I use it for. browser based systems for my own clients It's configured to make it very quick to build feature-rich systems. The only issue I would say is that they develop updates very quickly that are hard to keep up with. I have been using Alpha Anywhere for thirty years. It's stable, set up…

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Once you get through the learning curve, you can do a lot with it."
"It's very flexible."
"The integration feature has simplified our multi-tool ecosystem. The inbuilt integrations significantly improve our solution delivery timelines. Also, standardized adapters and integration adapters reduce failure rates due to compatibility. This boosts productivity and eases maintenance."
"Scalability-wise, it is a very good solution."
"ServiceNow provides immense options for customization and scalability, allowing users to build and modify the platform according to their needs."
"The level of automation within the platform is great."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"It's very intuitive and easy to use. The flexibility and user-friendliness of ServiceNow are key reasons it's such a popular cloud solution."
"It is an absolutely scalable solution."
"The solution is very comprehensive."
 

Cons

"It can be slow to develop, and it's repetitive."
"The stability of Alpha Anywhere could improve, especially from version to version. There have been several complaints that they should conduct more testing before releasing a version."
"If AI were better integrated into ServiceNow, it would lower the RPA costs and make the platform more accessible."
"What I didn't like in the ServiceNow Now Platform is testing, particularly with Visual Studio. It had a bad integration with Visual Studio because you can't compile and run it from there. You have to debug on your own and then find out where the error is through test scripts. The testing component in the ServiceNow Now Platform isn't that great. What I'd like to see in the next version of the ServiceNow Now Platform is an improvement in testing and writing scripts, and if there was a feature to just run it from the modules, then that would be great, instead of finding the error manually and checking where it is."
"The price is a bit high and can be a bit of a barrier for some customers."
"There are a few areas of concern when it comes to the product's support team where improvements are required."
"The UI is very bad and needs to be updated."
"The solution's user interface is very average, and it needs to be more enriched and user-friendly."
"The UI is not intuitive."
"I think there may be some integration with AI and a smart way of reporting, reporting mechanisms, and automation mechanisms on the inputs from other tools that could be better."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is mid-range.We pay only for the subscription."
"Prices vary, and they will enter into different contracts with different people."
"Pricing is based on the number of users and user licenses, but the product is 20% to 30% more than the competition."
"Price-wise, I would describe the product's cost to be more than the average, but it compensates for that with the functionalities that it provides."
"I don't have much exposure to the costs attached to the solution. I rate the product's price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is the lowest price, and ten is the highest price since it is a costly tool."
"From what I heard, the license for the ServiceNow Now Platform is paid monthly, and on a scale of one to five, I'm rating it a three in terms of pricing, so it's on the cheaper side. I don't know of any additional costs associated with the ServiceNow Now Platform, apart from the standard licensing fees."
"I would rate the pricing an eight out of ten, with ten being very expensive solution."
"The solution is expensive, and I rate it a ten for pricing."
"The solution is expensive."
"Most of the features are included in the licensing cost. However, if we need extra plugins that are not available at the ServiceNow Hub or store, then we have to pay extra for those."
