Network management and diagnostics improved through effective monitoring and reporting capabilities
The solution is handy. I have not used that particular feature. Maintenance is required for the system. If you want to use something on the endpoints or end-user devices, then using LiveAction LiveNX in place of other tools would be quite beneficial. The solution impacts operational costs and resources. On a scale of 1-10, I rate LiveAction LiveNX a nine.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We provide a tool for our customers to manage their reports. It's an extremely highly featured platform capable of producing a lot of data. We spent quite a long time working with customers and LiveAction to create template reports, and they're very good and configurable. You get a lot of data if you don't configure them."
"Its analytical capability is really good."
"The product has a very good graphical interface."
"One of the valuable features is the ability to create CLI scripts on the fly to fix any issues. We were using it for QoS modeling to ensure that we were properly modeling QoS, and it basically said here is what you need to fix to get this QoS done, whether it is ACL or something else. It would either push or recommend. If you have the right credentials, you could also push. It is very good if you are a Cisco shop. It gives you reporting, latency, and bandwidth utilization for your applications, so you can do good capacity management planning. There are a lot of pieces that LiveNX can give you. It is a total NPM solution for SD-WAN."
"The alerting feature is very good because it allows you to set MOS alerts at various network junctures or data points."
"The intention and the idea of the filter is great."
"On a scale of 1-10, I rate LiveAction LiveNX a nine."
"All in all, LiveAction LiveNX has become an indispensable tool for maintaining and improving our network's reliability and performance, ultimately supporting our organization's goal of providing timely and dependable delivery services."
"The most valuable feature of ServiceNow IT Operations Management is the user interface."
"I consider the stability to be very high, rating it ten out of ten."
"It has been very useful for tracking. It has evolved a lot over time, and there is a single pane of glass where you can track and see everything."
"I am impressed with the tool's ability to track information in an easy way."
"It is flexible. You can tune it, more or less, as you want."
"Has service mapping, impact management, metric intelligence and health of analytics."
"The way this solution has helped us is that it improved our communication."
"I like the solution mostly for CMDB discovery."
 

Cons

"The only downside to this software is the price."
"This is a horrible solution and I think everything needs to be improved."
"They need to create a more simplified UI."
"The tool crashes sometimes when we try to pull reports simultaneously."
"The customer service and technical support of LiveAction LiveNX are rated at 4 out of 10."
"It is not as robust as other NPM solutions. For instance, there is a problem while labeling specific applications. It works well with well-known applications, but when you have to put in new applications that are not very known and set them up with names, ports, URLs, or some protocols, it is not as intuitive."
"Maintenance is required for the system."
"Sometimes the solution does not register devices properly and that is a bug."
"At times, it got cumbersome from the project management perspective. It could have been because of the way we were using it. I found Microsoft Project to be more extensive and robust than ITOM."
"The pricing is high."
"An area for improvement for ServiceNow IT Operations Management is making service mapping and discovery easier for non-IP devices."
"The solution's licensing model is a bit complicated. It should be simple and easy for people to understand."
"The solution needs to add mobilization, where we can connect mobile devices or wireless devices to do wireless scanning and bring assets into the database."
"The solution's subscription model could be improved."
"The pattern part can be improved. Patterns are used in the Discovery feature. Although it is easy to create new patterns and modify the existing ones, it would be better if this solution can have more out-of-the-box patterns. In terms of new features, they can include artificial intelligence, something like machine learning."
"ServiceNow IT Operations Management is not very affordable. It is affordable for organizations with a minimum of 5,000 users plus."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We use the free version."
"The solution is fairly expensive compared to other products."
"It is moderately expensive. The pricing itself and the licensing options are depending on the model and the customization."
"ServiceNow IT Operations Management is a costly solution. I'd rate the price at ten, on a scale from one to ten with one being the lowest and ten being the highest price. Some clients do have a problem with the price, but most find that the solution is worth the cost."
"It has different subscription models."
"The price of ServiceNow IT Operations Management is expensive."
"We obtained discovery licenses at about seven dollars Australian per unit, which we found to be reasonable and competitive."
"The pricing is high and may be excluding the small to medium-sized enterprise businesses."
