Cons
"In the last two years or so, Automic has not invested as much in the product as we would have expected.""What I am missing today is robotics. If Automic would like to stay as one of the biggest automation engines on the market, they have to find an option with a robotics solution."

"I had trouble with high availability deployment in my environment.""The solution's rSeries has been made free, and iSeries should be made free as well.""Sometimes the solution does not work.""They could use YAML or JSON if they wanted to make it a little bit easier for us.""F5 BIG-IQ should improve by being a complete certificate management solution because currently, it is only for Venafi. Other automation platforms, should be added.""Integration with VAS is something that they need to work on.""There are a lot of scripts available on the internet for people who know how to use them, but with a graphical interface, it would be easier for new users.""The solution should improve pricing. It's expensive in comparison to other American solutions."

    Overview

    Service orchestration enables organizations to extract the most value from their investments in people and technology. Because time spent waiting for a service request means wasted money and lost opportunity.

    Service orchestration can intelligently automate the sometimes complex sequence of tasks required to deliver a service. Whether those tasks need to be executed on-premises or in the cloud, on virtual or physical systems, or even using leading-edge technologies like microservices or containers, service orchestration ensures that those tasks are executed accurately and efficiently. This maximizes productivity and enables businesses to move at digital speeds.
