"The asset management tools are very valuable."
"It is a very stable solution."
"It is a stable solution. I have not experienced any system outages during my time using the solution."

"As a product, ServiceNow IT Operations Management is pretty strong, and it can discover non-IP devices."
"It's easy to set up."
"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 most valuable thing I have found is the cost saving recommendations"
"The solution is useful for cloud transparency and visibility in reports and dashboards that I have generated, especially the pre-populated dashboards."
"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 solution is good for cloud cost management."
"The pricing is rather competitive right now."
"It's stable. For report presentation, it's been fast."
 

Cons

"ServiceNow could be more prescriptive on how customers can leverage some of the benefits."
"The solution’s licensing cost could be improved."
"The product needs to add a workflow insight tool."
"The pricing of some modules is higher because they are sold in packages. If we need something specific, we cannot take it individually."
"Lacks the ability to do its own monitoring."
"Regarding ServiceNow, there is room for improvement in terms of customization, particularly in the area of self-customization."
"It should have better integrations with other solutions."
"I advise others not to customize a lot while using the solution."
"It would be helpful to have a mobile version or a tablet version, especially for people who are outside of the office."
"The Perspectives feature could be better."
"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."
"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."
"I would like to see better integration from CloudHealth to create easier setup and implementation."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The cost of ServiceNow is much higher."
"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."
"There are additional costs, you have to pay more for everything."
"We obtained discovery licenses at about seven dollars Australian per unit, which we found to be reasonable and competitive."
"ServiceNow IT Operations Management is a costly solution. I'd rate the price at ten, on a scale from one to ten with one being the lowest and ten being the highest price. Some clients do have a problem with the price, but most find that the solution is worth the cost."
"The solution offers yearly licenses and a subscription model for add-on features."
"The pricing is high and may be excluding the small to medium-sized enterprise businesses."
"It is expensive. It is around 10 Euros per server per month."
"The pricing is competitive and while other products are good they are considerably more expensive."
"There could be flexibility in pricing for the product."
"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."
