Orchestry Software Erfahrungen

Best Group Managment Tool On The Market

Kommentare: I have found Orchestry to be the best M365 Group management product available and allows organizations to bring order from chaos. The UI is clean and polished which makes training easy.

Vorteile:

Every organization need to govern and control it's Microsoft 365 Groups. These groups are the foundational building blocks of productivity but ensuring that they don't explode out of control is critical to successfully rolling out and implementing M365. Orchestry provides three key features that enhance your chance of a successful roll out. One is strong and easy to understand controls on the creation of M365 Groups. These include naming conventions, expiration and archival policies, approvals, and a robust directory. That alone would make Orchestry a powerful tool. The second is a robust guest management tool that allows organizations to

Nachteile:

As great as the UI is, it would be nice to be able to customize it with logos and styles of the organization that is using it.

Choose Orchestry for your M365 Governance Needs!

Kommentare: Orchestry is a great product with great people behind it!

Vorteile:

I liked the User Interface & User Experience most about Orchestry

Nachteile:

There was nothing much that i didnt like about Orchestry

Great Workspace Lifecycle Management tool

Kommentare: Intuitive, pleasant interface.
Easy to install and setup.
Good default setup options.

Vorteile:

Ability to put better controls around creation of workspaces (sites and Teams). This eliminates sprawl. Monitoring for inactive guests. Monitoring for inactive sites. Good default options for templates, archival workflows, etc.

Nachteile:

No support for non-group sites and classic sites. This makes it harder to clean up sprawl. Some terminology is confusing. E.g. Insights/Dashboard.

Orchestry continues to improve, which benefits us all

Kommentare: Overall, Orchestry is a very positive experience coming from the simple user interface which is built for end-users, alongside the templating capability, renewals, governance and more. I would recommend Orchestry to others who are looking to automate Microsoft 365 governance.

Vorteile:

Orchestry was and is a great tool to help with provisioning Group-Enabled content within Microsoft 365, being Microsoft Teams, SharePoint Sites and more. However, over the last six months, we have seen more enhancements come into the product, around health check capabilities and the ability to enrol and manage guest accounts. With these changes, in my opinion, it improves the product capability of Orchestry and goes way beyond the original purpose of provisioning Group-Enabled content in Microsoft 365, which benefits all Orchestry customers.

Nachteile:

Whilst most updates are done automatically, there are some updates which require administrator rights and we often miss them, which is our own fault, but ideally it would be great to have automatic notifications when administrator rights are required to update Orchestry.

Love Orchestry

Kommentare: I would give it a 10 / 10. It really makes my every day work processes a lot easier!

Vorteile:

Streamlined Teams process! Makes it easy to provision Teams and create policies like naming conventions, templates and retention polices for the Teams

Nachteile:

Nothing. I really like all of the features. I think the UI may be able to be improved a bit, but it seems easy enough to use

Will make your SharePoint infrastructure sing!

Kommentare: When my organization started working with Orchestry, the software wasn't as polished as it is today - they've put a lot of work into it, and it shows. I'd recommend it to anyone who needs the feature set.

Vorteile:

The software works as described, and that's great, but what separates Orchestry from their competition is the experience of working with their people. Friendly, competent, forthright are words that come to mind - you'll get the right answer as quickly as possible if you have a question.

Nachteile:

Well, it's not cheap, but the feature set justifies the price.

Highly recommended

Kommentare: Love using the software and will recommend it to everyone using Teams

Vorteile:

It helps provide seamless user experience across all teams & projects and makes the provisioning very easy.

Nachteile:

The cost of Orchestry for larger organizations is an issue as its a bit on the higher side.

Easy to use

Kommentare: Very easy to use and manage in the way we want.

Vorteile:

The most I like about Orchesty is the easy way to set up the tool to meet the needs from the organization.

Nachteile:

The price model to non-profit-businesses

Without Orchestry, you would no longer be able to get along with M365

Kommentare: It has given a great value to our customers as they save time and money using this application to manage their resources.

Vorteile:

It is a versatile application to manage M365 groups and teams. Insights and reports help you to maintain your tenant’s assets and makes it easier to maintain your service health and save your valuable resources.

Nachteile:

You need to be a bit of technically oriented to learn all its properies as it has so many possible options and settings to choose from.

Orchestry Review - Nick D.

Kommentare: I've helped several clients with understanding how to use Orchestry. The metrics and features available have been great for understanding and maintaining their Sharepoint environments.

Vorteile:

The ability to create policies to auto archive unused sites.

Nachteile:

The exported information on various metrics is dependent on the current view. Would be great if there was an option to gather all metrics for Sharepoint sites in one location.

A very cost effective solution for holistic governance management

Kommentare: We and our customers struggle with how to effectively create robust site templates that help create better information architecture and content findability while making it easy for users to self-serve. We have done a number of trials and customers don't want us to remove it. That's a solid selling and value proposition for me.

Vorteile:

I use the directory daily and it makes finding and navigating 1000 of Teams sites and SharePoint sites a breeze. I love how easy the deployment process is. Our clients love to see how stale or active their sites are and then set policies to keep them clean. Set it and forget it, mostly.The team at Orchestry are fun, ease to work with and knowledgeable. They are great to their partner and really strive to support them. They ask for feedback and take it from the field.

Nachteile:

The only feedback that I would have is that they can't finish their backlog of features faster. I know what's on the roadmap and love where they are going with the product and we, and our clients need those features sooner than later.

How Orchestry has helped our clients achieve collaboration success

Kommentare: I can't fault Orhcestry from a partner's point of view. It's easy to install for our clients, works flawlessly and the support and guidance materials are always up to date. [sensitive content hidden]
and the team are super friendly and always willing to speak to our clients or support the partner community.

Vorteile:

Orchestry is a game changer for any organisation that has Microsoft 365. It not only makes the provisioning of workspaces simple and easy to understand for your users it allows you to apply a whole range of governance that actually gets adopted! Not only that, it is probably one of the best-looking pieces of software out there. The UX\UI is expertly thought out meaning users need very little training on how to use it.

Nachteile:

Customers always like to know what has been shared externally from within their team. A permissions matrix or similar would be fantastic to see in the tool.

M365 Management at Its Best

Kommentare: Overall experience with Orchestry has been excellent. In addition to the great features, their IT support is phenomenal

Vorteile:

We are an Orchestry partner. We use Orchestry ourselves and have worked with clients to implement Orchestry. Orchestry truly simplifies M365 management in several ways, reducing the burden on IT: Automation of workspace provisioning, workspace lifecycle management and workspace guest management. In addition, Orchestry is always working to enhance and improve the tool. The new recommendations feature enhances the ability for IT to identify potential issues in M365 and provides easy access to the information you need to resolve those issues.

Nachteile:

There are some things that are not yet supported within Orchestry such as private channels, shared channels and multi-geo. However, Orchestry has these things on their roadmap.

How Orchestry has helped our business

Kommentare: It has been a great experience with Orchestry straight from the beginning, from understanding the product and tailoring around our environment to the ease of deploying and getting into production. I always say it is like putting together building blocks in an order that makes sense and easy to understand. This is one of the great strengths to Orchestry as it really is the easiest product I have experienced.It also gave the company confidence in rolling out guest access in terms of security, guest reviews and data governance.

Vorteile:

I think Orchestry have covered most aspects of governing and managing MS Teams and SharePoint without compromising M365 normal capabilities. From an IT Management perspective Orchestry has made it much easier ti implement and manage the environment, and with the insights (Reporting) you can really see how the estate is shaping up.The other aspect that Orchestry has thought of is the user experience making it visually pleasing for all our users especially around provisioning and managing your workspaces.

Nachteile:

I would like the guest access feature improved from a user perspective, as this can sometimes be a little challenging when adding and managing guests.

Orchestry is more than just a tool for Teams!

Kommentare: It's been amazing. The software just works and consulting support is very good.

Vorteile:

I love the rich analytics which I can use to improve my users experience. I also love the way it makes creating a Teams site so easy. Management and security tools are also very impressive. It truly fills gaps within SharePoint and Teams but also analytics with how to maximize my Microsoft 365 overall investment.

Nachteile:

No real cons. Unless you don't need the tool, then it might be too pricey if you just need one thing and that's it.

Application that made me feel like I hit the lottery.

Kommentare: Provisioning and lifecycle management has allowed me to keep my environment clean of unused sites and keep me on top of who has access as a guest user and if they are still active, etc. Support for Orchestry is top notch and extremely easy to work with and they love feedback on the application so that they can make it better.

Vorteile:

Product is very simple and fast to implement, and you can begin to utilize immediately. The configuration was simple and flexible to my needs as well as my clients so not indepth training time is needed. Provisioning in general is amazing but the guest user access management is amazing and has already had a huge impact with clients.

Nachteile:

If I had to pick one thing it would be the project web parts. I like them a lot but with some tweaking they could be amazing.

Archive and insights make Orchestry fly

Kommentare: Support has been quick to respond.
Installation and setup are a dream. I have worked with similar tools in the past and Orchestry is best in class in these areas. The product team is innovative and releasing new features that are not redundant to what Microsoft is releasing. They have thoughtful intent to add value to clients and partners who leverage.

Vorteile:

Really love the insights and visual reports. They are clear and directive on what steps are needed to resolve. For example, Teams with no members reports, show the MS Teams that do not have any members. So, then policies can be created to prevent this in the future and it can also be remediated.

Nachteile:

That not all the clients I support don't have Orchestry. It really makes governance easy to enforce with features that everyone of my clients could use.

Awesome product for M365 governance, lifecycle management, and collaboration standardization

Kommentare: We have used Orchestry for many years and have installed it at multiple organizations. The software itself is well designed, easy to install and configure. It is fully featured, allowing us to execute on M365 governance and lifecycle management best practices. The Orchestry team is very knowledgeable and provides excellent support.

Vorteile:

There are a lot of features we use often, for both our M365 environment and customer environments. The lifecycle management and governance features are most useful, as they provide simple workflows to keep our environment organized, clean, and secure. This allows us to enforce Microsoft best practices, leading to a much better admin and end user experience. The templating and guest management features are also critical for keeping our M365 environment standardized and secure. The built-in features allow us to save money on Microsoft licensing.

Nachteile:

We have no issues with Orchestry. It is easy to install, configure, and use.

Fantastic tool that simplifies user, controls sprawl, and ensures consistency

Vorteile:

Orchestry's ease of use for end users is off the charts, stepping them through the process of creating a team that ensures consistency and enforces policies. By extension, this guided workflow and approval process controls "Teams sprawl" and ensures naming policies are followed. In addition, the lifecycle management is a fantastic "set it and forget it" that takes the burdens off administrators from having to monitor every inch of Teams constantly. In larger environments, this is transformative.

Nachteile:

There really aren't any cons that I can see. The company is constantly adding new features, so listing a con is often mute in a few months since the feature gets added. They really do listed to their users and partners for insight.

Excellent Product for Managing Microsoft Teams Environment

Kommentare: I must say that I am thoroughly impressed. This product offers a complete solution for managing Teams, from creating Teams with templates to archiving them. I particularly appreciate the ability to manage guest users effectively, which was a pain point for me previously. With this product, I can keep track of all the Teams in my organization and ensure that they are in compliance with our governance policies.The only downside is that the product can be overwhelming for first-time users. However, the support team is very responsive and helpful in addressing any issues that arise. Overall, I highly recommend the Orchestry for anyone looking to manage their Teams environment effectively.

Vorteile:

Offers complete lifecycle management for Teams, from creation with templates to archivingHelps manage guest users effectivelyProvides a comprehensive view of the Teams environmentEnables effective governance of Microsoft Teams

Nachteile:

Can be overwhelming for first-time users

The best Product for collaboration governance

Vorteile:

Easy to set up, but also provides very granular options for more specific needs.Orchestry has taken the lessons learned over time and packaged then into a great looking product that makes life easier for the end user, and IT.They have really provided an end to end solution for the common needs for collaboration governance within Microsoft Teams. And the Compliance and security requirements of the business easily integrated with Orchestry as well.

Nachteile:

It will be interesting to see how Orchestry invests in generative AI and LLL.

Easy to use with room to grow

Kommentare: It's been great. There are still a ton of features that we hope to implement, but even with just the base installation and a few simple customizations, it has been a big help.

Vorteile:

It's extremely easy to setup and get going. There also a ton of features that you can gradually roll out as you get used to the tool and want to make your environment more robust. For example, there are webhooks you can setup so that as you generate new teams, you can build off that event and add more custom automation. Also, the feature where you put ownership of external users in the hands of the team's owners is great.

Nachteile:

Currently the admins get a ton of notifications. I think it would make sense to have separate fields for administration and notifications. Also, it would be nice to specify who gets notified on certain events. So maybe the admins get notified on errors, but general notifications go to a separate email.

Orchestry is critical to a well-oiled and mature Microsoft 365 implementation

Kommentare: Overall the experience is great, the tool looks great and is easy to use. There is a lot of thought into how it works and the information and features are displayed. It is certainly one of the best applications I have used in the Microsoft 365 space in a while.

Vorteile:

I love the fact that you can ensure that users rather than developers can design and establish how they want their workspaces to look and feel. This means that the control is delegated out and people within the business who use the tools everyday are empowered to make tweaks.I

Nachteile:

It took me a while to find out how to add a guest user to a team when Guest Management was switched on.

Thumbs Up for Orchestry

Kommentare: I really enjoy working with the Orchestry solution and the excellent support crew. We continue to gain value from the Orchestry solution as it's allowing us to keep on top of the never ending creation of new M365 workspaces which without Orchestry, would be left hanging around the tenant occupying space and increasing costs

Vorteile:

The ease in which it is deployed and configured. Once configured it makes it really easy to create relevant templates and policies to manage M365 workspaces.

Nachteile:

It was a little difficult to support our specific archival process which utilises AWS but we worked with the Orchestry team and a succesful solution was deployed.

Wonderful company, application, and team!

Kommentare: Phenomenal in all respects!

Vorteile:

Orchestry is an all-around great company. Not only do they have a phenomenal application that fills so many voids in governance and adoption of MS Teams and SharePoint, they are wonderful to work with. They listen to the user, they are extremely responsive, transparent, innovative, and they have the best people working with them.

Nachteile:

I'd like to be able to receive API responses from the Orchestry API calls, allowing us to use Power Automate to do even more with the provisioned workspace after Orchestry has completed its work.
