity around the usage."
"This solution enables the automation of workflow."
"HP provides ready to use automation libraries for almost all the IT process automation tasks with no extra cost."
"It has made the implementation of our IT software policies faster."
"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. There are also many integration options, including Microsoft products, which gives the product a competitive edge."
"Great with IT processes and business processes."
"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 automation ServiceNow has provided saves us a lot of time and resources."
"There are a lot of ready to use orchestration custom packs."
"Employee onboarding, de-boarding, and other service-provision features make the process easier and it saves us a lot of time."
"The product has a flexible interface for development."
 

Cons

"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."
"From 1 – 10 – I think HP is about a 4. Support can be slow and frustrating."
"There are automation tools out there that are more unified -- network, database, servers. Operations Orchestration doesn't do everything and you need to buy other components for other tasks."
"However, if we need help with a problem on our own, it's difficult to get the right support."
"We have had some issues with memory usage, but that's something that we beefed up and made the system more robust."
"I would like to see a bit more in the UX. It needs to be a bit more up-to-date."
"The tool's UI needs to be improved. It needs to have better administration features in future releases."
"Simple things are missing – being unable to easily capture flow inputs in an automated fashion is one (I shouldn’t have to write an SQL query for this)."
"From my space, the only thing that I can say is the spinning up with Google Cloud Services."
"The deployment requires awareness among the project staff."
"It is a highly complex platform to work on."
"The only challenge I see is it requires a lot of technical expertise to implement these tools and modules and all those things."
"The connectors need to be updated because certain connectors for third-party tools are not up to date, and our customers are having problems synchronizing data with some of these tools."
"We cannot perform GUI automation using the tool."
"I would like a user experience module to be added."
"We had a few use cases where we couldn't find solutions in Orchestration and had to go with the publishers to solve them."
 

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."
"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."
"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."
"The solution is costly and orchestrations are very expensive."
"In terms of price, this solution is at the higher end of what you'll find."
"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."
"It is not very expensive."
"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."
