Hemanthreddy Vakiti - PeerSpot reviewer
Data engineer at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Structured workflows have improved SLA compliance and now support prioritized incident handling
I think the licensing and pricing of ServiceNow is quite expensive compared to other tools. For large organizations, it is acceptable, but specifically for small and medium organizations to track incidents or change requests, ServiceNow is quite expensive. Sometimes performance can be slow when workflows and integrations are configured for complex tasks. For advanced customizations or advanced features which we rarely use, the documentation is not up to standard. The documentation needs to be improved for advanced customization features. However, the platform is stable overall and the features are quite good. The user experience and performance concerns I mentioned are areas I want to be improved. When many workflows and interactions are configured, performance is slow. For the features it is providing, it is quite expensive. If these performance features are improved, we can easily pay that price and get the return on investment.

Stable, easy to install, and cost effective, but it needs better integration and data management
It needs better integration with other tools like Jira. Better reporting and better data management are also needed. I believe the way they're structured is the flat file. So it'd be better if they actually used a database for the data storage, and a more robust portal. I would like more flexible reporting.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is user-friendly and simple to use."
"The solution is very easy to use; now that I've worked with it a little bit, I can find what I need rather quickly, and it was pretty easy to implement the solution."
"From my standpoint, it's the process flexibility."
"Within our organization, we're not finding really any major issues with scalability and things of that nature."
"It is easily configurable and has a good developer society online, available for any issues from the backend."
"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."
"The product is extremely stable, with no bugs or glitches, and it doesn't crash or freeze, making it very reliable and not problematic at all."
"The biggest improvement I see is that unstructured work, which would primarily be worked on within spreadsheets or within emails, is able to be centralized, managed end-to-end, and have that visibility and structure in ServiceNow."
"The two most valuable features are the portal and reporting."
"Absolutely, we have seen a return on our investment."
"It is more flexible than our current solution."
 

Cons

"It became kind of complex to set it up without a general lack of knowledge of the particular feature-function capabilities."
"An area for improvement would be the accessibility of downloaded and compressed files."
"There is a need to learn scripting because as in the case of all the ITSM tools, scripting is needed for customization."
"The licensing needs to be divided into tiers in order to attract lower-level users."
"The biggest complaint I have is that the ServiceNow search engine is not very robust."
"It's not user-friendly by default, but it can be customized to be customer-friendly."
"I find some features are difficult to use."
"We would like to have an Asset Management and/or Project Management feature enabled in this version and in the IT Service Management edition."
"It needs better integration with other tools like Jira."
"It's a very cost-effective solution, but it's not robust."
"Yes. Major system issues and outages during our implementation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Getting the solution up and running is expensive."
"There are licensing fees."
"Certainly, from a product-platform perspective, the price is not too bad."
"There is an annual subscription to use this solution."
"ServiceNow tends to be a little bit more expensive as compared to BMC Helix ITSM."
"In Tunisia, the companies find the licensing costs to be expensive."
"ServiceNow pricing is an art, not a science. The deal depends on how commercially savvy you are, which does make it something that is quite difficult to get right. It is most definitely an opportunity area for ServiceNow to improve and have more visibility around pricing of the different products within the platform."
"The platform offers a free trial, by providing a free developer instance once you sign up."
"The price is approximately $70 per agent, per month."
