Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Hiptest allowed us to clean up our test campaigns and standardize the way we write test cases and structure our BDD approach."
"Integration with automation frameworks, keywords, and tags allows for saving time writing test cases and implementing automation."
"CucumberStudio has a very user-friendly interface."
"Scenarios, since is a really easy way to create and control your test cases."
"The data table that helps in converting a single script to multiple test cases is very helpful."
"CucumberStudio aligns with our strategy for data-driven testing."
"The URL is very useful, and it has a very good UI for deploying information of the scenarios created."
"The solution is stable."
"The workflow feature really has a lot of value because you can create workflows in a simple, intuitive way, and with a few clicks you can actually develop quite a complex workflow using tool and product life cycles and so on."
"The solution is fast enough for our workflow automations and has integration capability. It aligns with many use cases in our organization and for others we have planned."
"This is a great platform but it must be used correctly, and not only for ticketing."
"Learning materials, such as online courses, are readily available."
"What I like most about the ServiceNow Now Platform is the flexibility of using JavaScript. I also like that the platform allows custom scripting, server-side scripting, and client-side scripting. Another valuable feature in the ServiceNow Now Platform is the Flow Designer which allows dragging and dropping code, and low code activities."
"The solution is a seamless tool that can integrate with all applications."
"When it comes to complex workflows, cross-functional projects and extended integration features, ServiceNow does a much better job."
"The most valuable features are the ease of use, stability, and the ability to change or upgrade seamlessly."
 

Cons

"CucumberStudio's API integration could be improved both in terms of reliability and design."
"Another kind of deployment might be useful, perhaps an option to install the tool in a local deployment."
"Support with In-App chat is great. However, it would be awesome to have real time support also for PT timezone."
"Yes, it is not stable when you create a data table that includes more than 30 elements, so it can lose your data."
"The reporting aspect can be improved."
"Copy-pasting something directly from JIRA requires too much modification and formatting."
"The reporting needs to be improved."
"It needs some improvement when exporting scenarios into automation code, to make it easier to manage the repeatable action words and tests."
"Simplifying the user interface for both users and administrators is key. It is not very intuitive."
"The tool has a lot of limitations."
"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."
"If AI were better integrated into ServiceNow, it would lower the RPA costs and make the platform more accessible."
"ServiceNow Now Platform wants AI embedded in the product to make it more powerful. Generative AI that will be a part of ServiceNow Now Platform is an area of concern where improvements are required."
"The solution doesn't allow users to create custom tables, which would be a big improvement."
"The number of API calls processed by the tool, specifically when the API calls increase, will cause a lot of load on the platform, and it tends to not work very efficiently."
"The reporting capabilities need to be improved, otherwise we need to pay for performance analytics."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"I would rate the pricing an eight out of ten, with ten being very expensive solution."
"It's expensive and if you need some analytical views of your activity, there is an additional cost."
"People seem to be buying the tool a lot. I think its licensing is okay."
"Pricing is based on the number of users and user licenses, but the product is 20% to 30% more than the competition."
"ServiceNow is not open source, so there is a license you must pay. As for how much it costs, what I have observed is that it often depends on your subscriptions."
"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."
"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."
"The price of the product falls on the higher side of the spectrum."
