Almost all customers have reduced their response time, which is the most important benefit, and we have brought tasks that previously took more than 30 minutes or one hour of execution down to a few minutes.

One of the most valuable aspects of ServiceNow CMDB is its user-friendly interface and high degree of customization at the user level.

We were previously using spreadsheets to keep track of everything. ServiceNow CMDB has enabled us to consolidate all this information into one place, which helps with audits and reporting. It also improves visibility.

The CMDB for us is fed by our discovery tools, and it lets us be able to track the changes that we make to any incidents or escalation points that we have associated with a CI.

The most valuable feature of ServiceNow CMDB is that it provides transparency and tracking of CI usage across multiple process owners or service owners.

One important element is automation. We can back up and manage multiple configurations. It also enables password self-service.

Now with Moveworks, which is a new solution for ServiceNow, the UI integration with that makes it difficult to put more improvements on that and see other future enhancements.

The pricing of ServiceNow products is suitable for large companies; it is a bit expensive for medium ones.

ServiceNow CMDB could be easier to use. Beginners don't always understand the features. It would be helpful if ServiceNow offered more training or self-guided courses where people could learn to leverage the platform better. I've used ServiceNow for a long time, but I see new users struggling with these processes. There's a steep learning curve.

In general, the pain points are related to ServiceNow. There is a lack of development. ServiceNow is not a true configuration management tool. So, a lot of development is needed to get it to be the kind of tool that you would like it to be. It serves as a platform, and you only get out of it what you invest in terms of development. So, CMDB on its own isn't quite robust until you actually have a CMD project to make it robust. The same thing is there with asset management and all other parts of it. Out of the box, it's not competitive with a like-for-like application.

If you select any CI, the associated applications with that CI should also be made available for users since, currently, the tool lacks such a feature.

We have various service levels and SLAs for our customers like platinum, gold, etc. Each SLA has an associated hardware and computing configuration. We cannot define that in ServiceNow for each customer. For example, a customer with 100 servers might be in the platinum category while a client with 25 would be in gold.

It depends on the implementation, but the out-of-the-box product tends to be fixed on the support people. From a linear standpoint, I would like to see a certain number of fields on a table and a related list to describe the support personnel.
