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.

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.

Have reduced L1 dependency and improved incident resolution through AI-powered automation

To make ServiceNow better, they should reduce their pricing, especially because there's a lot of competition. Many customers have moved to ManageEngine because they cannot afford the license cost. The price should be reduced by at least 40%. The setup of ServiceNow is sometimes complex when new updates or versions are released. When they introduce something new, they should provide training to understand the new features and their functionality. We sometimes get stuck and have to call them to learn about the changes in the latest version. They should communicate the changes made from older versions to new versions, which features are not available, which features have changed, and how to implement them. If the communication part was handled properly, it would benefit us.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

"It also enables us to configure simple forms and flows. The fact that the system is very flexible for adding fields and other forms assists our customer service, as well as myself as the CIO, to easily view my SLAs and KPIs."

"All of my staff is quite familiar with the usage and we customize based on our daily needs and based on different profiles. As a manager, I require diagnostics on a weekly or monthly basis. diagnostics. There needs to be some reporting for management and for my customers' management as well. So we created our own template. All of our different staff were required to do their own tagging or own tracking of cases. We create our own templates. I create my own template for my own weekly and monthly reporting to management. It's quite flexible in the sense that we're able to add our own customized views. We are able to easily export all this information into a proper reporting structure."

"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."

"The most valuable feature is that this is a Cloud solution."

"Change management is most valuable."

"The thing that I like most about it is the easy integration with the CMDB. I'm able to look at the CMDB for applications and develop my assessments and attestations based on the application and point them at that application owner. So, I can really automate the whole thing."

"ServiceNow was the first true enterprise to service management platform."

"What I like the most is the functionality, it's features are rich, and there is a high degree of compliance with IT standards."

"The solution is easy to use, simple to make queries, flexible to configure, integrates well, and supports all of our companies needs."

"There are lots of modules around IT service management such as IT business management and human resource management (HRC)."

"The solution is stable, scalable and easy to use."

More ServiceNow pros

Cons

"I would like the solution to have a native application for mobile phones. While I have IT Care Center in my mobile, it is not a pure application, like Outlook or Teams."

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

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

"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."

"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."

"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."

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

"It's moving at a very fast pace. It is difficult for developers or engineers to keep up with it. That's the only issue."

"The solution could improve by being more stable."

"I have enjoyed all the features. There is not any feature that I have missed or didn't have."

"For me, there's a real opportunity, especially within the IT Service Management suite, to give a much better overall view of the workflow that individuals have across the different applications. At the moment, a lot of information is quite siloed in the different tables in ServiceNow."

"The major area for improvement for our needs would be monitoring the metrics of the times to acknowledge and resolve issues and escalations."

"It's a little expensive compared to other tools."

"If you have advanced questions, technical support often doesn't know the answer."

"They can maybe improve the area of agile project management. They do have user storyboards and other things, but we kind of lean on Jira for that work. This is perhaps an area that could be looked at a little more."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."

"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."

"The licensing model is very flexible."

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

"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."

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

"ServiceNow tends to be a little bit more expensive as compared to BMC Helix ITSM."

"It is very expensive because it is a big organization. You have to pay for additional things."

"The price of this solution is expensive."

"They could be more competitive with their licensing."

"$230 per user."

"The solution is expensive."

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

"The first impact for the customer is that it is expensive, but do not forget that it is a solution that includes infrastructure; a single cost, easy to justify."
