Helpful for reporting and to do risk assessments

Within our group, I think five to six people will probably use the tool. The tool is mostly not used on an everyday basis. It is not used daily but weekly. I think the tool offers usability, and I think we can scale it. As far as our utilization is concerned, I think it is very scalable. It is very flexible. You can utilize the tool for various reasons. You can use the tool to look at your vulnerability scans and upload information. You can do risk assessments. You can do physical site assessments. I think scalability deserves five stars for sure. The scalability seems to be very easy to use and scalable and flexible.

Custom integration and reporting lead to efficient ticket management

There is a need for bug or error tracking in ServiceNow. Although there are child incidents or tickets, tracking primary issues or bugs within enhancements is not present. The reporting features in the new portal could be more user-friendly. While it provides options to minimize chart and image sizes, actual implementation doesn't always reflect these changes.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The security of the solution is very good."

"I have found the way they structure the workflow and the fact that it a progressive application is valuable for me. This allows me to be able to build it once and use it in multiple formats."

"A feature I found most valuable in AppSheet is its intuitive UI/UX design, as that makes the platform very easy for customers to use. The solution also has a drag and drop feature that's quite good. I also found AppSheet integration with the cloud platform to be quite good."

"AppSheet is easy to set up and easy to use."

"The solution is quite efficient, elaborate, sophisticated, fast, and easy to use."

"The tool's integration capabilities enhance our existing workflows and as far as the workflows are concerned, I think it is pretty seamless, intuitive, and interactive."

"The solution has been very user friendly, easy to use, and we are able to use many applications like Excel or Google sheets."

"The solution is pretty simple to implement."

"In my experience, ServiceNow's most valuable feature is its flexibility. If you have a DevOps or development team, you can customize it to meet your specific needs. The tool's dashboard categorizes incidents, making managing it much easier."

"The subsequent chain of tasks, I believe, is valuable."

"In financial management, this platform has the infrastructure allowing us to expand the way we want to. For example, it gives you many business rules and budget models that you can use to optimize your workflow. It does not put you in a box. Additionally, integrating this solution with other platforms is extremely easy to do."

"Consolidating multiple functionalities into a single platform reduces the need to invest in various separate solutions. ServiceNow integrates ITSM, CMDB, Discovery modules, and more into one cohesive system."

"We have found the service easy to use, although, we have ended up customising a lot of parameters."

"The look and feel is a valuable benefit for adoption."

"It is robust and very user-friendly."

"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."

Cons

"There needs to be an improvement in their operation vision. They need to see things more globally because at the moment they are very North-America focused. We do not always have mobile applications and the way we use them is slightly different in Africa from the way they use them in America."

"They only give a single sign-on at a very high cost."

"In terms of areas for improvement in AppSheet, I do many things with it, and I'm happy with its data features. The solution has good data features, and though some basic functions may not be there, AppSheet is good enough for me at the moment. I can use it in my business. I like it, and I'm still happy with it because I'm not using it intensively. I just use AppSheet for simple tasks rather than complex ones, though the solution has many use cases. In its next release, what could make the solution better would be more partners for integration, for example, integration with SAP, particularly plugins or APIs with more partners that it could integrate with. There should be an out-of-the-box feature built for integration with more partners."

"No improvements are required as AppSheet is quite efficient."

"They could improve by providing more language support other than English, integrate better with other databases, and provide a better UX."

"There are now a lot of low-code or no-code applications available on the web. AppSheet is working on that path."

"The solution needs to improve its SQL database capabilities."

"AppSheet should continue to make the tool's features easy to use, such as the ability to add additional notes or notifications."

"I know that discovery tools are not meant to be simple, but somehow, if they could make it more simple and robust, that would be great."

"It's a great platform, but there's still room for improvement. As the solutions stands now, you do need a lot of previous experience to use it. It would be great if they could develop some use case templates. This would be beneficial for a small and medium-sized businesses."

"The high price is a huge barrier in Portugal."

"We can't update bulk tickets using a simple query language. Jira lets us update hundreds of tickets with one command. In ServiceNow, you need to select each task separately to close them. The dashboards could also be more user-friendly. Monday.com has better dashboards."

"It's not user-friendly by default, but it can be customized to be customer-friendly."

"We don't have a huge amount of password reset requests, but the minimum package of resets that ServiceNow offers is much more than we need."

"It should enhance its offerings by providing the chance to obtain course certifications at an affordable fee."

"Change Management is the area I have found that this tool can be improved because there are so many fields which are missing, such as urgency of the customer request and how the priority is defined. These are some of the areas in which I found that BMC Remedy is much better than ServiceNow."

More ServiceNow cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is available at a low price."

"There is a license required to use this solution and it costs approximately $10 per user a month. I am paying $300 a month for 30 licenses."

"In terms of how much AppSheet costs, I'm currently on the free tier, but if I need to add more users to it in the future, I will go with the paid version."

"I chose this solution because it was cheaper than other competitors."

"I am from Brazil. For Latin American markets, ServiceNow is very expensive as compared to other vendors, such as VMware."

"The license model is based on a number of fulfillers (active users who play some role within the ServiceNow functionality). Therefore, you can serve as many end-users as you want, without additional costs."

"There are licensing fees."

"ServiceNow's pricing is comparatively higher than Helix's."

"It's sold as a less expensive solution, but it has to be highly modified. That's where you get into the cost."

"Certainly, from a product-platform perspective, the price is not too bad."

"The price is okay for us. It's reasonable."

"I would say it is moderately expensive, ranging from six to seven on a scale of ten."
