Pros and Cons
  • "It is easy to use and simple to learn."
  • "The security policies could be increased."

IT support management is the most valuable feature and a very good product. It is easy to use and simple to learn. It has very good features.

The security policies could be increased.

  • "The time for deployment of ServiceNow IT Operations Management depends on many factors. It's a SaaS application, it should not take too long, but if you want to define the tool based on your processes, then it would take some time. It fully depends on the company's complexity. There are out-of-the-box product flows and if you want to use them, you can from day one. However, if you want to customize it and change it to your company's practices, then it will take more time. The setup could be faster."

A flexible solution that can be extended to a lot of areas, but it is expensive
Pros and Cons
  • "It is flexible. You can tune it, more or less, as you want."
  • "My managers would say that the price is too high. We wanted to also have the visibility version of it, but it's too expensive for us. Going for visibility would have doubled up the price."

What is our primary use case?

We are using ServiceNow ITOM Health. We correlate alarms from different platforms and then use it for incident management.

What is most valuable?

It is flexible. You can tune it, more or less, as you want.

What needs improvement?

My managers would say that the price is too high. We wanted to also have the visibility version of it, but it's too expensive for us. Going for visibility would have doubled up the price.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using this solution for one and a half years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It seems stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

It seems scalable. I'm configuring it and sending the events or the incidents to about 30 people.

How are customer service and support?

I have had one case or so, and their support was fine.

How was the initial setup?

It was easy to set up. The deployment was done in small steps. It took a few months to have it tuned and set up because a lot of different inputs had to be configured.

What about the implementation team?

We did it ourselves.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

It is expensive. It is around 10 Euros per server per month.

What other advice do I have?

It is a platform. So, you can extend it to a lot of areas. You should design it well from the start because it can do a lot. It would be good to have an experienced consultant come in and show what it can do to the management so that they can see the value of it. There are values in it, but sometimes, it's difficult for management to see them because they, more or less, think about the costs.

I would rate it a seven out of ten.

Responsive support, flexible, but discovery could improve
Pros and Cons
  • "The most important features of ServiceNow IT Operations Management are the discovery service mapping and orchestration."
  • "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."

What is most valuable?

What needs improvement?

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.

In an upcoming release, it would be a benefit to include the discovery of mobile assets.

A single platform that manages ITSM, asset discovery and service mapping but ootb reports needs to be more user friendly.
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution allows you to subscribe to the features you need and utilize CMDB, ITSM, and discovery on the same platform."
  • "The out-of-the-box reporting feature is not as user friendly as other tools."

What is our primary use case?

My company implements the solution both on-premises and in the cloud for clients. 

The solution is used to discover assets, their dependencies , service mapping and implement all required ITSM modules including CMDB and Asset Management on a single platform.

What is most valuable?

The solution allows you to subscribe to the all required ITSM modules , asset discovery and service mapping on a single platform, its guided setup provides easy implementation process and I found these features most valuable.

What needs improvement?

The out-of-the-box reporting feature has room for the improvement, it can be make more user friendly as other tools. 

Troubleshooting can be confusing if you are not well versed in scripting.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using the solution for two years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable and new versions are released twice per year. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

I found the solution scalable, it is now highly recognized in the industry and there are many compatible products available. 

For example, CyberArk and SCCM provides out-of-the-box integration with the solution. 

How are customer service and support?

For one client, we wanted to clean the CMDB excluding few records so we contacted technical support. Rather than assist us with the task, they provided written steps for completing the task without losing data. We would have preferred a higher level of assistance. 

For some errors I face, I have not found proper resolution in the available documents or through the community. 

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

Few of our clients previously used BMC Remedy and BMC Discovery but moved to ServiceNow for it's one plateform solution feature.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is easy once you get used to it. 

Initially, I found the solution's setup to be a bit more complicated than BMC Remedy and BMC Discovery. 

As I learned more of the solution's features, I became confident with installation and deployment. ServiceNow is a cloud based solution and you need to install a MidServer application to interact it with clients environment and data centers in cloud and on-premise. You can install more than one MidServers for an environment to cover all the assets and DMZ's as per the requirement. It's guided setup for step by step installation instructions gives an easy approach to implement it.

What about the implementation team?

I implement the solution for clients. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The solution offers yearly licenses and a subscription model for add-on features. 

What other advice do I have?

I recommend any solution only after proper assessment of clients environment and requirements and if you are looking for implementing asset discovery, service mapping, CMDB and most of ITSM module on a single place then ServiceNow is good to choose for. 

I rate the solution a seven out of ten. 

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

Hybrid Cloud

If public cloud, private cloud, or hybrid cloud, which cloud provider do you use?

IT operations management solution that offers stability and a valuable auto remediation feature
Pros and Cons
  • "The auto remediation feature has been most valuable. They have also introduced an AOP feature of ServiceNow that we are keen to explore."
  • "Even though they call it low code there are a lot of customizations needed, especially from an ITOM standpoint."

What is most valuable?

The auto remediation feature has been most valuable. They have also introduced an AOP feature of ServiceNow that we are keen to explore. They have also come up with a lot of anomaly detection and self healing through orchestration.

What needs improvement?

Even though they call it low code there are a lot of customizations needed, especially from an ITOM standpoint. We have the opportunity to pick elementary data but there is a lot of scope when it comes to training bots and the ML capability. I think this solution still needs to mature, especially from an ITOM perspective. It is still very difficult to train the bots to to detect anomalies.

The ML capability also needs improvement. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using this solution for three years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

This is a stable solution. I would rate it seven out of ten for stability. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

This is a scalable solution. 

How are customer service and support?

The availability of the contact center for high priority tickets is really good. If you are an ITOM user and you depend on a particular vendor to get a response, especially when it comes to new product features, there is a lag. 

How would you rate customer service and support?

Positive

How was the initial setup?

For us, the initial setup was straightforward but this does depend on your organization. If you don't have a proper CMDB set up, whether it is internal or outside ServiceNow, the ITOM implementation may not be very easy. 

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

This solution offers good value but comes at a very high premium. Pricing could be reduced by 10 to 20%.

What other advice do I have?

I would rate this solution an eight out of ten.
