An affordable tool to create workflows requiring an easy initial setup phase
I use AgilePoint in one of the world's largest companies where I currently work. My team and I worked together and created forms, workflows, reports, emails, and a custom portal, which was a very difficult process. Sometimes, we use Dynamics 365 with Logic Apps and AgilePoint for some of our use…

Allows for seamless integration and sharing of common features
The initial setup is straightforward. There are limited access. If you choose not to use scripts, you can still configure the majority of the settings on the platform. The technical aspect of implementing changes is governed by change management processes. Even simple features require careful consideration of communication, documentation, and governance. Despite the setup being relatively straightforward and typically taking one to two weeks to complete once the desired outcome is identified, the implementation phase can often extend for a month or two due to various factors. I rate the initial setup a nine out of ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"AgilePoint has improved our organization by making form implementation easier and to plan for future growth."
"AgilePoint's most valuable feature is process management."
"The initial setup of AgilePoint was very easy."
"I like the design and the integration capacity. It's also easy to use."
"The solution's workflows are its most useful feature."
"At this point, over and above what ServiceNow actually is, the key is that it's really nothing but a web service. Whether it's a form or anything, the best part is that you can easily leverage anything of ServiceNow for any application anywhere just by calling the REST endpoints and handling the request messages."
"The most valuable features are the ease of use, stability, and the ability to change or upgrade seamlessly."
"It is a very stable solution."
"The ServiceNow Now Platform is powerful because it allows for seamless integration and sharing of common features. I can access various features from a single point, enhancing efficiency and usability. Its capability to integrate different user features while maintaining full integration is a significant strength of the platform."
"ServiceNow provides immense options for customization and scalability, allowing users to build and modify the platform according to their needs."
"The incident management has been the most useful feature for us."
"We work on it directly to send out tickets. It enables us to work seamlessly, we don't need to send them out manually. We can create a ticket and assign it in the system."
"The level of automation within the platform is great."
 

Cons

"It could be more flexible, but it's already a good solution for the designer."
"Some issues with AgilePoint's design, AI and UX are some of the major problems we deal with when handling our company's business models or processes."
"While the platform is good and it has a lot of options, I would like to see more alternative features in future versions such as connectors to IDM. Currently, they have only ADFS and Okta."
"The solution should be able to support Docker. This would help make scalability easier."
"They should add more information about functionality."
"ServiceNow Now Platform's technical support needs to improve."
"The reporting capabilities need to be improved, otherwise we need to pay for performance analytics."
"The solution doesn't allow users to create custom tables, which would be a big improvement."
"What I didn't like in the ServiceNow Now Platform is testing, particularly with Visual Studio. It had a bad integration with Visual Studio because you can't compile and run it from there. You have to debug on your own and then find out where the error is through test scripts. The testing component in the ServiceNow Now Platform isn't that great. What I'd like to see in the next version of the ServiceNow Now Platform is an improvement in testing and writing scripts, and if there was a feature to just run it from the modules, then that would be great, instead of finding the error manually and checking where it is."
"The UI and mobile UI need to be improved."
"Simplifying the user interface for both users and administrators is key. It is not very intuitive."
"There's always room for improvement, but I think the biggest challenge with ServiceNow is the licensing model. It's not very clear and changes frequently."
"The UI is not intuitive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is more cost-effective than local tools."
"Price-wise, AgilePoint is a cheap tool and a standard application for running analytics in an IT environment."
"I believe the pricing has changed recently. We had purchased one license per server, and it was about $2,000. It was a one-time payment. It's possible that they have recently implemented a new cost structure and now have yearly subscriptions."
"I think the price is reasonable."
"It's expensive and if you need some analytical views of your activity, there is an additional cost."
"It is expensive only."
"The pricing of this solution is done annually and it is very expensive."
"There are extra expenses for maintaining the product apart from the licenses."
"Price-wise, I would describe the product's cost to be more than the average, but it compensates for that with the functionalities that it provides."
"From what I heard, the license for the ServiceNow Now Platform is paid monthly, and on a scale of one to five, I'm rating it a three in terms of pricing, so it's on the cheaper side. I don't know of any additional costs associated with the ServiceNow Now Platform, apart from the standard licensing fees."
"ServiceNow is not open source, so there is a license you must pay. As for how much it costs, what I have observed is that it often depends on your subscriptions."
"Most of the features are included in the licensing cost. However, if we need extra plugins that are not available at the ServiceNow Hub or store, then we have to pay extra for those."
