Provides limited scalability, and systems do not synchronize properly
I use the platform to track IT assets, including who they belong to and their current status I do not find the product beneficial. It has ongoing issues and does not meet my expectations. The two systems within Asset Manager do not synchronize properly. Queries fail to retrieve the correct…

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

"The product's stability in terms of uptime is generally good; it is always operational."
"The solution is easy to setup."
"SPM and ITSM features are the most helpful."
"One feature of ServiceNow that is important is the workflow engine. From my perspective [as a consultant] the power to be able to structure processes, represent workforce management for organizations, and the visibility provided by the reporting are additional top features."
"The Workflow feature is the most valuable."
"You can scale the solution."
"Identifies better ways to license software or eliminate unused software to save money and maintain a choice between buying more licenses or reclaiming licenses to stay within compliance."
"It's more about the ease of use of ServiceNow, plus everything is there in a single platform, and if you need any additional functionality, you just need to enable the plugins without even installing anything on the servers."
"It actually has quite a wide list of modules and processes. Currently, we are implementing project management and Scaled Agile Framework for one of our customers."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the possibility of the application development cap so that we can digitize workflows."
 

Cons

"The synchronization between the ITAM and Neurons should be restored."
"Queries fail to retrieve the correct information, and the discovery tool does not accurately reflect the details of devices."
"Vulnerability management could be improved."
"When it comes to changing some of the features, I would like a little more leeway."
"Complexities in the organization made the initial deployment complex."
"The setup wasn't as straightforward or easy as it should have been."
"Some of the things which I've seen that they're improving now, it was the UI. It was a pretty basic UI which needed improvement."
"There is inherent complexity with this tool because of the number of things that it can do."
"We would like to have an Asset Management and/or Project Management feature enabled in this version and in the IT Service Management edition."
"I am interested to see the firm's strategic plans for Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML), and how the particular areas it will expand on from its existing investments (that feature, for example, in its ITSM Pro and CSM Pro modules)."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is reasonably priced."
"We know that ServiceNow is not cheap, it's more expensive than other solutions. But we are trying to increase our ability to handle tickets so that the cost per ticket is less."
"We are happy with the pricing."
"The CapEx version is great."
"ServiceNow tends to be a little bit more expensive as compared to BMC Helix ITSM."
"While the option exists to pay for a monthly license, we are dealing with large enterprises and these typically involve multi-year licenses of ten or five years, at a minimum."
"In Tunisia, the companies find the licensing costs to be 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."
"For the modules we use, we found it competitive. I can't think of any costs in addition to the licensing fees."
