Responsive technical support and an easy initial setup but needs better asset management
We found the initial setup to be surprisingly straightforward. It's not overly complex and difficult, and the ease of setup is a great selling point. We started to do it on our own as it was so straightforward. There is a beginner's guide on their website which you can use. It's a very good toolbox and very useful. Basically, all you need to do is start up your virtual machine inside or outside, put in some passwords, and run one or two commands as directed and it's up and ready to go. The only thing that may take a while is the configuration process. Otherwise, the deployment is relatively fast. In about two weeks it's completely done. We have two or three people involved in the maintenance aspect of the product

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 documentation for beginners is easily available online and very useful."
"It offers enhanced and efficient communication between the requester and the four pillar EDR through an online chat platform."
"You can put information in or export it out quickly, which is very useful when you have weekly or monthly reports."
"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."
"Good stable and scalable solution."
"ServiceNow is a cloud-based platform, so people won't need to worry about investing on hardware to host it. Being on the cloud, it is available 24x7. It's scalable, stable, and multifeatured, with a straightforward setup and good technical support."
"What I like the most is the functionality, it's features are rich, and there is a high degree of compliance with IT standards."
"ServiceNow is easy to use."
"Very easy to implement and to respond to my clients' needs."
 

Cons

"We have noticed that sometimes we have a delay in action on technical support issues due to time differences."
"In an upcoming release, there should be more administration tools."
"The solution’s user interface could be improved and given a better design."
"It should enhance its offerings by providing the chance to obtain course certifications at an affordable fee."
"There's always a room for improvement in terms of the ServiceNow UI. For customers, the UI is something that is a continuous improvement."
"Complexities in the organization made the initial deployment complex."
"The asset management application could be improved. They have a lot of the infrastructure built, but it does not come with already made compatibility with some of the most popular vendors, such as Cisco and Microsoft. You have to fix it yourself."
"They could improve license management, particularly when integrating different applications or toolsets."
"The solution could improve by making the CMDB integrate with a CI better to allow it to be seen across multiple platforms."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The platform offers a free trial, by providing a free developer instance once you sign up."
"For large-scale companies, the cost of ServiceNow is not expensive, but for small and mid-scale companies, it is higher."
"It is very expensive because it is a big organization. You have to pay for additional things."
"The solution is expensive."
"The cost is quite high."
"ServiceNow is a leader and its pricing is quite good, quite competitive... Sometimes some plugins are not priced reasonably but, generally, the platform itself, its modules, are priced reasonably."
"Isn't pricing always too much? We really do chafe at the ITIL licensing. ITOM is also pretty expensive."
