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.

"The main reason that people use ServiceNow is that performance is very good."

Cons

"A key area for improvement is to revamp outdated components such as HipTest publisher."
"I would like to see better customer support."
"Another kind of deployment might be useful, perhaps an option to install the tool in a local deployment."

"A key area for improvement is to revamp outdated components such as HipTest publisher."
"The analytics should be more readily available on the base product."

"The Playbooks feature is useful for visualizing steps in a process, however, it lacks support for rollbacks in case of complex customer processes."
"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."
"The solution's user interface is very average, and it needs to be more enriched and user-friendly."
"The product's UI is ugly, making it an area where improvements are required."
"The product should be integrated with Power BI."

"It's expensive and if you need some analytical views of your activity, there is an additional cost."
"The pricing of this solution is done annually and it is very expensive."
"The price of the product falls on the higher side of the spectrum."
"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."
"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."
"Pricing is based on the number of users and user licenses, but the product is 20% to 30% more than the competition."
"The solution is expensive, and I rate it a ten for pricing."
