Useful for automation and reporting and has open API for seamless integration
It was easy to integrate the tool with our infrastructure because all the APIs are pre-built. We just created a drag-and-drop prompt to integrate the solution with our infrastructure. I rate the overall solution a ten out of ten. Everyone needs to evaluate this solution according to their organization's needs because it can integrate well, but this depends on the technology you already have in your organization. It is an automation tool for detection and response, and while integration is possible, using legacy products could create issues. Some legacy products are closed systems and do not expose their APIs to other vendors. In such cases, you could run into problems. If you are considering this solution, check which APIs are available before you proceed. Otherwise, you may get the solution, but you must spend time on integrations. They provide integration support, but it's not automatic; it will take time.

A low-cost and open-source tool for incident and change management
If we encounter challenges while deploying, we raise incidents. These incidents are categorized by priority: high, medium, and low. We assign an incident number and notify the relevant teams to address the issue. For instance, if we experience a problem with Cloud services or any other issue, we…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is an out-of-the-box automated integration with our 20 departments. We perform L1 LiveOps automatically through the portal."
"The solution's valuable feature is its GUI. It has more than 450 connectors, which are excellent for connecting devices and automating integration. The solution has all the features we need. We deployed it in our environment, and it's fully integrated. Thanks to their open APIs, the seamless integration makes everything work well together."
"The solution is stable."
"The product has a very simple UI."
"The product's most valuable features include the no-code capability for workflows and flow design, which makes it user-friendly, and the ability to perform advanced configurations."
"The SOAR module of ServiceNow Security Operations is the most valuable feature"
"We refer to the setup and installation guide provided by ServiceNow. They have good documentation, which makes it easier to handle the process."
"What I found most valuable in ServiceNow Security Operations is that it's very useful for any incoming vulnerability. For example, if my team finds any vulnerability on servers such as the CA and CMDB integrated with ServiceNow Security Operations, my team can make some changes. My team can map the vulnerabilities found on the CA server, make the changes required, and resolve the vulnerabilities before the system is attacked. You can avoid vulnerability attacks through ServiceNow Security Operations, so this is the best feature of the solution. ServiceNow Security Operations is beneficial mainly for vulnerability response and engagement purposes."
"The ease of use is great."
"​Integration to other security tools allows for a consolidated view of all vulnerabilities, incidents, etc. for all sorts of leverage in a single platform to assess governance risk and compliance as well as an enhanced, enriched intelligence.​"
 

Cons

"The reporting, especially custom reporting, needs to be improved. Additionally, it would be better if it could be hosted on Linux."
"Reporting needs improvement. MTTR and MTTD metrics aren't directly available in playbooks and require manual effort to achieve."
"It is challenging for the customers to understand the processes for SecOps. It needs to be simplified."
"It's very slow. When you click a button or update a field, it takes forever to actually react."
"The product is called SecOps, but it is not security operations in terms of SIEM solutions."
"The dashboard and playbook creation will need to improve"
"It doesn't interact with things very well."
"An area for improvement I observed in ServiceNow Security Operations is the need to maintain correct CMDB data because if you're unable to do this, you can't perfectly maintain the vulnerability data. CMDB data in ServiceNow Security Operations needs to be accurate. As I've been working on ServiceNow Security Operations for only seven months, I still need more time to try all its modules before I can give recommendations regarding additional features I'd like to see in the solution."
"In future releases, I would like to add a follow-up and reminder feature. For the tickets in our queue, we could set reminders. This would help us prioritize older tickets before moving on to new ones."
"The initial setup is difficult."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"Compared to competitor tools, ServiceNow Security Operations is more affordable"
"This product is a good value for the money."

"It is an expensive product."
"The solution is more expensive than BMC Remedy, the other ITSM tool available in the market."
"The product is more expensive than other solutions."
