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

More OpenText Operations Orchestration Pros →

"The most valuable feature is the snapshot functionality, which allows us to access previous versions of the artifacts.""The solution handles complex deployments very efficiently.""The stability is good. I haven't experienced any issues.""The most valuable functionality is the ability to define the deployment process, schedule the deployment and automatically execute the deployments to different environments.""It is very easy to make a software release. It used to take us at least a couple of hours to make a release, now we went to production with a new one last night. This new release took me five minutes.""Stable solution that's good for automating the CI/CD pipeline: from development to production."

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 →

"The technical support of the solution could definitely be improved as PMRs take long to resolve.""I would like to see more reporting for container architecture.""The scalability of this application needs improvement. Changes and variations in the application become bottlenecks as they need to be more seamless and comfortable.""I certainly would like to have a better way to pass information between deployment steps using UrbanCode Deploy because that's really difficult to do.""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 interface allows access in a number of ways but that can be confusing."
