Orchestry Reviews & Product Details

The best thing about Orchestry is that it makes our internal request process of new collaboration spaces much simplified. Users no longer have to remember the technical details they just choose one of the workspaces types in an understandable list. The automated assignment of relevant tags and metadata to new sites was also of great value to the future search and audit. Finally, the guided archiving functionality helps us to cleanly close down a completed client site rather than have the old site linger indefinitely. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For us to fully customize the more advanced features of our templates the learning curve was quite steep in the beginning this requires time commitment. I would like to see more detail in reporting, in particular, on guest user activity across all provisioned sites. It would be helpful to have a more visual/intuitive way of defining complex, multi stage approval workflows within the interface Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Orchestry has done wonderfully well with standardizing cross-departmental communication flows. The visual workflow builder is simple to use to map the complicated processes that previously required a never-ending email chain. I especially like its approval features, whereby the work does not get lost in case the team members are absent. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The preliminary integrations with our more niche software were also set up a little longer than we had expected. I also hope that more templates of international regulatory processes are pre-built since we tend to create them by ourselves. The mobile application may also be more user-friendly in terms of a fast status check. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Orchestry helped us reduce our time to provision new Teams by over 90%, while increasing standardization across the board. The end user experience for requesting new sites, as well as regular workspace reviews is quite intuitive, and offers great value. Orchestry enabled IT to go from being the functional owner of all sites to being just the technical owner, allowing data owners to manage their own workspace in a convenient, secure way.

Installation was super easy, and we were able to get rolling right away and start realizing the benefits, as well as see some of our existing gaps through their recommendations.

Our support experience has been great as well, everyone we've met on the team has been knowledgable and friendly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I do wish you could add private channels and memberships to an initial request. You can use a live template to initially provision private channels, but the site owner would then need to go and add users to those groups after the site finishes provisioning.

My biggest problem though? That a lot of our infra was setup before orchestry, and now I need to spend some time migrating those to be compliant with our new setup! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Orchestry provides the insights and the ability to ensure that your SharePoint Online and MIcrosoft Teams informtion environment is governed and secure whilst also providing a very simple interface for the provisioning of sites. It is a great tool especially for those that dont have adminsitrative level permissions to the administration portals for Microsoft 365. It is a must for Records and Information Managers who are tasked with owning and managing SharePoint Online and Microsoft Teams. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I have not seen a downside to this product. Having been involved in many digital transformation projects, this tool is a game changer for those really wanting to govern thier information environments. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We find that Orchestry truly comes in hand in providing structure to our project lifecycle management. We especially appreciate the ways in which it allows a consistent organization of any new research project, which reduces the confusion inside the company greatly. It also makes it a breeze to safely handle external contractors on a per project level which, previously, was a real pain. And most importantly it assists us in streamlining the offboarding of our completed project sites, keeping our tenant clean. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We have seen that it can allow being more flexible with fine tuning specific notification settings of workspace owners, at times the default cadence is a bit too much. Moreover, though very useful, search functionality in Orchestry itself of previous requests of workspaces might be extended to better handle very old requests. Lastly, we needed to do a bit of custom API work to work in with our own project planning tool because there was no out of the box direct connector. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like it because it offers great capabilities, especially for implementing governance without hindering preservation. I love it. Also, our Microsoft 365 environment was a hub of duplicate and broken teams, and all the changes since Orchestry arrival have been for the better. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The only downside for me is that the initial setup takes a lot of effort. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I appreciate having everything centralized for governance, automation, and the creation of templated workspaces. This is a major advantage, as it means we no longer need to rely on PowerShell scripts for routine tasks, which I find to be a significant improvement. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What I didn’t like as much was the interface. I also wish the reports would load more quickly. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I liked their self-service portal, which works well for new teams for different research projects, because this really solves our end-user problems, and I really loved the pre-designed templates and the fact that it offers a nice, modern user interface. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Initial setup can e a bit tricky, and the learning curve for new users needs to be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

As a system administrator in the education sector, I like that it simplifies our lives for our teachers and students, and I love being able to create standardized templates for each class or project. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The implementation process was not as easy as we thought. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I like that it simplifies SharePoint administration with great team features, plus its super intuitive and saves a lot of time. I also love the interface, its clear and easy to understand. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

For now I can say that it works well but the learning curve is very steep and I think it can be improved. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
