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.

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."
"The ability to basically create any type of flow I want to, go and get the root cause, and to control workflow without people having to know everything that needs to be done."
"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."
"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."
"Time savings with automation. We've gone from weeks to deploy systems to minutes."
"The ease of use is most valuable."
"The centralization of the administration is what's most valuable for us."
"It has made the implementation of our IT software policies faster."
"The most valuable feature is the ability to create a deployment process visually and to see that process executing in real time, step by step, with access to log files and with a click of a button."
"The most valuable functionality is the ability to define the deployment process, schedule the deployment and automatically execute the deployments to different environments."
"Stable solution that's good for automating the CI/CD pipeline: from development to production."
"Our organization has already improved by quite a bit by taking out so much manual intervention from multiple people doing the deployments."
"The solution handles complex deployments very efficiently."
"Coming from where we were and getting to where we are was just never could have been done without uDeploy and it's just incredibly powerful for us."
"Automated deployment forces the organization to standardize runtimes, development output and handling of platform provisioning."
"Getting the deployments automated adds a lot of value."
 

Cons

"Only the tool's support can be a drawback where improvements are needed."
"It takes a lot of resources to implement and support it, which is expensive."
"If you're running it in a Windows environment, you're tied to the inefficiency and quirkiness of Windows."
"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."
"The one feature that would be useful for us would be integration of more automation with other solutions."
"In order for our customers to have a deeper integration of Operations Orchestration, it needs to be offered with more cloud options, whether that's public or private or hybrid."
"However, if we need help with a problem on our own, it's difficult to get the right support."
"Faster integration with different applications."
"More out of the box plugins are required though good number are avaialble at the moment."
"I would like to have the agent up and running at all times, as opposed to only while it is in the DevOps pipeline."
"The resource tree is pretty bulky and slow; making a change to the resource tree manually is pretty difficult when size increases."
"The interface allows access in a number of ways but that can be confusing."
"Our organization has also tried other CI/CD tools. There are areas where this tool has been lacking, which is why alternatives are being looked into."
"WebSphere deployments, for some reason, don’t work out-of-the-box."
"Its reliability has been a little suspect, and one of our frustrations has been that it's taken them some time to focus on fixing that problem."
"Full blown support for repositories such a SonaType Nexus would be better than having to deploy an agent to watch particular filesystem paths."
 

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."
"The cost of the solution is high but it offers great ROI."
"The licensing fees for this solution are based on the number of servers that are being deployed and the number of agents that you have."
"Considering COVID-19, the price is too high."

Questions from the Community

What is your experience regarding pricing and costs for Operations Orchestration?
The pricing is medium, and the automation helps in cost and time savings, resulting in substantial value for money.
What needs improvement with Operations Orchestration?
I would prefer the addition of ready-made workflows for common scenarios such as Oracle database switchovers or Exchange server scenarios. This would save time by not starting from scratch each time.
What advice do you have for others considering Operations Orchestration?
This tool serves as a central management hub, allowing seamless control of various IT processes via one console. I rate this solution eight out of ten.
