Facilitates integration of test scenarios while needing modernization of components
CucumberStudio is primarily used for designing test scenarios and automating testing. We have implemented it in conjunction with our own routines for integration into our infrastructure CucumberStudio aligns with our strategy for data-driven testing. It supports our product owners in designing…

Structured workflows have improved SLA compliance and now support prioritized incident handling
I think the licensing and pricing of ServiceNow is quite expensive compared to other tools. For large organizations, it is acceptable, but specifically for small and medium organizations to track incidents or change requests, ServiceNow is quite expensive. Sometimes performance can be slow when workflows and integrations are configured for complex tasks. For advanced customizations or advanced features which we rarely use, the documentation is not up to standard. The documentation needs to be improved for advanced customization features. However, the platform is stable overall and the features are quite good. The user experience and performance concerns I mentioned are areas I want to be improved. When many workflows and interactions are configured, performance is slow. For the features it is providing, it is quite expensive. If these performance features are improved, we can easily pay that price and get the return on investment.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Hiptest is a great test management tool for agile teams."
"Hiptest allowed us to clean up our test campaigns and standardize the way we write test cases and structure our BDD approach."
"The URL is very useful, and it has a very good UI for deploying information of the scenarios created."
"CucumberStudio has a very user-friendly interface."
"CucumberStudio aligns with our strategy for data-driven testing."
"The power of Hiptest is its test cases and campaign management."
"Scenarios, since is a really easy way to create and control your test cases."
"The most valuable feature is the re-usability of action words."
"The solution is stable, scalable and easy to use."
"ServiceNow is a cloud solution. That fact was very important for us, that it is not an on-prem solution, as it reduces our internal cost of support."
"We could have chosen many different platforms but for lack of a better word, it was the easiest to be able to move to, taking all of our existing processes and data from different sources."
"It's great to do statuses or to review tasks."
"We definitely see a return on investment, particularly regarding time saved, as automation has enabled us to move invoices to customers much faster than before, saving five to ten days of cycle time for each invoice."
"Easy to integrate with third-party applications."
"I've seen other products, I've seen some of the stuff that they can do, but I really haven't seen one that can, at least in my mind, replace our ServiceNow for everything that we've put into it and everything that we've done, and it would be a very hard thing to do."
"It's a great tool."
 

Cons

"More tutorials and examples."
"It needs some improvement when exporting scenarios into automation code, to make it easier to manage the repeatable action words and tests."
"I would like to see better customer support."
"I think it would be better if we could also do the reporting with CucumberStudio."
"Yes, it is not stable when you create a data table that includes more than 30 elements, so it can lose your data."
"CucumberStudio's API integration could be improved both in terms of reliability and design."
"The reporting and metrics can be improved. E.g.: If we wanted to have metrics across all projects."
"Support with In-App chat is great. However, it would be awesome to have real time support also for PT timezone."
"We find it good in general. Obviously, there are areas of improvement for every capability. As they evolve more, if they keep on adding more intelligence into the capabilities, it will improve. The improvement areas are more integration across the landscape and more intelligence for the overall capability of the solution."
"Sometimes it could be better and faster."
"From an HR standpoint, if users can have a very integrated onboarding or offboarding process between ServiceNow and Workday, then it can give a very good employee experience."
"I would say there had been times where it's taking a long time for a resolution."
"They could be more competitive with their licensing."
"The biggest hassle we have for ServiceNow has been licensing."
"Needs additional software titles and easier normalization."
"The major area for improvement for our needs would be monitoring the metrics of the times to acknowledge and resolve issues and escalations."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It's sold as a less expensive solution, but it has to be highly modified. That's where you get into the cost."
"The platform offers a free trial, by providing a free developer instance once you sign up."
"Initially, the licensing model ServiceNow came up with was very good. But now, from a licensing perspective, they are changing their model day by day. It is becoming a bit expensive for customers."
"Getting the solution up and running is expensive."
"They could be more competitive with their licensing."
"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 license model is based on a number of fulfillers (active users who play some role within the ServiceNow functionality). Therefore, you can serve as many end-users as you want, without additional costs."
