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…

Enables effective incident management and seamless workflow automation with valuable mobile accessibility
I haven't thought deeply about improvements for ServiceNow or what might be missing right now. There are so many modules and features in ServiceNow that I haven't explored them all, so it's hard to say what might be missing or should be improved. I suggest making the cost more affordable for smaller companies.

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."
"If it is a high priority, they will respond very quickly. If it is a low priority issue, it might take some time, some three or four days. I would rate the technical support as a 10 out of 10."
"For the nuts and bolts running of an IT organization, I can't really say there's anything lacking feature-wise."
"The most valuable feature is that this is a Cloud solution."
"I find the incident management part to be the most valuable. That's how the service desk tracks tickets."
"Very easy to implement and to respond to my clients' needs."
"I like that in ServiceNow creating workflows is simpler than that in HP Service Manager. Also, I really like the customization feature. It allows us to customize the service portal and permits us to do a lot of customization per business needs."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the possibility of the application development cap so that we can digitize workflows."
"Great that it's knowledge-based and you can use the flows in ServiceNow."
 

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."
"The reporting, which also includes dashboards, needs to be improved, and there should also be the ability to turn on and off portions of Project Management. Currently, as soon as you install the new version, you've got to go back there and make all the tweaks. There should be just a configuration file that goes to the new version.  The Project Management module does not leverage the knowledge base the way it should, and there is no built-in ability to get to the articles. Resource management should be easier. It would be amazing if they can make resource management a little bit more graphical. There are other solutions that I've seen where resource management was a more visual experience."
"We can't update bulk tickets using a simple query language. Jira lets us update hundreds of tickets with one command. In ServiceNow, you need to select each task separately to close them. The dashboards could also be more user-friendly. Monday.com has better dashboards."
"The product’s standard user experience is not the best."
"Service mapping could be less complicated."
"The customization that we are doing for the needs of our organization are difficult to do and could be improved."
"Change Management is the area I have found that this tool can be improved because there are so many fields which are missing, such as urgency of the customer request and how the priority is defined. These are some of the areas in which I found that BMC Remedy is much better than ServiceNow."
"Vulnerability management could be improved. Also, integration with tools such as Microsoft Defender ATP needs improvement."
"The discovery of assets could be improved; right now they only allow for one domain."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is reasonably priced."
"The pricing is reasonable and affordable, making it suitable for businesses ranging from small to large scale."
"The price is okay for us. It's reasonable."
"Certainly, from a product-platform perspective, the price is not too bad."
"They could be more competitive with their licensing."
"The licensing expenses are excessively high."
"The price of this solution is expensive."
"The platform offers a free trial, by providing a free developer instance once you sign up."
"ServiceNow tends to be a little bit more expensive as compared to BMC Helix ITSM."
