Provides good stability, but it could be intuitive and easier to use
The product’s current version could be easier and straightforward to work with small IT organizations, similar to the older version. Its asset management feature has been significantly affected since the upgrade. Earlier, it was able to perform skill-based routing automatically. We could set up parameters within the system and view the details of the incident or a ticket. The same functionality needs to be fine-tuned in the new system.
Somnath Kand - PeerSpot reviewer
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

"Using their problem management process, we can use parent/child tickets and set up public views for our problem work orders."
"We use it to create and manage our work orders."
"The customization of the product and reporting capabilities have allowed us to provide upper management the graphs (data) they request that helps validate specific needs that we (IT) have."
"Our users have come to expect availability and quick responses, and we are able to provide this thanks to the Track-IT! solution."
"Track-It! has many features that help make us more efficient and cost effective as a department."
"Our efficiency has improved drastically due to a massive reduction in phone calls."
"We can manually capture the assets available within the location."
"The initial setup is pretty easy."
"It can scale well if you are managing IT assets."
"It's easy to integrate. For instance, yesterday we closed the integration with SAP for the IP business management module to manage the forecast of projects. We created an interface between ServiceNow and SAP to control projects for accounting and on the forecast of the project. It was really easy. We don't have any problems with ServiceNow at the moment. As a company, they are improving constantly."
"The Idea Portal and the PPM platform are most valuable. Their out-of-the-box dashboards and reporting are fantastic. I use them almost on a weekly basis. I have developed a couple of PMO dashboards for reporting. It is user-friendly. Everything is done through a navigation bar, and it makes things a lot easier that way."
"We used ServiceNow for change management, release management, and event management."
"HR Case Management and Customer Service Management are two of the key areas which clients are using."
"ServiceNow is a cloud solution. That fact was very important for us, that it is not an on-prem solution, as it reduces our internal cost of support."
"The solution's initial setup process is easy."
"The biggest feature is that it is cloud-based, so it's always updated, it's always current. We don't have to worry about patches, revisions. We're always working with the latest version."
 

Cons

"The area where we would like to see improvement is in the asset management module."
"The product’s current version could be easier and straightforward to work with small IT organizations, similar to the older version."
"Track-It! works great for a mid-size company, but anything over 700 employees, and trying to use Track-It! for any other areas of the business is difficult."
"Their self-service is not user friendly."
"The solution is cumbersome to use."
"There are a few items that I would like changed or extra features that could be added to our current version of this software, but those are all going to be addressed in a future software update."
"There are sometimes challenges with the portal being a bit confusing for new users. The implementation of the portal and workspaces is quite different, and improvements in this area would be beneficial."
"Some enhancements to the self-service platform would be helpful. That part is still a little barebone... Also, the mobile app is not bad, but it's limited."
"ServiceNow might need to improve its capabilities to integrate with third-party tools."
"ServiceNow doesn't cater to the Middle Eastern market."
"The solution should offer better security when it comes to storing data."
"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."
"Complexities in the organization made the initial deployment complex."
"It's a little expensive compared to other tools."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"BMC Track-It!’s price is reasonable compared to other products."
"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."
"While the option exists to pay for a monthly license, we are dealing with large enterprises and these typically involve multi-year licenses of ten or five years, at a minimum."
"It has a higher cost compared to local/regional solutions."
"For the modules we use, we found it competitive. I can't think of any costs in addition to the licensing fees."
"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."
"We are happy with the pricing."
"They could be more competitive with their licensing."
"Certainly, from a product-platform perspective, the price is not too bad."
