Provides efficient process management features, but it needs more integration capabilities
We use AgilePoint for an idea submission application for our business processes. It allows managers to review and update the approved idea on the dashboard AgilePoint's most valuable feature is process management. We can integrate it with many applications including Microsoft, UiPath, and other…
Fabio QUINTANILHA - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"The solution's workflows are its most useful feature."
"I like the design and the integration capacity. It's also easy to use."
"AgilePoint's most valuable feature is process management."
"The initial setup of AgilePoint was very easy."
"AgilePoint has improved our organization by making form implementation easier and to plan for future growth."
"The most valuable feature of the ServiceNow Now Platform is the workspaces feature, which allows you to create customized workspaces."
"The primary feature we find valuable is data management."
"The integration with other tools is pretty good."
"The initial setup is very straightforward."
"It is a scalable and a stable platform."
"It can integrate anywhere, and you can make any kind of workflow."
"It's very intuitive and easy to use. The flexibility and user-friendliness of ServiceNow are key reasons it's such a popular cloud solution."
"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."
"They should add more information about functionality."
"The solution should be able to support Docker. This would help make scalability easier."
"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."
"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."
"The reporting capabilities need to be improved, otherwise we need to pay for performance analytics."
"The product's UI is ugly, making it an area where improvements are required."
"The tool has a lot of limitations."
"The number of API calls processed by the tool, specifically when the API calls increase, will cause a lot of load on the platform, and it tends to not work very efficiently."
"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."
"We would like to see AI used to automate some of the functionality in this solution."
"Simplifying the user interface for both users and administrators is key. It is not very intuitive."
"They should reduce the solution's cost and make it more affordable for buyers."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"Price-wise, AgilePoint is a cheap tool and a standard application for running analytics in an IT environment."
"It is more cost-effective than local tools."
"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."
"The price of the product falls on the higher side of the spectrum."
"People seem to be buying the tool a lot. I think its licensing is okay."
"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."
"In my opinion, it is expensive. However, they do offer favorable licensing for charities, for example."
"The solution is expensive."
"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."
"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."
