Executive SummaryUpdated on Nov 3, 2024

ServiceNow and IT Care Center compete in the IT service management space, with ServiceNow leading in customization flexibility while IT Care Center is noted for its cost-effective all-inclusive licensing.

Features: ServiceNow allows extensive configurability for tailored business solutions, offers recognized ITIL processes integration, and is flexible for custom app development. IT Care Center's single license covers all modules, providing comprehensive coverage for small businesses, simplifies operations with integrated modules, and offers an easy-to-understand package reducing complexity.

Room for Improvement: ServiceNow users report challenges with complex customization, high licensing costs, and the need for API enhancements. IT Care Center could improve its traditional UI design, enhance its mobile responsiveness, and modernize its overall user experience.

Ease of Deployment and Customer Service: ServiceNow is highly adaptable with deployment in Public, Private, and Hybrid Clouds, offering broader flexibility. IT Care Center is deployed on-premises and public cloud, providing some flexibility but less than ServiceNow. ServiceNow generally has higher technical support ratings, while IT Care Center receives user support criticism during technical issues.

Pricing and ROI: ServiceNow commands a higher cost with fees based on usage and customization, considered high but justified by its features. IT Care Center provides a budget-friendly single license model covering various modules, which enhances cost-efficiency and predictability, particularly for smaller enterprises. Both platforms display positive ROI, with ServiceNow adding value through operational efficiencies and IT Care Center through direct cost savings.

Simple and quick to implement, easy to use, saves us time and money

This is a very flexible system, which is why I chose the platform. It is flexible with respect to our company processes and workflows, and this is something that is very important to us. The system allows us to configure simple forms and flows, and we use it when new employees are hired, when one transfers from one unit to another, or when one leaves the company. These are the main reasons that I use the functionality of the forms. IT Care Center has very much helped to simplify our IT service management. I have an SLA that commits me to 85% with the company. This platform allows me to provide services at almost 92%. It is very useful from this point of view. This product has helped us to reduce the number of IT tickets because after we have worked on a problem and closed the ticket, we send the user information on what steps we took to solve the problem. With the explanation, a user knows how to deal with the problem if it happens again. The reports also help us to reduce the number of tickets that we have. We look to see what the main reasons are for incidents and look at whether the same problem is recurring. This allows us to fix the problem in basic maintenance, and it has been very successful in helping to reduce the number of related tickets. Using this solution has helped us to reduce costs in two ways, both as a result of having fewer tickets. The first is that we have fewer employees; we have reduced our staff from five people to only three. Second, we have reduced the related hardware costs. We do not need to pay for as many PCs or laptops.

Structured workflows have improved SLA compliance and now support prioritized incident handling

I think the licensing and pricing of ServiceNow is quite expensive compared to other tools. For large organizations, it is acceptable, but specifically for small and medium organizations to track incidents or change requests, ServiceNow is quite expensive. Sometimes performance can be slow when workflows and integrations are configured for complex tasks. For advanced customizations or advanced features which we rarely use, the documentation is not up to standard. The documentation needs to be improved for advanced customization features. However, the platform is stable overall and the features are quite good. The user experience and performance concerns I mentioned are areas I want to be improved. When many workflows and interactions are configured, performance is slow. For the features it is providing, it is quite expensive. If these performance features are improved, we can easily pay that price and get the return on investment.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"For customer service, IT Care Center has helped us to centralize our daily IT activities in one platform; it has made our operations easier to use, more efficient, reliable, and available."

"ITCC has helped us to simplify our IT service management and has definitely helped in reducing our time for consolidating reports, classifying reports, and tracking the problem, tickets, issues, and resolve."

"IT Care Center enables us to configure simple forms and flows. It makes our daily customer-facing work very efficient and easy. For example, if we want to add some new flows or change something, we have the ability to do it by ourselves in our own time and manner. This makes it very efficient."

"It provides the ability to view all information relevant to a task. When you open a task, you can see all sub-tasks and the relevant information underneath it. You don't have to search for all the tasks and cases that are relevant to the same issue. The sub-task listing is the most valuable feature of this solution for us. We are also able to create workflows for things such as new hires and purchase requests. We are using it for onboarding new hires in multiple departments, and we are able to create workflows with IT Care Center. We have subsidiaries, and for every subsidiary, we have different rules. It allows us to put the name of the new hire and the computer and software needs for that subsidiary. Around 30% or 40% of our processes are self-service now. We have additional work to do, but we're getting there. I like the flexibility that IT Care Center provides for creating the forms. I can put the fields, values, dropdowns, etc. It makes things much easier, which is another advantage of this solution. When a user opens a ticket, there are certain values that he or she must enter in order for us to solve the ticket faster. For example, a user must enter his or her email. So, I can create a form with all the things that he or she must do, such as provide an email, phone number, etc. These are required fields. A user can't create a ticket without providing that information. So, it saves time and makes the work efficient."

"We managed to reduce costs by half by switching to IT Care Center, not including any professional services."

"It runs smoothly and all of the components are very easy to work with."

"We have a lot of automation running from our HR system to IT Care Center. When a ticket has been raised to us, we can notify hiring managers on the status of every employee. We also get notifications in Slack for every ticket opened."

"For a user to open a new ticket, it is very simple. That is an important thing. The system is available for users on the main desktop on their computer, so it is very easy to report tickets. It is very clear. Also, we manage the tickets with rules, according to subject and groups, so they are going to the right person in IT."

More IT Care Center pros

"One of the nice things about ServiceNow is that, if you have your process, you can design the ticket and the form according to your process."

"I like the workflow functions that are available in ServiceNow and the ability to actually integrate all of the information that you have such as travel tickets or assignment tickets for your team, onto your dashboard, depending on your setup, or if you create a ticket and a dashboard for your team."

"I can see a very good product strategy, we see enhancements or enhanced features in each of the releases, I see the roadmap is good and the technology underneath is also good."

"ServiceNow is close to perfect, it delivers exactly what is needed in terms of keeping track of information in our records."

"Your time-to-market, or TTM, becomes faster when you use ServiceNow, and even individuals that are not tech-savvy can quickly change processes and workflows in it, which can make the organization as a whole more agile."

"ServiceNow is a very good platform, but do not build up things too fast."

"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 or revisions because we're always working with the latest version and the features continue to improve."

"I really don’t think there is anything out there that even compares."

More ServiceNow pros

Cons

"They should have full integration with SSO services, like Okta, creating a full service solution."

"The UI screens could be a little bit more modern."

"Our business is quite interesting because we actually look at our staff based on their productivity. So if a case is created where we want to track the productivity of the user, sometimes we look at how many actual hours they clocked in to solve the case. We realized that it would take quite a lot of hours, which was unusually high. We want to look at how we can measure that against a baseline. For example, every user should resolve the issue within three hours. We want a certain baseline where they have to resolve the issue within certain times and if they don't, I would get alerted."

"IT Care Center has some room for improvement in regard to mobile. It doesn't have an application, there is only an adaptable web page, and that is less convenient."

"There is no such thing as a perfect solution and in the past, I have contacted support to implement new features."

"If there is such a feature, it would be very good for us to track how long it takes to resolve issues."

"There is no global support. With our previous system, we had 24/7 global support. We need much faster support. When I have an issue and raise a ticket, someone should call me back. They can also think about having object-oriented APEX so that the agents can easily create dashboards instead of having to learn the complete APEX language. This is something very important for us. We are using Oracle APEX for creating certain dashboards with KPIs. This is the visual platform that we use to see all the data, and it is very important for us because we get all the BI and data. Currently, we have a vendor who helps us with that because we don't know how to use it ourselves. We want to use it to make more dashboards with more KPIs for every department, but we cannot because we don't have the knowledge. We are very dependent on the vendor and the time he has for us."

"There is no global support. With our previous system, we had 24/7 global support."

More IT Care Center cons

"The reporting, which also includes dashboards, needs to be improved, and there should also be the ability to turn on and off portions of Project Management. Currently, as soon as you install the new version, you've got to go back there and make all the tweaks. There should be just a configuration file that goes to the new version. The Project Management module does not leverage the knowledge base the way it should, and there is no built-in ability to get to the articles. Resource management should be easier. It would be amazing if they can make resource management a little bit more graphical. There are other solutions that I've seen where resource management was a more visual experience."

"Before implementing this solution, you should have the ITSM model in place for chain management requests. That is a prerequisite because you cannot perform tasks without it."

"It is pricey, and for good reason."

"This solution needs to be improved for global use."

"I would like to see Advanced Intelligent Automation."

"I would like the reporting aspect to be better, including the graphs."

"It's missing monitoring capabilities."

"The solution’s pricing is expensive and could be improved."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"This product is very cheap when compared to other platforms."

"The licensing model is very flexible."

"We reduced our costs compared to our previous solution, which was really expensive. We managed to reduce costs by half by switching to IT Care Center, not including any professional services."

"Compared to other products in the market, pricing is reasonable. It does meet our usage and requirements."

"Buy it as one package, not as modules. That is from my knowledge and experience. Most of the time, it has better pricing. They have flexibility by price size in the negotiation."

"With SysAid, we paid for every end-user. If we had 100 end-users, we had to pay for each one of them. With IT Care Center, we can have as many users as we want. We only pay for the end unit. We have the asset manager and different models that we can use for the same price. So, it reduces 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."

"The mandatory minimum is US$ 20,000 for licensing."

"ServiceNow's pricing is comparatively higher than Helix's."

"For the modules we use, we found it competitive. I can't think of any costs in addition to the licensing fees."

"I know that it's not too bad because people continue to use it and they are happy to renew up their contract."

"Getting the solution up and running is expensive."

"This is a pretty expensive product, so the licensing could be better."

"It is an expensive platform."
