"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."
"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."
"We are able to create an internal price of the product that we can then sell to clients. We get the cost plan at a good discount and then resell it with a mark up to our enterprise-level clients. This flexibility in pricing is one of the solution's best features."
"This solution is fast and very easy to understand, even if you are not a technician."
"The pricing is rather competitive right now."

Cons

"Service mapping is pretty limited."
"Even though they call it low code there are a lot of customizations needed, especially from an ITOM standpoint."
"Service Mapping is a time-consuming process. The time and effort versus the benefits are very difficult to articulate to customers."
"The product needs to add a workflow insight tool."
"An area for improvement for ServiceNow IT Operations Management is making service mapping and discovery easier for non-IP devices."
"The security policies could be increased."
"The solution's licensing model is a bit complicated. It should be simple and easy for people to understand."
"The pricing of some modules is higher because they are sold in packages. If we need something specific, we cannot take it individually."
"They should provide information or tools to tune the cloud resources according to the environment size."
"The export features regarding CSV files and specifically around identifying savings plans have room for improvement, as well as the drill-down features for reservation utilization."
"The Perspectives feature could be better."
"If you are working with the OS you need help and other connectors to get more information."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to see better integration from CloudHealth to create easier setup and implementation."
"It would be helpful to have a mobile version or a tablet version, especially for people who are outside of the office."
