ServiceNow Reviews

We use this solution mostly for ITSM, but we also have customers who use it for customer service management and item discovery.

The features I found most valuable in this solution are usually also found on other platforms like the Visual Task Boards.

For change management, I find the CAB workbench very useful. I haven't seen any other solution that has a CAB workbench or advanced automated solutions for a change advisory board. That's one of the perks of ServiceNow. Other perks include the Visual Task Boards and the Virtual Agent. ServiceNow also has the Workflow Engine which works very well and is very intuitive. Some of the development tools give you a lot of freedom in terms of changing processes. That's what we like.

This solution needs to be improved for global use. Currently, it's very oriented to the processes and needs of the US customer base, like their compliance solution or GRC (Governance, Risk, and Compliance), and not so much for customers from other parts of the world. Some users may like the things that ServiceNow is improving, but those are very oriented to users based in the United States and Europe.

In Latin America which is the geographical region we work in, it's not very useful. Some of the customers are more interested in other solutions. Sometimes they put aside ServiceNow because it is focused on the needs of the customer base in Europe and the US. This is one of the disadvantages I see.

Another disadvantage is the level of maturity that the customer has to have to get value from a solution like ServiceNow. The customer needs to have a great level of maturity. A company that is starting its journey with ITSM wouldn't find ServiceNow very useful, because sometimes there's a considerable amount of code you need to know to be able to implement ServiceNow. This will depend on the complex needs that a customer may have, for the customer to find ServiceNow as a useful solution. Depending on the level of maturity they have, they would need that amount of customization. I don't see the need for coding as a problem. The problem I see is that the level of maturity that the customer needs to have is high.

There's quite a lot of features in ServiceNow. Currently, we haven't had any sort of need that ServiceNow and the features that they already have, don't resolve. There's no feature that I can think of right now that I'd like to be added in the next release.

There are some guidelines that ServiceNow has that automate the implementation, but they're available only for ITSM and ITOM. It would be good if those automated guidelines are also made available for other ServiceNow solutions like customer service management, configuration management, and asset management.

Another area for improvement is the lack of clarity in terms of how this solution is licensed. It is usually very complicated for customers to know how they are being charged for the licenses that they consume. In most of the ServiceNow solutions, this problem is persistent.

There might be some bias because we are ServiceNow partners and we're also Freshworks partners. We're not users. We're partners. We implement both solutions for customers.

We used cloud-based deployment.

We've been working with ServiceNow for quite some time.

I evaluated BMC.

Some of the customers are interested in Acquire when they think of ServiceNow.

My advice to others looking into implementing ServiceNow is for them to really know what the objective of the implementation is: what they're trying to fix and what problem they're trying to solve. They have to be very conscious of these things because if they are not, the solution may not be a good fit. It's going to be too big of a problem to solve. They need to have a high level of maturity to get everything they need from a platform like ServiceNow.

I'm rating this solution a nine out of ten.

I am a customer of ServiceNow. We use the solution for operations and ITSM.

ServiceNow has a user interface that mimics a web-base and is easy on the eyes however, it is too fluid. Currently, we are unable to audit notes. ServiceNow should be more organized and structured so it enables us to classify notes. 

I have been using ServiceNow for two years.

The solution has good stability.

ServiceNow is scalable.

Due to some of the complexities within our organization, the initial deployment was complex. The tool itself is straightforward.

The deployment of ServiceNow was completed in-house.

We compared ServiceNow with Remedy. 

I recommend ServiceNow to commercial or private companies. I would rate this product a 10 out of 10.

I use it for incident management. For the part of the business I'm in, it is used for end-user incident management. There are other parts of the business where it is also used for customer data collection or customer engagement data collection.

Remote access is most valuable.

It needs a more intuitive interface for identifying issues. A bit more natural language processing or something like that would be helpful in understanding my queries.

There should be greater integration with other enterprise applications. We're using Microsoft, Oracle, and other applications, and it would be good to have a greater integration on some of the immediate hiccups that you have with these services. It doesn't mean that when we have a problem with using another application, ServiceNow should be able to fix it, but ServiceNow should be able to alert us to things. There should be a bit more automation or integration.

I have been using this solution for at least five years.

It is stable.

It is scalable.

We had minimal tech support.

I am using it in a managed IT environment. As far as I know, it was satisfactory, but our department manager would know more.

I would recommend this solution because I make good use of it. I would rate it an eight out of 10.

My primary use case of this solution is for tickets.

ServiceNow has helped us a lot because it helps us track our tickets, and rather than having to take notes of changes and updates, we can access all the information with a TP number.

An area for improvement would be the accessibility of downloaded and compressed files.

There are no issues with stability that I know of.

I found the initial setup to be straightforward, and it should be relatively easy for anyone to navigate it with a little help.

ServiceNow is close to perfect, it delivers exactly what is needed in terms of keeping track of information in our records. I would give it a score of eight out of ten.

We primarily use the solution for IT Operational Management.

Everything about the schema, including the design of ServiceNow, is great. 

It's scalable. That's what attracts me most. 

You can configure it to fit your client's requirements. You can extend your functionalities, and then the workflow.

The stability is very good.

It's moving at a very fast pace. It is difficult for developers or engineers to keep up with it. That's the only issue. 

For the customer it's expensive. 

I've been using the solution for seven years or so. It's been a while. 

The stability is great. There are no bugs or glitches. It doesn't crash or freeze. 

The solution is scalable. It's easy to expand if you need to. You can use it no matter the size of your organization - from small to large. 

We haven't had any issues with technical support. We are satisfied with the level of service on offer. 

The initial setup is excellent. There are no issues dealing with the implementation.

It's very expensive, and if care is not taken, competitions can quickly come and take over the space by offering better pricing.

We use both cloud and on-premises deployments. 

I'd rate the solution at a ten out of ten. They're doing what you need to do. They provide a roadmap, which is good.

ServiceNow can be used for service requests and change management.

ServiceNow is easy to use.

I have been using ServiceNow for approximately five years.

The solution could improve by being more stable.

The support of ServiceNow is good.

The time it takes for the implementation depends on the customer requirements. Sometimes it will take longer. The out of the box configuration is easy and simple.

We have five developers that do the implementation of the solution. 

There is an annual subscription to use this solution.

I would recommend this solution to others.

I rate ServiceNow a nine out of ten.

Your time-to-market, or TTM, becomes faster when you use ServiceNow. Even individuals that are not tech-savvy can quickly change processes and workflows in it. This can make the organization as a whole more agile. 

ServiceNow's mobile app should be seamless and it is not right now. Whatever I'm able to do through a laptop or a browser, I should be able to do via mobile. That would be a big advantage. 

I have been using ServiceNow for more than a decade. 

ServiceNow was designed entirely on the cloud from scratch and its competitors like HP and BMC are trying to catch up to it now. It has a beautiful interface and a single system of record. 

If you are just starting to use it now, take baby steps first. Then, when you understand how it can fit into and benefit your business, implement bigger changes. 

We use ServiceNow as a ticketing tool that processes and catalogs customer service requests in our organization.

There are many expansions available.

The solution could improve by making the CMDB integrate with a CI better to allow it to be seen across multiple platforms. Additionally, an option to easily make tickets private or not generally visible. ServiceNow has to set up the individual tickets and there is not an easy way for us to do it ourselves.

There are integrations we can do that requires outside people to help us expand, such as business continuity and other areas. It can be complicated to expand the solution which could be made easier.

I have been using ServiceNow for approximately five years. 

The solution is scalable.

I rate ServiceNow a seven out of ten.

We use ServiceNow for ITSM onboarding. We are customers and I'm a system analyst. 

The solution helps us to collaborate and it's great that it is knowledge-based. We make knowledge-based, easy-to-find information, and you can use the flows in ServiceNow. Those are the most useful features.

Performance could definitely be improved. There may be features I'd like to have that are not activated because of our licensing agreement. I would like to have the ability to access a Gantt chart.

I've been using this solution for five years. 

The solution is stable.

It's quite scalable, we have around 300 basic or IT users which is pretty much everyone in the company. 

Technical support responds very quickly and if there's an emergency, they'll give us a call. 

The initial setup was quite straightforward. We deployed internally with some assistance from ServiceNow who carry out the maintenance. 

This is a very speedy solution so I rate it nine out of 10 on that basis. 

The solution has the same drawback as that of the DMC remedy. The capital expenditure neeed to get the tool up and running is extensive. 

We are in the process of moving to a cloud-based solution. This and the issue of the solution's pricing should be addressed. 

The stability is good and has been improving over the years. 

I do not have experience with OME support and, therefore, cannot comment on it. The skill-set exists for supplying local support. Locally, inter-office, we have skills. There are those partners who invested in training people. I feel that the technical support has been improving over the years. 

I prefer the installation and configuration of ServiceNow to that of the competition. 

Getting the solution up and running is expensive.

I prefer ServiceNow to the competition because of its ease of use, installation and configuration. 

I rate ServiceNow as a six out of ten.
