Robust cloud model support and offers competitive pricing with a pay-per-use model
This solution has a robust cloud model, which it supports, and the pricing is also very competitive in terms of pay-per-use. Right now, it seems like ACI is winning a bit in terms of its pricing model. And then, this solution's time to market. So they are generally the first ones to deploy any regulatory changes.
Dan Campeanu - PeerSpot reviewer
Automates tasks and manages multiple servers from a central location
The initial setup was quite complex. It required careful preparation of installation steps, as many tasks were not automated as expected. Special attention was needed to prepare groups, users, and permissions at each step to ensure a smooth setup process. Please do so accurately to avoid having to start over. Challenges encountered during deployment included issues with installation and configuration and difficulties detecting machines and executing tasks as expected. Some solutions were found through trial and error during installation, while others were discovered through recommendations from other users. Despite these challenges, the deployment and rollout of Orchestrator took approximately one and a half months to ensure proper functionality.
