Useful for automation and reporting and has open API for seamless integration
It was easy to integrate the tool with our infrastructure because all the APIs are pre-built. We just created a drag-and-drop prompt to integrate the solution with our infrastructure. I rate the overall solution a ten out of ten. Everyone needs to evaluate this solution according to their organization's needs because it can integrate well, but this depends on the technology you already have in your organization. It is an automation tool for detection and response, and while integration is possible, using legacy products could create issues. Some legacy products are closed systems and do not expose their APIs to other vendors. In such cases, you could run into problems. If you are considering this solution, check which APIs are available before you proceed. Otherwise, you may get the solution, but you must spend time on integrations. They provide integration support, but it's not automatic; it will take time.

A low-cost and open-source tool for incident and change management
If we encounter challenges while deploying, we raise incidents. These incidents are categorized by priority: high, medium, and low. We assign an incident number and notify the relevant teams to address the issue. For instance, if we experience a problem with Cloud services or any other issue, we…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution's valuable feature is its GUI. It has more than 450 connectors, which are excellent for connecting devices and automating integration. The solution has all the features we need. We deployed it in our environment, and it's fully integrated. Thanks to their open APIs, the seamless integration makes everything work well together."
"It is an out-of-the-box automated integration with our 20 departments. We perform L1 LiveOps automatically through the portal."
"Multiple projects use the ServiceNow tool because it is a low-cost and open-source tool."
"ServiceNow is a convenient platform to raise tickets, and the respective support team will contact us to resolve any issues."
"The product's most valuable features include the no-code capability for workflows and flow design, which makes it user-friendly, and the ability to perform advanced configurations."
"I will recommend it to others as it is an enterprise application used by large companies for ticketing purposes."
"The "follow" feature is really good. If the user is not responding, there's an option to "follow". Just click on the button, and it will automatically trigger an email to the end user."
"The product has a very simple UI."
"We refer to the setup and installation guide provided by ServiceNow. They have good documentation, which makes it easier to handle the process."
"The SOAR module of ServiceNow Security Operations is the most valuable feature"
 

Cons

"Reporting needs improvement. MTTR and MTTD metrics aren't directly available in playbooks and require manual effort to achieve."
"The reporting, especially custom reporting, needs to be improved. Additionally, it would be better if it could be hosted on Linux."
"One area for improvement for the product is the need to tailor and alter some codes for customization, which can cause issues during upgrades. It does not support customized operations."
"An area for improvement I observed in ServiceNow Security Operations is the need to maintain correct CMDB data because if you're unable to do this, you can't perfectly maintain the vulnerability data. CMDB data in ServiceNow Security Operations needs to be accurate. As I've been working on ServiceNow Security Operations for only seven months, I still need more time to try all its modules before I can give recommendations regarding additional features I'd like to see in the solution."
"It doesn't interact with things very well."
"The dashboard and playbook creation will need to improve"
"The initial setup is difficult."
"They should stick to the roadmap and continue to build plugins and integrations with other third parties, enhance the UI, and enhance the reporting. It's all good. They should just continue enhancing the releases."
"We'd like customization to be easier in terms of the UI and using the dashboards."
"The product is called SecOps, but it is not security operations in terms of SIEM solutions."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"If you're going to implement it on your own, there would be internal costs. If you're going to implement it through a contractor or consultant, you have to pay for that."

"It is an expensive product."
"Compared to competitor tools, ServiceNow Security Operations is more affordable"
