"The ability to connect to websites and pull data is the solution's most valuable feature."
"The licensing of the product is very good. You only need to license it once and then you have it forever."
"We have found the pricing to be very reasonable."
"We use it for specific cases, mainly secure file transfers, which are vital for us. And it works for us."
"The pricing is excellent. I would give them perfect marks in that regard."
"The most valuable feature is the drag-and-drop interface, which is very Windows-like."
"The solution is continuously adding more integrations to help with workflows and bot and task creation."
"The initial setup is pretty straightforward. It's not complex at all."
"The most valuable features of the solution are its grouping scripts and event focus."
"The correlation feature is the most used feature. It allows you to correlate events from different sources and have more meaningful events."
"It allows us to build dashboards for individual parts of the business. Our team members appreciate that they can just get a view of their part of the world without having to worry about anyone else's."
"The event correlation is the most valuable aspect of the solution."
"The Performance Manager provides great insight into our systems' performance."
"From our monitoring perspective or from a visibility perspective, HPE UCMDB is a must have. It's an amazing piece of software."
"It has greatly reduced the number and duration of outages as support teams are notified immediately when something goes wrong or even before something breaks."
"We really need a free development environment for customers. Building and testing automation on production isn't ideal."
"It's possible that they could use a stronger community for seeking guidance and help."
"The documentation for errors needs improvement as many of the error messages we receive are very vague."
"The intelligent automation feature could be improved. It's interesting because it's simple, but the automation quality isn't always good. It's easy to use, but sometimes you need to make a slight improvement to the automation, and that's not so easy."
"The OCR for Hebrew text needs to be improved."
"Sometimes when we communicate with the ERP system and there is an issue, we are not always aware of the specifics of Automate and the source of the problem."
"The solution has a very weak knowledge base."
"The workflow for variables could be better. The input and output of task-level variables could be made a little clearer in terms of passing those around from one task to another upon success, etc. Things like that could be a little easier potentially."
"We are waiting for quicker release cycles. Also containerized upgrade, so that you don't have to bring a system entirely down to make a minor upgrade, in fact, or a minor patch."
"Installing and upgrading the HPOM and Operations Agent software is not always easy and the process can be quite fragile. Once it is running, it is very quick and stable, but an upgrade can quite easily break something or terminate unexpectedly."
"The service takes a very long time to start and it requires a lot of resources."
"In a future release, we would like an improved upgrade process. When you upgrade it now, it first uninstalls everything and then reinstalls all the packages, which means any customization that you've done in the directories on the surface disappears."
"The initial setup is a little bit complex."
"The price is quite expensive, and because of this, we may try another solution."
"pology-based event correlation does not work well with NNM events."
"Remove the dependency of Java technology. This is a feature used for admin purposes to update the modeling."
