The solution is stable and has good support, but is expensive
Betty Blocks, when I started with it, was similar to a back-end platform with the ability to have a standardized back-office UI out of the box, which is perfect for a lot of situations. For more customer-facing UIs, we had to create the front end ourselves, building endpoints with HTML and JavaScript. Then Betty Blocks started in 2018 with the page builder. This allowed us to create drag-and-drop interfaces. That was quite cumbersome. Now Betty Blocks is entering a new generation of it - next generation forms - which should be a lot better. The most valuable feature is the back end. The way we can create action flows for things such as sending emails, creating PDF reports, or connecting to web services is very complete. I never experience a lack of functionality in it. The standardized back-office UI is said to be deprecated over time, which is a shame, because it is a real time-saver and is one of their strong points, only if it was kept up-to-date.

I am still using ServiceNow Now Platform. I have worked with Qualys in one of my customers, but not much. I wanted to know whether there is any module of Rubrik in ServiceNow Now Platform. I am an end user and do not work with the solution provided for ServiceNow Now Platform separately. I work with ServiceNow Now Platform. I have not worked with app development capabilities. Regarding the integration capability of ServiceNow Now Platform, I can say it is compatible with most of the technologies for my connectivity with other systems. I cannot comment on analytics insights, as I have not worked on it, so I cannot say it improved my service efficiency. I do not remember if I have worked with something different for the same purpose. My overall rating for this review is eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature is the back end."
"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 integration with other tools is pretty good."
"ServiceNow is highly scalable from a customization point of view, allowing for the building of portals, adding and configuring widgets, and designing workflows as preferred."
"ServiceNow Now Platform has one thing that no other tool offers, which is the dataset, specifically the management of the dataset."
"ServiceNow can document and produce a historical working tool that deals with projects themselves. The user interface is another strong suit."
"ServiceNow provides immense options for customization and scalability, allowing users to build and modify the platform according to their needs."
"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."
"It is an absolutely scalable solution."
 

Cons

"I would like to see full integration with AI."
"What I find lacking in the software is its ability to query the database."
"In many cases, they make choices where flexibility is a little bit degraded, but if you leave everything open and the flexibility is great then the usability is a little bit less."
"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. Suppose that you go with some subscriptions such as IDSM or any type of package like it, then the license cost will be impacted accordingly. Similarly, the cost is also adjusted based on your headcount of how many users will be using it."
"ServiceNow Now Platform's technical support needs to improve."
"The basic reporting system is rather static."
"The initial setup requires a lot of customization based on the individual company's processes."
"The UI and mobile UI need to be improved."
"When it comes to integration, it can be complex compared to other tools I'm currently using."
"The licensing for this solution, with respect to the user, needs to be improved."
"The UI is not intuitive."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing structure that we have been working with was based on a number of blocks."
"The pricing is quite high, but the pricing is also not very transparent."
"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."
"People seem to be buying the tool a lot. I think its licensing is okay."
"I don't have much exposure to the costs attached to the solution. I rate the product's price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is the lowest price, and ten is the highest price since it is a costly tool."
"The product is very expensive."
"The solution is expensive, and I rate it a ten for pricing."
"It's expensive and if you need some analytical views of your activity, there is an additional cost."
"It is expensive only."
"Pricing is based on the number of users and user licenses, but the product is 20% to 30% more than the competition."
