Quotes from Members

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

Pros

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

"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."

"The product is good functionality-wise. I am impressed with the tool's flexibility in customization."

"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."

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

"We use it a lot for creating workflows to transfer materials between plants, which is a signature part of what we do."

Cons

"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. We had to actually start using other tools like Tivoli Endpoint Management in order to patch the issues."

"I would prefer the addition of ready-made workflows for common scenarios such as Oracle database switchovers or Exchange server scenarios."

"Only the tool's support can be a drawback where improvements are needed."

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

"This solution needs to be more customizable."

Pricing and Cost Advice

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

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

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