It's a good solution for those with limited coding experience
The visualization of the data pages could be improved. You have to a lot of tweaking to make the visualization stand out. It's basic, but there are a lot of options. So you really have to do a lot of customizing on that part. They could add some templates that are more attractive than the basic ones. It would be helpful if you could start with something that's already built rather than working on standard templates from scratch.

Seamless data integration and advanced automation improve service delivery efficiency
I think that nothing needs to be improved with the product; you just need the user to commit and spend appropriate time to overcome that learning curve. Once that is done, the product itself is pretty wonderful. I've seen a very nicely built interface with ServiceNow, and I've also seen the ugliest version that feels outdated. ServiceNow does allow that team to exist. They should modernize their fonts and their layout, the UI friendliness. They did introduce AI, chatbots, and AI on the back end, so that's wonderful and extremely useful if you train it. If you don't train it, it's pretty useless. Assessing the impact of ServiceNow's automation on service delivery times is complicated. The engineers who operate on ServiceNow find it isn't straightforward because the data set is accessible by everybody. The problem is that understanding how to manage that data set requires an enormous amount of engineering skill set to run the product. I would not hand the key to the customer; I would highly recommend that ServiceNow take control of that. Instead of offering support for the software, they should offer administrative support for the software. They should provide professional service or some kind of support system that allows us to use their product at a faster pace. I'm sure they offer something, but it's often outrageously expensive, or they rely on another company to resell their product and offer professional service. It makes no sense in my opinion, and they should offer the team at the front to help customize the product to fit each company's needs, as every company has different demands and forms of submitting a request that need adjustment over time.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Caspio was user-friendly compared to other solutions. As someone who doesn't know a lot about coding, I found it easy to create a web application on this platform."
"The impact of ServiceNow's self-service portal on IT staff dependency levels has shown a dramatic improvement."
"We always get good support."
"The pricing of the product is quite good. It's not too expensive."
"ServiceNow offers a range of ITSM, IT incident management, and PRCPs."
"Consolidating multiple functionalities into a single platform reduces the need to invest in various separate solutions. ServiceNow integrates ITSM, CMDB, Discovery modules, and more into one cohesive system."
"The Workflow feature is the most valuable."
"The biggest feature is that it is cloud-based, so it's always updated, it's always current. We don't have to worry about patches, revisions. We're always working with the latest version."
"It is robust and very user-friendly."
 

Cons

"The visualization of the data pages could be improved. You have to a lot of tweaking to make the visualization stand out. It's basic, but there are a lot of options. So you really have to do a lot of customizing on that part. They could add some templates that are more attractive than the basic ones. It would be helpful if you could start with something that's already built rather than working on standard templates from scratch."
"When it comes to changing some of the features, I would like a little more leeway."
"ServiceNow's customization is not too agile in those cases; it takes a little bit of time."
"The challenge with ServiceNow lies in its expansive portfolio of services. It can be complex, and users may find it expensive and challenging to understand. There is a need for a configurator within ServiceNow that guides users on how to utilize the tool effectively. This configurator should provide insights into licensing, team requirements, and the best licensing model based on whether companies prefer ownership or consumption-based models."
"It's not user-friendly by default, but it can be customized to be customer-friendly."
"If you have advanced questions, technical support often doesn't know the answer."
"We don't have a huge amount of password reset requests, but the minimum package of resets that ServiceNow offers is much more than we need."
"We are struggling with the scheduling part, but it doesn't necessarily mean that it is a ServiceNow issue. It could be the way we have configured it. We don't have it configured in a way where you can schedule a support call with our end users. We are looking for more automation in the box and the chat feature."
"ServiceNow might need to improve its capabilities to integrate with third-party tools."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"ServiceNow tends to be a little bit more expensive as compared to BMC Helix ITSM."
"The solution is expensive."
"ServiceNow pricing is an art, not a science. The deal depends on how commercially savvy you are, which does make it something that is quite difficult to get right. It is most definitely an opportunity area for ServiceNow to improve and have more visibility around pricing of the different products within the platform."
"It is an expensive platform."
"I am from Brazil. For Latin American markets, ServiceNow is very expensive as compared to other vendors, such as VMware."
"The first impact for the customer is that it is expensive, but do not forget that it is a solution that includes infrastructure; a single cost, easy to justify."
"The cost is quite high."
"Some time ago it was expensive, but large companies have special contracts. It's enterprise prices, and we're talking about millions per year."
