Facilitates integration of test scenarios while needing modernization of components
CucumberStudio is primarily used for designing test scenarios and automating testing. We have implemented it in conjunction with our own routines for integration into our infrastructure CucumberStudio aligns with our strategy for data-driven testing. It supports our product owners in designing…
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

"CucumberStudio has a very user-friendly interface."
"CucumberStudio aligns with our strategy for data-driven testing."
"The best thing is that a person without knowledge about the program can easily understand what happened in our testing process."
"The URL is very useful, and it has a very good UI for deploying information of the scenarios created."
"CucumberStudio aligns with our strategy for data-driven testing."
"The data table that helps in converting a single script to multiple test cases is very helpful."
"The solution is stable."
"Within our organization, we're not finding really any major issues with scalability and things of that nature."
"The flow designer for application development is the most valuable. The newest version of flow designer allows us to develop applications quite fast. We can have custom and mobile applications. It has an interface for mobiles, and it also has a good reputation."
"ServiceNow is a very powerful tool that can perform a lot of different functions."
"It enables us to meet SLAs, track issues across the environment, and report those issues."
"I like that it's always up and running."
"​The workflow capability for easy setup is powerful."
"The workflow makes things extremely efficient and it improves effectiveness."
"ServiceNow was the first true enterprise to service management platform."
 

Cons

"I would like to see better customer support."
"The reporting needs to be improved."
"Another kind of deployment might be useful, perhaps an option to install the tool in a local deployment."
"I think it would be better if we could also do the reporting with CucumberStudio."
"A key area for improvement is to revamp outdated components such as HipTest publisher."
"A key area for improvement is to revamp outdated components such as HipTest publisher."
"There are Virtual Task Boards in the tool in the latest releases. There are many of them in the Scaled Agile Framework. There is some room there for improvement. It's really quite promising but, at the same time, it could be improved and I believe it will be improved soon."
"Their cloud management is also not that great compared to other products."
"The user interface could be much improved, and the developer tools and sets can be improved greatly, they are lacking."
"We would like to have an Asset Management and/or Project Management feature enabled in this version and in the IT Service Management edition."
"This solution needs to be improved for global use. Currently, it's very oriented to the processes and needs of the US customer base, like their compliance solution or GRC (Governance, Risk, and Compliance), and not so much for customers from other parts of the world. Some users may like the things that ServiceNow is improving, but those are very oriented to users based in the United States and Europe."
"The level of complexity and the level of discovery are the two areas that can be improved. Its UI needs to evolve. They focus a lot on cool colors and other little things, which don't bring value in terms of functionality. They need to focus less on presentation and more on the functionality within the UI. Its discovery mechanism should be improved. There is a component in ServiceNow that discovers the assets, but it doesn't do an immediate discovery, and there is a lag. If I want to open a ticket for a laptop or an asset, that asset needs to exist within ServiceNow for me to be able to say that I need to have its disk space or memory increased. It is referred to as a CI or configuration item in ServiceNow. Sometimes, ServiceNow doesn't discover these items, and as a result, I cannot open a ticket and tag that system or asset. If a system was introduced to the environment last week and it is still not listed, it becomes a problem. I will either have to wait or manually enter that system or asset. So, if I have a laptop with only 8 GB of memory and I want to request 16 GB of memory, I won't be able to do that in ServiceNow because my system or asset hasn't been discovered yet. Discovery is not immediate, and there is a lag."
"There are sometimes challenges with the portal being a bit confusing for new users."
"The licensing needs to be divided into tiers in order to attract lower-level users."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"There is an annual subscription to use this solution."
"ServiceNow pricing is an art, not a science. The deal depends on how commercially savvy you are, which does make it something that is quite difficult to get right. It is most definitely an opportunity area for ServiceNow to improve and have more visibility around pricing of the different products within the platform."
"It has a higher cost compared to local/regional solutions."
"The price is okay for us. It's reasonable."
"It is very expensive because it is a big organization. You have to pay for additional things."
"This is a pretty expensive product, so the licensing could be better."
"The cost is quite high."
"The setup cost is high compared to others, especially when the scope is not fixed."
