Pros
"The product is good functionality-wise. I am impressed with the tool's flexibility in customization.""It's very stable. If you ask me for the success rate metrics, it's more than 90% for both.""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 most valuable feature is workflow automation.""The solution's ability to template and easily implement are the most valuable features. It offers good replication as well.""The most valuable feature is that it's simple and very ergonomic to use the product compared to other virtualizing product. Out of Microsoft, Red Hat, and IBM, we found VMware to be the best one.""The stability of the product is very good.""In regards to the workflows, the fact that we can actually have a full dashboard library of all the existing workflows on this is great. We can see all the workflows and what all the actions do and can work with scripts.""The hardware abstraction layer, being able to make the VMs portable when moving to a different platform or over a WAN.""Technical support is helpful.""The most valuable feature is affinity rules."

Cons
"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 price is an area that should be addressed because the price is high.""The tool's UI needs to be improved. It needs to have better administration features in future releases."

More OpenText Operations Orchestration Cons →

"I would like to see a greater ability to do mobile administration.""Many times, customers' licenses are not used because the client is not aware of the features and the product benefits. When somebody is buying a product, they just do a default configuration.""It is practically difficult at this stage to really comment on the improvisations of V central. But more tech events and PoC cases would help the EA to design better solutions and utilization.""Storage has room for improvement. It's a big problem for our solution. The interface also needs improvement, it should be simplified.""It is too expensive. One of the main issues is the price.""This solution needs to have more built-in workflows.""The cost of the solution is high.""There can be compatibility issues."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "I do not have experience with the pricing or licensing of the product."
  • "The cost is very high compared to anything else available."
  • More OpenText Operations Orchestration Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "Our licensing is on a yearly basis. We pay for the license and then we pay the support every year."
  • "This solution is expensive and the licensing is more attractive for Haveri."
  • "The price is reasonable, and one of the reasons that this product was selected."
  • "We provide the VMware solution to our clients, for which they pay a perpetual license."
  • "The concept of hyper-convergence is smart. I don't know if it can be applied with less cost to be more affordable for small or medium-sized companies. The cost is a very important factor for it. We are currently depending on SAN storage. However, the hyper-converged solutions are depending on the storage within the hosts, such as vSAN in the VMware. It is a smart solution."
  • "We pay a yearly fee, based on our entries."
  • "The licensing module is somewhat complex. Calculating the cost is complicated. Many of our clients are unclear about the billing system and the traffic metering."
  • "The licensing cost is manageable because they have different versions available, standard, essential, and advanced."
