More CA Process Automation Pros →

"It's scalable.""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.""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.""The iTerm suite is also crucial for visibility and optimization.""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 data visualization is good.""There are a lot of ready to use orchestration custom packs."

Cons
"Somehow the product group within CA left the product dry from some regular expression functionality.""Make some of the features more open source that way developers can have more flexibility.""It needs auto-triggering of workflows based on machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI).""OCR capability should be added as a feature."

More CA Process Automation Cons →

"The deployment requires awareness among the project staff.""There can be gaps in integration.""We cannot perform GUI automation using the tool.""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.""Frequent upgrades may negatively impact the performance of instances. Therefore, for now, I don't recommend any additional upgrades.""From my space, the only thing that I can say is the spinning up with Google Cloud Services.""The flow rate for releases and updates is very, very slow and does not meet customers' objectives for scalability."

  • More CA Process Automation Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "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."
  • "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."
  • "The solution is costly and orchestrations are 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."
  • "It is not very expensive."
