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."
"Will give us better control over asset management and technical debt once we can centralize all contract information."
"It's actually easy to understand."
"The most recent addition of SAM Premium is a game changer for many organizations."
"ServiceNow gives us a lot for free: workflows, organizational structures, service portal, forms, reporting, disaster recovery, and so on."
"For change management, I find the CAB workbench very useful. I haven't seen any other solution that has a CAB workbench or advanced automated solutions for a change advisory board. ServiceNow also has the Workflow Engine which works very well and is very intuitive."
"If you stick to the out-of-the-box solution, it's an easy setup."
"I find the incident management part to be the most valuable. That's how the service desk tracks tickets."
"Everything about the schema, including the design of ServiceNow, is great."
 

Cons

"We have noticed that sometimes we have a delay in action on technical support issues due to time differences."
"The utilization of AI in ServiceNow needs enhancement."
"The solution could improve by making the CMDB integrate with a CI better to allow it to be seen across multiple platforms."
"There's always a room for improvement in terms of the ServiceNow UI. For customers, the UI is something that is a continuous improvement."
"The customization that we are doing for the needs of our organization are difficult to do and could be improved."
"Direct support from ServiceNow is not very good. Most of the support comes from partners, and customers heavily rely on them."
"It should have more artificial intelligence for business and work capabilities. The community is not so active. There must be initiatives to make the community talk more and share more information."
"I would like the reporting aspect to be better, including the graphs. It could have some way for us to easily to export to a csv or spreadsheet so that if a graph cannot be provided by ServiceNow itself, we would be able to use other applications to create them. Also, if there was a feature that enabled us to interact with end users directly from ServiceNow, like an instant-messaging type of feature, that would be great."
"The solution is lacking in the mobile application area that could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"The CapEx version is great."
"The mandatory minimum is US$ 20,000 for licensing."
"ServiceNow is an expensive solution."
"There is an annual subscription to use this solution."
"Getting the solution up and running is expensive."
