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.

"It's probably the best product out there."

"The solution effectively automates business processes."

"It's scalable."

"I use it to orchestrate processes and integration features to gather and update data during specified timeframes or exchange data in real-time when changes occur based on certain criteria."

More ServiceNow Orchestration pros

Cons

"OCR capability should be added as a feature."

"It needs auto-triggering of workflows based on machine learning (ML) and artificial intelligence (AI)."

"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."

"The flow rate for releases and updates is very, very slow and does not meet customers' objectives for scalability."

"If I compare the interface of ServiceNow Orchestration with Boomi, it is easier to use Boomi than ServiceNow Orchestration."

"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."

"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."

"Frequent upgrades may negatively impact the performance of instances. Therefore, for now, I don't recommend any additional upgrades."

"The automatic remediation needs enhancement, particularly integrating ServiceNow with tools like SolarWinds and Logic Monitor. It is functional, but it needs improvement."

"The third-party integrations are challenging when the tools are not from ServiceNow partners. This presents issues when integrating solutions from other vendors."

"We cannot perform GUI automation using the tool."

More ServiceNow Orchestration cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It has provided ROI by auto resolving incidents or requests in the ITSM queue, improved MTTR and SLA adherence, and added value to the delivery of services and the customer experience."

"There are a lot of automation savings from any process which is repeatable."

"It is not very expensive."

"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."

"In terms of price, this solution is at the higher end of what you'll find."

"Pricing is custom to every customer."

"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."

"This is an expensive product, but it is the best in the market considering the features and lack of competitors."

"The solution is costly and orchestrations are very expensive."

"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."
