Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"This solution basically does everything that we need it to do."
"Four years ago, we created a new department for automation, and today the organization has a lot of trust in us and we are placed in each strategic architecture, everybody knows us, trusts us, and is happy to work with us, and we are problem solvers and the innovation robo team."
"OO, frankly, blows the others out of the water."
"The automation, hands down, is the future of our company and the direction we're going in, letting us deploy servers in 15 minutes instead of two weeks and even embed monitoring into that same automated service for a huge benefit."
"The product is good functionality-wise. I am impressed with the tool's flexibility in customization."
"The ease of use is most valuable."
"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."
"As an integrator of Operations Orchestration, we find that the most valuable feature is really the support that HP provides."
"Took few hours to build workflows with ready-to-use templates, so we had improved productivity."
"It’s easier, more controlled and automatized checks of the budget through this system."
"We use it a lot for creating workflows to transfer materials between plants, which is a signature part of what we do."
 

Cons

"The setup is a little bit complex, as the first time we needed some help from HPE support, but afterwards on repeating the process it became easier."
"The price is an area that should be addressed because the price is high."
"It takes a lot of resources to implement and support it, which is expensive."
"However, if we need help with a problem on our own, it's difficult to get the right support."
"If you're running it in a Windows environment, you're tied to the inefficiency and quirkiness of Windows."
"Setup is quite complex, but it is a complex product."
"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."
"Simple things are missing – being unable to easily capture flow inputs in an automated fashion is one (I shouldn’t have to write an SQL query for this)."
"This solution needs to be more customizable."
"Yes, for email notification but it could also be with company network."
"The reports for users. The reports with more details; we have to generate them by the database."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I do not have experience with the pricing or licensing of the product."
"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."

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.
