Boosts efficiency and significantly reduces operational costs
They handle all the training and implementation work, making it very easy to use. It integrates into Slack and connects with ServiceNow effortlessly. The only limitation is getting all the service requests or features in ServiceNow that it can learn. Anyone can use it through Slack by simply asking questions to receive answers. We partnered with them to build a Workday integration for requesting and checking time off. They are expanding across the enterprise as a co-pilot, integrating with HR, finance, Keeper, and Salesforce. We also use their communications module, which allows scheduled communications to be sent through Slack or Teams. These communications are personalized for each recipient. When comparing email engagement rates of 3% to Moveworks' 12%, the platform reaches approximately four times more people.

Adopting flexible workflows with customized automation delivers measurable benefits
There are things that I would like to see improved in ServiceNow, such as the pricing, as it is a very costly solution compared to other tools. Additionally, its presence in the local market is very limited; in Pakistan, for example, I don't see any vendor or distributor of ServiceNow available. They need to increase their sales spectrum globally so people can easily access them and engage them for client meetings and more. From a functionality perspective, the features in ServiceNow are acceptable as, at the moment, the ITSM modules rank highly, being 13 plus Pink Elephant certified, which is a good aspect to have. When providing advice to users, I would suggest they consider making strategic decisions about their per user pricing since it is very high. In our region, people normally start with 5 to 10 users, but the per user price is quite steep. Moreover, ServiceNow does not charge based on data uploaded or downloaded, so they should reconsider their pricing and data policies to align better with the financial capabilities of the region.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Moveworks has reduced employee time because initially, employees used to spend so much time going to the third party to do all those jobs, and now they can simply do it via Otter, which is Moveworks, and this has saved much time and provided accurate results as well."
"The solution saves us approximately three-quarters of a million dollars per year."
"Moveworks is a very good platform if you utilize it well."
"I like that it's always up and running."
"Consolidating multiple functionalities into a single platform reduces the need to invest in various separate solutions. ServiceNow integrates ITSM, CMDB, Discovery modules, and more into one cohesive system."
"Everything about the schema, including the design of ServiceNow, is great."
"Some of the valuable features I have found the solution to have are it can serve many different types of businesses, it has strong platform capabilities, provides application development, built-in predictive intelligence, and performance analytics reports."
"I think the technical support is pretty good. They can be a little bit slow sometimes, but overall I think they're good."
"It uses a common base of data and allows different types of records to pull from that same base of data."
"ServiceNow was the first true enterprise to service management platform."
"You can scale the solution."
 

Cons

"Moveworks can definitely be improved. Currently, we have to do most of the things on our own, such as creating UI and APIs for how things will work."
"More use cases can be added to the agent marketplace and the YAML or the DSL methods can be simplified, adding more methods to make it easier for us to create compound actions."
"ServiceNow's mobile app should be seamless and it is not right now."
"The contract module is quite rudimentary and doesn't support contract line items."
"Vulnerability management could be improved. Also, integration with tools such as Microsoft Defender ATP needs improvement."
"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)."
"Creating service catalog forms could be made easier."
"I know that discovery tools are not meant to be simple, but somehow, if they could make it more simple and robust, that would be great."
"ServiceNow's customization is not too agile in those cases; it takes a little bit of time."
"An area for improvement would be the accessibility of downloaded and compressed files."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It's sold as a less expensive solution, but it has to be highly modified. That's where you get into the cost."
"The pricing is reasonable and affordable, making it suitable for businesses ranging from small to large scale."
"ServiceNow's pricing is comparatively higher than Helix's."
"The first impact for the customer is that it is expensive, but do not forget that it is a solution that includes infrastructure; a single cost, easy to justify."
"The cost is quite high."
"The licensing cost is based on your partnership with ServiceNow and what you have selected for implementation. There is an annual license cost which is calculated based on your number of devices."
"Initially, the licensing model ServiceNow came up with was very good. But now, from a licensing perspective, they are changing their model day by day. It is becoming a bit expensive for customers."
"It is an expensive platform."
