Worked right the first time out-of-the-box; we were provisioning to AWS within 10 minutes
Ironically, most of the features that we might have wanted to see were already introduced in the product announcement today, from what we saw in the beta, which was kind of cool. You can't come to market unless you have Azure support, and Azure was all over every slide we saw, so that was pretty cool. A couple of things that I did see, there are a couple of security features that need to be enhanced. It is way too easy to provision a VM onto a public cloud, wide open to everybody. So, there are a couple of issues there. We are obviously going to talk with the product teams and the architects about some of those things; a handful of things here and there. Most of the things we were looking for were already included. Things that we had requested a month ago, we are now seeing them here: Azure Stack integration and the OneView integration. These were the things we were saying, "Hey, if these were there, it would be really cool. We could use this." All of a sudden, "Oh hey, guess what is going to be at launch?" I am very eager to get my hands on the next version of this product, and to see what may or may not be missing.

Unified workflows have centralized ticketing and have provided real-time visibility across companies
ServiceNow IT Operations Management can be improved by focusing on adoption, as some companies still use other tools, and we had to onboard them initially, addressing challenges such as data migration and consistency, especially since we have 14,000 users in my group company utilizing this for multiple purposes, emphasizing workflows defined so that onboarding processes can be streamlined into a single tool. To improve ServiceNow IT Operations Management, I believe incorporating natural language processing is essential, allowing users to type queries such as 'I need this' and receive responses based on AI and data. Furthermore, enhancing analytics is crucial, as we have seven years of data providing a substantial history of past ITSM and non-ITSM business tickets that can help predict and reduce the volume of calls.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"OneSphere being a SaaS platform, you do not have to deal with those issues, it is in quickly and you can begin utilizing it right away."
"With all the time and investment in all the competitive products, still it makes them not even a competitor anymore, with how this works."
"The solution allows you to subscribe to the features you need and utilize CMDB, ITSM, and discovery on the same platform."
"It includes a valuable feature called Discovery, that aids in application portfolio management, enabling visibility into IT infrastructure from top to bottom."
"The dashboard maintenance is very good, and the tool doesn't get stuck."
"Our ROI since implementing ServiceNow ITOM has been significant."
"It is flexible. You can tune it, more or less, as you want."
"The impact of ServiceNow IT Operations Management's configuration management on service quality has been significant, as we implemented a common platform for the Adani Group, which is a large company, and we have Adani Wilmar with close to eight or nine separate business units covering oil, gas, steel, and real estate, all having different features and functionality, while keeping the overall process and configuration the same to reduce the run maintenance cost of the overall group company and within Adani, ensuring a single source of truth."
"With this solution, operational costs will be reduced, your maintenance cost will be reduced when you use the item model, you will deliver a fast solution to the customers, and if something happens on the server-side or router-side, it will be immediately caught."
"The solution is very capable and user friendly."
 

Cons

"We are looking to be able to set a hard budget for the workspaces or projects."
"A couple of things that I did see, there are a couple of security features that need to be enhanced."
"ServiceNow IT Operations Management could do a little bit better with integrations. Integrating ServiceNow IT Operations Management with CMDB processes needs a little more work."
"Service Mapping is a time-consuming process. The time and effort versus the benefits are very difficult to articulate to customers."
"An area for improvement for ServiceNow IT Operations Management is making service mapping and discovery easier for non-IP devices."
"There is a slower learning curve associated with the tool's scripting part. It is also not cheap."
"At times, it got cumbersome from the project management perspective."
"The most complaints we have received from our clients are the solution's discovery aspect. I've heard a few concerns from the customers where we have to integrate with a third-party tool to make a full-fledged discovery along with ServiceNow. ServiceNow alone does not do the total capacity of the discovery. The discovery portion of ServiceNow IT Operations Management is not in-depth as what the customers are looking for. The information that it gathers from the assets is a little more limited than what other tools provide."
"The out-of-the-box reporting feature has room for the improvement, it can be make more user friendly as other tools."
"It didn't provide as much value as we thought it would."

"It is moderately expensive. The pricing itself and the licensing options are depending on the model and the customization."
"It has different subscription models."
"The solution offers yearly licenses and a subscription model for add-on features."
"I would rate the product's pricing a five out of ten since there are vendors who are cheaper."
