Significant enhancement in operations with powerful discovery and analytics, yet pricing structure poses challenges
ServiceNow IT Operations Management provides out-of-the-box dashboards. Along with the dashboard, it also provides the Operations Workspace, which is very useful for operations teams. There is a functionality called Performance Analytics, which we are also using to develop some dashboards for the senior leadership and operations team where they can perform trend analysis of alerts and events happening across the infrastructure and application landscape. These dashboards are really useful here. ServiceNow IT Operations Management's biggest plus point is that it is a platform. ITOM is just one module that ServiceNow IT Operations Management offers, but they provide seamless integration of ITOM with their other modules such as ITSM, where we can leverage the AIs for discovery, perform impact analysis, which essentially helps to enhance the overall IT operations and reduce the downtime and MTTR.

Improves cloud cost control and accountability but could explore further enhancements
The most valuable features of this solution include the drive for accountability because we can allocate cloud costs back to specific business units or teams through showback and chargeback. Additionally, reduced waste is achieved because we can identify unused or underutilized resources and receive recommendations for resizing instances. VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth's unified dashboard helps streamline cloud management practices by unifying everything needed in one dashboard, such as metrics, instance workings, machines, and servers. All of this in just one dashboard is very helpful to improve agility and resolve issues, especially for the workloads. VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth helps manage compliance risks by preventing threats, stopping attacks, detecting threats, and securing workloads or endpoints where customers will be using the endpoints. The positive impact on my organization is substantial because we can reduce waste, optimize expenses, drive accountability, and secure the budget from unnecessary cloud costs.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable features of the solution are discovery, cloud governance, event management, and service mapping."
"Provides everything in one solution."
"The initial setup is very straightforward. A person just needs to join a team to access the network and that's all."
"The scalability of ServiceNow is good."
"The solution is saving time by providing templates, reducing duplication in rule configuration, and offering efficient alert management."
"The auto remediation feature has been most valuable. They have also introduced an AOP feature of ServiceNow that we are keen to explore."
"It's easy to set up."
"I like the solution mostly for CMDB discovery."
"The solution is good for cloud cost management."
"The product is easy to use in terms of monitoring all the environments. It works for multiple clouds."
"The pricing is rather competitive right now."
"We use dashboards quite heavily, but one of the features that have really stood out is some of the policies we've created to alert us of particular situations."
"The solution is useful for cloud transparency and visibility in reports and dashboards that I have generated, especially the pre-populated dashboards."
"It's stable. For report presentation, it's been fast."
"VMWare Tanzu CloudHealth's unified dashboard helps streamline cloud management practices by unifying everything needed in one dashboard, such as metrics, instance workings, machines, and servers."
"The most valuable thing I have found is the cost saving recommendations"
 

Cons

"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."
"It should have better integrations with other solutions."
"The most complaints we have received from our clients are the solution's discovery aspect. I've heard a few concerns from the customers where we have to integrate with a third-party tool to make a full-fledged discovery along with ServiceNow. ServiceNow alone does not do the total capacity of the discovery. The discovery portion of ServiceNow IT Operations Management is not in-depth as what the customers are looking for. The information that it gathers from the assets is a little more limited than what other tools provide."
"An area for improvement for ServiceNow IT Operations Management is making service mapping and discovery easier for non-IP devices."
"There is a slower learning curve associated with the tool's scripting part. It is also not cheap."
"The setup and deployment could be simplified, and the pricing could improve."
"The solution's subscription model could be improved."
"The solution's licensing model is a bit complicated. It should be simple and easy for people to understand."
"CloudHealth needs to start building out Turbonomics-types of features that help the customers who are using CloudHealth really understand everything down to the server level, the virtual machine level."
"Some companies may not be capable of affording this product."
"It would be helpful to have a mobile version or a tablet version, especially for people who are outside of the office."
"They should provide information or tools to tune the cloud resources according to the environment size."
"The performance and accuracy of Cloud Health need to be improved."
"The solution doesn't offer the best functionality, unfortunately. Some features just simply aren't on offer. The solution needs to offer more product milestones."
"If you are working with the OS you need help and other connectors to get more information."
"I would like to see better integration from CloudHealth to create easier setup and implementation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is expensive. It is around 10 Euros per server per month."
"My customers pay for the ServiceNow IT Operations Management license annually. I'd rate the pricing based on value. ServiceNow IT Operations Management is a premium product as it has better features than competitors."
"The pricing is high and may be excluding the small to medium-sized enterprise businesses."
"The solution is costly compared to the products offered by its competitors."
"This solution offers good value but comes at a very high premium. Pricing could be reduced by 10 to 20%."
"The solution offers yearly licenses and a subscription model for add-on features."
"It has different subscription models."
"The cost of ServiceNow is much higher."
"The pricing is competitive and while other products are good they are considerably more expensive."
"I give the cost of the solution an eight out of ten."
"CloudHealth has a subscription-based model."
"The licensing fees depend on how big the company is. If you are a larger company then you have a better contract with a better price. The price is different for a small company."
"There could be flexibility in pricing for the product."
