watsonx Orchestrate Likes & Dislikes

Like

The service. I believe that, as a product, it needs to refine the analytics aspect of its actions.

Automated Translation from Portuguese
Like

Deep enterprise integrations Easy no-code agent creation Strong governance and safety Catalog of ready agents

Like

The ability to connect skills across tools like email, our ticketing system, and data platforms are of optimal value.

Dislike

Regarding the analytics and health aspects of the actions, I believe there could be more indicators about the user's journey within Watson, something that also considers the curator's perspective as a user of the tool. Perhaps implementing a feature that would allow curation of the bot and its flows to be done within the assistant itself, or even using a model to perform this scanning.

Automated Translation from Portuguese
Dislike

Initial setup can feel complex Several features demand integration work Some advanced options require time to master

Dislike

The primary users on our team have an IBM background but I think for those not familiar with the interface would require pretty intensive training.
