"So the solution has a really great licensing module, and they're constantly keeping up with the newest trends."
"Data in reports and dashboards are easily accessible."
"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."
"In the Service Portal, the widget concept - and the way we have developed our widget - is pretty simple. We can leverage a lot on top of it."
"If you stick to the out-of-the-box solution, it's an easy setup."
"We always get good support."
"The most impactful feature in our day-to-day operations is the ticket status, which provides crucial visibility into the progress of each resource or incident."
"The feature that I have found most valuable from ServiceNow is the ability to assign sub-tasks to different teams, including problem tickets and the regular and chain tasks."
"Within our organization, we're not finding really any major issues with scalability and things of that nature."
"There is room for improvement in the purchasing module. There are things I would change in that. Also, the automation components, like having the contracts, scheduling, and notifications embedded into the application, which they've been promising to do since 2014."
"One area that could use improvement is the deployment of Flexera agents."
"The hardware and connectors in the product have certain shortcomings where improvements are required."
"They could improve their reporting. I'd particularly like them to allow you to schedule it."
"There should be fewer clicks and faster integrations between solutions."
"When we are using the solution on mobile phones on their networks the performance is reduced with a delay of approximately 8 seconds. There is less delay using the desktop computers connected to the WiFi or to the network directly."
"Vulnerability management could be improved. Also, integration with tools such as Microsoft Defender ATP needs improvement."
"There are a few things that it needs to improve, like automation of most things out-of-the-box. For example, when it comes to cloud management, we are still going with manual intervention. Instead of that, if we had an out-of-the-box feature available, that would be great."
"When it comes to reference fields, there are some limitations where you aren't able to use them, like in relationship queries. In Remedy, when you click a menu, you get options directly, whereas here, if you use a reference field, it points you to a different form. So the UI experience totally changes for the end user."
"I am interested to see the firm's strategic plans for Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML), and how the particular areas it will expand on from its existing investments (that feature, for example, in its ITSM Pro and CSM Pro modules)."
"The visuals are the one area where there is opportunity for improvement."
"The user interface for accessing assistance sometimes disconnects."
