Helpful dashboard, supports offline capabilities for SAP, professional support, and a simple pricing model
I believe that this is the only product in the market that truly supports offline capabilities in an SAP environment. We have people going through all of their shifts without connectivity, yet it automatically later synchronizes well with SAP, without creating extra documents or anything like that. The ability to take ABAP code and automatically convert it to a mobile app and then adjust it to our needs is something that I haven't seen in any other low-code solution on the market, and it has been life-changing for us. I love how easy it is to manage the design of the process using drag and drop. I know they are working to make the developer experience even better, and I'm very excited about it. The modernizer element that converts existing ABAP business logic to the cloud-native mobile-friendly solution is a very powerful tool that I haven't seen in the market.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I love how they took the MIT Scratch concept and implemented it into the in-app backend. It makes the app creation so much more intuitive and easy to use."
"Since you only pay for active users, and since it gives you an immediate improvement in efficiencies, the ROI is very quick."
"The ability to take ABAP code and automatically convert it to a mobile app and then adjust it to our needs is something that I haven't seen in any other low-code solution on the market, and it has been life-changing for us."
"I believe that this is the only product in the market that truly supports offline capabilities in an SAP environment."
"In terms of scalability, I'm impressed; I'm happy with the capability of the Now Platform and I am positive that as time goes on we will be able to reap the real benefits of the platform."
"The incident management has been the most useful feature for us."
"It can integrate anywhere, and you can make any kind of workflow."
"I would recommend this product to businesses who are using multiple systems across different departments, and are looking for a single point to operate them from."
"At this point, over and above what ServiceNow actually is, the key is that it's really nothing but a web service. Whether it's a form or anything, the best part is that you can easily leverage anything of ServiceNow for any application anywhere just by calling the REST endpoints and handling the request messages."
"You can develop anything whatever you want on ServiceNow Now Platform."
"The solution has more products than being an ITSM tool. Big customers such as those from Telcom tend to like it. Some of our customers use AI-based chatbots."
"This is a great workflow tool that offers great support."
 

Cons

"The modernizer element should convert a higher percentage of the ABAP code, moving it from approximately 75%, closer to 100%."
"While we're not in a place of letting LOB analysts build apps, at some point, we may want to give them a bit more freedom - as long as we can limit their ability to harm the ERP data. I would like to see more tools pertaining to this area."
"ServiceNow is not open source, so there is a license you must pay. As for how much it costs, what I have observed is that it often depends on your subscriptions. Suppose that you go with some subscriptions such as IDSM or any type of package like it, then the license cost will be impacted accordingly. Similarly, the cost is also adjusted based on your headcount of how many users will be using it."
"The user experience could be improved. The current design of forms lacks intuitiveness, as there seems to be only one form available for all types of operations."
"The solution doesn't allow users to create custom tables, which would be a big improvement."
"ServiceNow Now Platform's automation process needs improvement."
"In ServiceNow Now Platform, UI is an area with certain shortcomings requiring improvements."
"The product should be integrated with Power BI."
"The product's UI is ugly, making it an area where improvements are required."
"The cost has room for improvement. It is currently expensive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is straightforward consumption based on the number of end-users."
"In my opinion, it is expensive. However, they do offer favorable licensing for charities, for example."
"The solution is expensive, and I rate it a ten for pricing."
"I would rate the pricing an eight out of ten, with ten being very expensive solution."
"ServiceNow is not open source, so there is a license you must pay. As for how much it costs, what I have observed is that it often depends on your subscriptions."
"The solution is expensive."
"I don't have much exposure to the costs attached to the solution. I rate the product's price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is the lowest price, and ten is the highest price since it is a costly tool."
"People seem to be buying the tool a lot. I think its licensing is okay."
"It's expensive and if you need some analytical views of your activity, there is an additional cost."
