What do you like best about Orchestry?The governance around it. We still allow people to create Team site without IT involvement but it allows us to put some rules around it, and apply a lifecycle so it doesn't become the wild west.What do you dislike about Orchestry?There are some limitations surrounding multi geo environments. Although I can force certain groups to only see a specific multi geo workspace, there is no way to do that based on the user's PDL location. Also cannot apply lifecycle policies to sites created in multi geo environments.What problems is Orchestry solving and how is that benefiting you?Allow users to create their own site without IT involvement but within our rules. Cleaning up inactive and unredeemed guest invitations.

What do you like best about Orchestry?I love Orchestry’s reporting tools, the security recommendations it provides, and the fact that most items are actionable—meaning I don’t have to jump between different tools to identify and fix issues.What do you dislike about Orchestry?The only downside I’ve encountered when using Orchestry is that the reports aren’t customizable. While there are 50+ premade reports available, you can’t choose which columns or details appear in them. I really wish there were more options to customize the reports to fit what I need.What problems is Orchestry solving and how is that benefiting you?Before Orchestry, our organization had more than 6k SharePoint sites, and the sprawl was completely out of control. Orchestry has been helping us clean up those sites, define an appropriate site lifecycle, and develop policies that better protect our data. With the advent of AI, this has become a critical need for us. We can now move sites that no longer need to be searchable by CoPilot into an archive, where they can be ignored by AI. Overall, this has saved us a lot of time and helped us maintain a more secure environment.

What do you like best about Orchestry?Orchestry has an excellent UI for managing governance and adoption of our M365 sites, where we find the typical Microsoft Admin Center as cumbersome and clunky to navigate, Orchestry streamlines the whole experience. What do you dislike about Orchestry?Additionally, the ability to review and approve requests for sites and Teams has become a crucial part to our adoption and workflow of bringing on new Teams and SharePoint sites.Recommendations to others considering Orchestry?We have not been able to make use of features like the directory due to limited ability to control visibility. We have a very segmented business, so having some sites visible to all individuals is not an option, so without the ability to lock down visibility of the sites in the directory to specific groups, we are forced to disable it entirely.What problems is Orchestry solving and how is that benefiting you?Site creep - by being able to monitor and approve requests for Teams/Sites/Guests, we prevent the creep of numerous sites being made while being unmanaged.

What do you like best about Orchestry?t gives organisations a practical way to manage Teams, SharePoint sites, Microsoft 365 Groups and workspaces through controlled templates, approval processes and lifecycle management, while still allowing users to request what they need through a simple self-service experience. What do you dislike about Orchestry? Recommendations to others considering Orchestry?For me, the biggest value is that it helps solve the common Microsoft 365 sprawl problem. Instead of every team, site or workspace being created differently, Orchestry helps standardise naming, ownership, metadata, permissions and governance from the beginning. That makes the environment easier to manage, easier to secure and easier for users to understand. What problems is Orchestry solving and how is that benefiting you?

What do you like best about Orchestry?Orchestry makes is so easy to manage our SharePoint Online environment. The robust reporting, the ability to apply review policies, and the interface are top notch.What do you dislike about Orchestry?There isn't really a downside to using Orchestry, but there is functionality that I wished existed. At the moment, Orchestry provides reporting, but no easy way to change what we are reporting on. For example, I might pull a report for workspaces that are missing owners, but I have no way of changing those without navigating to the appropriate admin portal.Recommendations to others considering Orchestry?By far the largest issue Orchestry has solved for me are the review policies. Before Orchestry, I would manually alert workspace owners and ask if they still need their workspace. This resulted in constant follow up with the owners. Since this was a manual process, this review process would take months to complete. With Orchestry, we now have several types of reviews that happen continuously. When sites become inactive, owners are automatically alerted and they are given configured options of what they can do with the site. They can renew, archive, or delete the workspace.

What do you like best about Orchestry?Orchestry's AI (Copilot) readiness dashboard is a tool which I used in the organization's AI Acceleration program and the results were amazing, also the granular access control is indeed a fantastic move from Infosec point of view.What do you dislike about Orchestry?Nothing as such, just a feedback to enable agentic workflows like incorporating Slack's or Atlassian's s MCP server.What problems is Orchestry solving and how is that benefiting you?Especially to my end users, it helps to manage and collaborate in Microsoft 365.

What do you like best about Orchestry?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.What do you dislike about Orchestry?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 interfaceWhat problems is Orchestry solving and how is that benefiting you?All project managers were creating client facing collaboration portals manually and with different security settings and folder structures. This frequently caused some inconsistency among the experiences of the clients as well as a possible security misconfiguration which was difficult to trace. As result of Orchestry implementation, all of our new client projects have a securely configured workspace that is automatically provisioned with all the needed document libraries and external sharing thresholds. It differentiates a business like manner of all our outside interaction.
