Solution Consultant at a tech services company
Provides a reduction of headcount and run through time
From my point of view, we need clearer, more open RPSs. As an example, they need to go forward with risk RPSs. There needs to be features with more direction towards microservices, so we can have more modules which are usable. Over time, the whole Automic engine will be more complex as it is now. It will become harder to operate. Therefore, I don't like to see too many features in one engine, like more modules with options. 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.

Has helped orchestrate processes and integrate workflows across cloud environments
I recommend ServiceNow Orchestration for larger companies because they have the capability to manage complex environments where it performs better. I promote low-code solutions for these implementations. I don't currently have an idea regarding the pre-built integrations of ServiceNow Orchestration, but I plan to check my area to determine what added value it can bring. I would rate this solution a nine overall.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"If I have a higher workload with smaller machines, it is easy to increase everything."
"From our clients, "We have reduced headcounts since the beginning by around 30 to 40 percent." and "We are much faster using the service orchestration and saving by a factor of 10 or more."
"Jobs are planned automatically to eliminate the need to plan them manually. It also saves us effort because there is no need to create job objects manually."
"Overall, the product itself is a 10 out of 10."
"It provides a simple reduction of headcount and also a reduction of run through time."
"The product is stable. This is the reason that we are using Automic, in some cases, because of its stability and features."
"It has competitive AI capabilities."
"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."
"Great with IT processes and business processes."
"It's scalable."
"The iTerm suite is also crucial for visibility and optimization."
"The automation ServiceNow has provided saves us a lot of time and resources."
"The data visualization is good."
"The product has a flexible interface for development."
 

Cons

"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."
"In the last two years or so, Automic has not invested as much in the product as we would have expected."
"Technical support was okay. The support needs to improve their knowledge."
"The connectors need to be updated because certain connectors for third-party tools are not up to date, and our customers are having problems synchronizing data with some of these tools."
"I would like a user experience module to be added."
"The flow rate for releases and updates is very, very slow and does not meet customers' objectives for scalability."
"Frequent upgrades may negatively impact the performance of instances. Therefore, for now, I don't recommend any additional upgrades."
"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."
"The automatic remediation needs enhancement, particularly integrating ServiceNow with tools like SolarWinds and Logic Monitor. It is functional, but it needs improvement."
"There is still room for more integrations. Or, it would be nice to bundle multiple products together rather than selling everything as a model as that turns out to be a bit costly."
"We have found some gaps in integration because all of our customers require niche tools."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"From our clients, "We have reduced headcounts since the beginning by around 30 to 40 percent." and "We are much faster using the service orchestration and saving by a factor of 10 or more.""
"This is an expensive product, but it is the best in the market considering the features and lack of competitors."
"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."
"It is not very expensive."
"In terms of price, this solution is at the higher end of what you'll find."
"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."
"Pricing is custom to every customer."
"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."
"The solution is costly and orchestrations are very expensive."
