Faster time-to-market, makes organizations more agile
Pros and Cons
  • "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."
  • "Your time-to-market, or TTM, becomes faster when you use ServiceNow, and even individuals that are not tech-savvy can quickly change processes and workflows in it, which can make the organization as a whole more agile."
  • "ServiceNow's mobile app should be seamless and it is not right now."
  • "ServiceNow's mobile app should be seamless and it is not right now."

What is most valuable?

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. 

What needs improvement?

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. 

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using ServiceNow for more than a decade. 

What other advice do I have?

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.

Upgrade integrations available, scalable, but setting private tickets could improve
Pros and Cons
  • "There are many expansions available."
  • "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."
  • "The solution could improve by making the CMDB integrate with a CI better to allow it to be seen across multiple platforms."

What is our primary use case?

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

What is most valuable?

There are many expansions available.

What needs improvement?

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.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using ServiceNow for approximately five years. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is scalable.

What other advice do I have?

I rate ServiceNow a seven out of ten.

Assists greatly with collaboration and we can provide knowledge-based information
Pros and Cons
  • "Great that it's knowledge-based and you can use the flows in ServiceNow."
  • "The solution helps us to collaborate and it's great that it is knowledge-based."
  • "Performance could be improved."
  • "Performance could definitely be improved."

What is our primary use case?

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

What is most valuable?

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.

What needs improvement?

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.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using this solution for five years. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution is stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

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

How are customer service and technical support?

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

How was the initial setup?

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

What other advice do I have?

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

Which deployment model are you using for this solution?

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

A scalable, reliable, well priced solution with great integration capabilities with other tools
Pros and Cons
  • "We consider the integration capabilities of the solution with other tools to be a valuable feature."
  • "We consider the integration capabilities of the solution with other tools to be a valuable feature."
  • "It is annoying that ServiceNow keeps on changing back to Quebec every six months."
  • "It is annoying that ServiceNow keeps on changing back to Quebec every six months."

What is our primary use case?

We are using Quebec, which is the latest version of ServiceNow. 

We use ServiceNow as an IT asset and business management solution.

What is most valuable?

We consider the integration capabilities of the solution with other tools to be a valuable feature. 

What needs improvement?

The solution should have more of the latest version benefits, of which I have found only a limited number. It is annoying that ServiceNow keeps on changing back to Quebec every six months. Content should be added as soon as it changes. Flushing is upgrading.

I also wish to see new features added occasionally.

The performance analytics and services operation module should be addressed. It should be a free plugin for the recording dashboard. We are often in need of a report, such as how many users are using the service or the per hour platform. But, this requires us to install a new page plugin for a static change. I would find this improvement helpful within the next three days. 

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

It is a reliable solution. 

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

The solution is scalable. 

How are customer service and technical support?

Technical support is responsive. Once a person creates a ticket they get back to him quite quickly. 

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup was straightforward.

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

The license is on the basis of an annual subscription.

We are happy with the pricing. 

What other advice do I have?

The solution is cloud-based. We make use of an SaaS version. 

Of the many hundreds in our organization who are using the solution, 115 are using ServiceNow practice.  

I rate ServiceNow as an eight out of ten.

Strong platform capabilities, useful AI technology, and provides many analytic reports
Pros and Cons
  • "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."
  • "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 solution is priced for medium to enterprises sized businesses. However, it is expensive compared to competitors."

What is most valuable?

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.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using the solution for six years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The stability of the solution is very good.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

We have customers using the solution in medium to enterprise-sized businesses. The solution is not meant for small-sized businesses.

How are customer service and technical support?

The technical support we have experienced was excellent.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is really easy. Having a complex environment could add to the installation time but typically the solution can be up and fully operational in six to eight weeks' time.

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

The solution is priced for medium to enterprises sized businesses. However, it is expensive compared to competitors. Small businesses would have a hard to justify the price, it would not be cost-effective for them.

What other advice do I have?

Those wanting to automate all of your internal functional departments under one system platform I would advise before implementing this solution to train and educate your teams on the use of these types of solutions first. This will allow for an easier transition.

I rate ServiceNow an eight out of ten.

Integrates well, intuitive workflows, and responsive technical support
Pros and Cons
  • "I have found the workflows and integration the most valuable in this solution."
  • "I have found the workflows and integration the most valuable in this solution."
  • "The solution is lacking in the mobile application area that could be improved."
  • "The solution is lacking in the mobile application area that could be improved."

What is most valuable?

I have found the workflows and integration the most valuable in this solution.

What needs improvement?

The solution is lacking in the mobile application area that could be improved. Additionally, the configuration of the UI path could be made easier whether it is on mobile or web and their chatbot needs some improvement.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been using the solution for approximately three years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I have found the solution to be stable.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Most of our clients are enterprise size businesses.

How are customer service and technical support?

The technical support is very responsive.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup is easy.

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

The price could be a little lower for the solution. Many of my customers have issues with the licensing process, they have to make it easier and straightforward.

What other advice do I have?

I would advise others this solution is a great platform that can meet their enterprise code requirements but it is best to do a cost-benefit analysis before switching platforms.

I rate ServiceNow a nine out of ten.

I find it easy to use as well as easy to add plugins for new features
Pros and Cons
  • "It's more about the ease of use of ServiceNow. Plus, everything is there in a single platform. If you need any additional functionality, you just need to enable the plugins without even installing anything on the servers"
  • "It's more about the ease of use of ServiceNow, plus everything is there in a single platform, and if you need any additional functionality, you just need to enable the plugins without even installing anything on the servers."
  • "if I consider from the IT operations management side, ServiceNow is pretty premature on some things, especially the discovery, while the other tools like Micro Focus and BMC Remedy, those that have been in the market for quite some time. ServiceNow is evolving itself in the discovery piece of the future."
  • "If I consider from the IT operations management side, ServiceNow is pretty premature on some things, especially the discovery, while the other tools like Micro Focus and BMC Remedy, those that have been in the market for quite some time."

What is most valuable?

It's more about the ease of use of ServiceNow. Plus, everything is there in a single platform. If you need any additional functionality, you just need to enable the plugins without even installing anything on the servers. That's the most important thing. You don't have to completely restart the system itself as it is cloud-based so you just need to enable the plugin and then you're just ready to roll.

What needs improvement?

if I consider from the IT operations management side, ServiceNow is pretty premature on some things, especially the discovery, while the other tools like Micro Focus and BMC Remedy, those that have been in the market for quite some time. ServiceNow is evolving itself in the discovery piece of the future.

For how long have I used the solution?

We have been using ServiceNow for more than six years. Every six months ServiceNow releases a new version. Every time we have to get ourselves certified to the new version, as well as go through different new features that ServiceNow releases. We are partners for ServiceNow. So actually, it's one of the KRS for us to make sure that we are certified with their latest release.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I would say in terms of stability, it is 90% stable. There are certain things which I've experienced with my other customers. So I was not happy with that. So that's the reason why I'm putting a 90% for the stability.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Scalability for ServiceNow is good. I would say 100%.

How are customer service and technical support?

Documentation, I would say is not that good. I would say 80% in terms of the documentation. This is specifically from the IT operation. I cannot comment on the IT service management piece or the other parts of ServiceNow. In terms of the technical support, I would say 95% which is good.

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

I would definitely say that I recommend ServiceNow because I've also worked in the Micro Focus tools in the past for quite some time. When I compare it with ServiceNow it is not even close. I would say recommend ServiceNow as compared to the Micro Focus.

How was the initial setup?

The setup of ServiceNow is very straightforward. You just have to raise a service request with them and they get it all setup with any plugins that you request for it. So far, I have not experienced any issues.

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

The pricing is very good compared to its competitors.

What other advice do I have?

I would definitely say that I recommend ServiceNow because I've also worked in the Micro Focus tools in the past for quite some time. When I compare it with ServiceNow it is not even close. I would say recommend ServiceNow as compared to the Micro Focus.
