ADK is thoroughly documented, which I really appreciate. The release notes page is particularly helpful. There is a wide range of functionality, and Orchestrate continues to stay current with developments in the agentic landscape. I'm looking forward to integrating Claude as a base LLM for some of my agents and seeing how that works out. I love how consistently new features come out. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The response times are slow, and new features frequently arrive with bugs. For instance, it's not possible to import a remote mcp through the ADK as intended; instead, I have to use the API to accomplish this. Previously, I encountered several problems with flows and the ADK as well. Additionally, when agents use tools in Orchestrate that require string inputs, the input string often gets cut off prematurely. For example, if I try to enter the sentence "my favorite place to eat is chili's because they have good food," it ends up being truncated to "my favorite place to eat is chili."

The process is well defined and is easy to understand and implement. By following the process you know what are the steps and by learning what each step does you can visualize the idea and start implementing. Once the agent is implemented you can chat with the assistant and get your questions answered. You can also select the AI models for your agent. I built my agent with no code.

Just used it once, so still in learning process and too soon to answer this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

A new thing I like about IBM watsonx Orchestrate is how it simplifies task automation by letting you create "skills" using natural language. It’s user-friendly and allows non-developers to automate repetitive tasks across tools like email, calendars, and business apps without writing code. The integration with Watson AI makes it smarter and more context-aware. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

One area IBM watsonx Orchestrate could improve is enabling easier movement or reuse of nodes across different skills. Currently, if we want to replicate logic, we have to manually rebuild it in another skill, which is time-consuming. Adding a drag-and-drop or import/export feature would make skill development more efficient. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Being able to expand the available domain and tasks associated with the daily development and integration lifecycle we expect to deeply impact our ability to sustain and stabilize integrations. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Initial learning curve can be daunting to more junior team members. Identifying the most appropriate area to start for greatest impact to business and operations can be an area of contention. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The best thing about IBM watsonx Orchestrate is its incredible ease of use and powerful natural language processing. The platform is remarkably intuitive; we were able to get it up and running with minimal friction. It completely democratizes automation—you don't need to be a developer to create complex workflows. Just being able to tell the AI what you want to do in plain English is a total game-changer. The number of pre-built "skills" and the seamless ease of integration with our existing tools like Salesforce and Slack are also huge wins. It genuinely makes our team more efficient and has freed up a lot of time from tedious, repetitive tasks. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The main thing to be aware of is that while the basic functionality is very straightforward, there's a bit of a steep learning curve for the more advanced features and custom integrations. The platform is incredibly powerful, which also means it can be a little overwhelming at first. For someone who isn't very technical, creating a more complex "skill flow" can take some time to get the hang of. Also, while the integrations are a big selling point, the initial setup process for some of our non-IBM applications was a bit more complex than we anticipated. It's nothing that can't be figured out, but it's worth noting. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Watsonx Orchestrate makes it easy to build and deploy intelligent agents without code, connect to enterprise tools, and quickly turn ideas into working automation Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While Watsonx Orchestrate is powerful, some limitations slow down adoption. Connector capabilities are still maturing — certain integrations require manual workarounds or don’t yet support advanced authentication flows like OAuth2 with custom scopes. Model selection is also restricted in the current UI, and features like elasticsearch search sometimes return limited results despite having multiple sources Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I love how IBM watsonx Orchestrate simplifies automation using natural language commands. It easily connects with popular business tools, making it effortless to streamline repetitive tasks and boost productivity—even for non-technical users. The user-friendly interface makes creating and adjusting workflows intuitive and accessible Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

The learning curve is a bit steep at first, and documentation can be overwhelming. Periodic lags during heavy workflows and some limitations—like file upload size, restricted multi-agent support, and basic AI responses—mean it isn’t always perfect for every situation. There’s room for more real-time support and feature depth. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

I am a marketing manager, and using IBM Watsonx Orchestrate has helped me to simplify and automate the daily marketing tasks.

I don't have the knowledge of coding, but its integration with Salesforce, Slack and email marketing platforms has helped me to create smooth workflows. Its AI abilities help in better understanding the data easily. This has helped me to scale my marketing operations without having more resources on the same routine marketing tasks.

The only thing I felt is that it would have been the best if more templates were available for use.

Also, one has to go through a learning curve to use this. And it can be difficult for low-level executives to go through this process. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

IBM Watsonx Orchestrate makes it much easier to automate repetitive tasks without needing deep technical expertise. I really appreciate how intuitive the interface is and how quickly new automations can be set up. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

While the platform is powerful, there are moments where the learning curve feels a bit steep, especially when integrating with more complex enterprise systems. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
