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.

Featured Reviews

Venkat Sivaprakash

Management Consultant at Accenture

Has significantly improved document-driven workflows and reduced processing time across finance and HR functions

Automation Anywhere has evolved significantly and upgraded itself to provide agentic AI and AI-based automation solutions for document automation. The product has matured considerably over time. We can create workflows that can call an API. We can include prompts in particular workflows for ChatGPT-related functions, connecting to an LLM and RAG to perform tasks. For document automation, modern features are available to train documents, ensuring high accuracy and repeatability over time. The system is very easy to use. I recently completed a course in document automation, typically designed for people involved in coding and technical aspects. Though I understand coding comprehensively, I don't do actual coding. The course was very accessible. Currently, extensive coding isn't necessary due to the hybrid model incorporating GenAI aspects, low-code, no-code capabilities, APIs, and numerous pre-built objects in Automation Anywhere. The features include GenAI-driven prompting methods and workflow creation capabilities. In these workflows, we can create decision boxes and call APIs without coding. We simply pull objects, drop them, connect them, and add minimal coding when needed. The most crucial aspect isn't coding but rather sizing the automation and fleshing out the details. Automation Co-pilot takes notes and performs automated analysis. It can extract details from videos, summarize conversations, and provide detailed information. During calls, it identifies instructions and performs tasks such as preparing reports and reconciliation. Automation Anywhere can also connect with Microsoft Co-pilot. Through Co-pilot, real-time operations can be executed, allowing direct interaction between vendors and automation through this component.

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

"From what I have seen with the IQ Bot, it is very impressive and I think it is going to solve a lot of problems that we face right now."

"Our workforce has limited capacity, and by adding this solution we can increase the amount of work coming in without adding to our workforce."

"Stability is great."

"The control room is the best part as everything can be seen and controlled from there, scheduling storing of credentials, and much more. I have used PDF extraction and other tools where data needs to be extracted and it works great at that part. I highly recommended this tool for automation."

"The infrastructure that Automation Anywhere has created is really simple; compared to other tools such as Power Automate, it is more user-friendly and faster."

"Automation Anywhere helped our organization to get our training and implementation needs successful by providing both community edition and partner edition. Automation Anywhere seamlessly handed off exceptions to employees from Automation Anywhere bots."

"We are able to create robotic tasks in a short time."

"We have automated over 2000 man-hours."

More Automation Anywhere pros

"Overall, the solution has helped to simplify our IT service management, with fewer calls giving us more time to work without distraction, better efficiency in the IT department, and cost reductions of 33 percent along with a 30 to 35 percent reduction in the time it takes to manage tasks."

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

"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."

"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."

"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 has reduced our costs by about $15,000 a year."

"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."

More IT Care Center pros

"The solution helps us to collaborate and it's great that it is knowledge-based."

"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."

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

"The ease of implementing the operational processes gives my clients the ability to streamline their day-to-day operations quickly, and allows huge visibility for managers and decision makers."

"I like that it's always up and running."

"ServiceNow helps to improve IT incident handling in a more comprehensive way, and the latest version provides extensive information, including AI that allows us to program it in such a way that our L1 support can be eliminated."

"I like the solution very much."

"Creating a ticket is much simpler in this tool. That is one big advantage. Also, the simplicity and ease of use are much better. I've used HPSM and it is very complex in comparison to ServiceNow."

More ServiceNow pros

Cons

"Their OCR is a bit expensive, meaning the IQ Bot."

"Since it is not an in-house solution for ERP systems or CRM systems, automating those things requires additional effort."

"Reliability and error handling should be improved."

"The inclusion of word packages would help us to extract data from Word and automate word-related activities easily."

"AA has many features but the issue is with the loss of overhead on computing resources. For example, if the bot is encrypted, the bot should decrypt it first then act accordingly. If there are issues with the logic in the bot, there will be a lot of computer memory overload. There should be an additional feature for cloud functionality."

"Sometimes, the files are getting corrupted and this causes us a lot of trouble."

"It takes a lot of effort to build up the internal infrastructure/topics like Virtual Machine/Security/development-Governance/Usecase-Management."

"The API integration should be improved further since it is a bit difficult at the moment to connect with the API in the enterprise version."

More Automation Anywhere cons

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

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

"IT Care Center must improve the UI because it looks old-fashioned all the time."

"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."

"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."

"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 such thing as a perfect solution and in the past, I have contacted support to implement new features."

More IT Care Center cons

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

"It's too complicated and there are too many options."

"Very expensive."

"They could be more competitive with their licensing."

"We can't update bulk tickets using a simple query language. Jira lets us update hundreds of tickets with one command. In ServiceNow, you need to select each task separately to close them. The dashboards could also be more user-friendly. Monday.com has better dashboards."

"Also, some of the way that the patches would break the catalog and the catalog items would cause unnecessary changes to the layout in the UI."

"The setup was time-consuming and required a lot of internal resources."

"When it comes to changing some of the features, I would like a little more leeway."

More ServiceNow cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Automation Anywhere is expensive, making it more suitable for enterprise organizations."

"It's justified because we have saved quite a bit of money at the company and many manual hours. Overall, it justifies the cost."

"We have saved customers 400% in terms of time saved by implementing this product."

"Their licensing processes are in par with most industry standards."

"My understanding is that the license cost of Automation Anywhere is more reasonable than UiPath and Blue Prism."

"The solution's pricing is pretty decent."

"In the Indian market, I feel that for mid-size companies, such as ourselves, that having multiple bots costs a lot. If Automation Anywhere wants to expand in the Indian market, they will need to look at their pricing."

"Our advice is that anybody interested in this product should negotiate product bundles in order to reduce the cost of installation and setup."

More Automation Anywhere pricing and cost advice

"The licensing model is very flexible."

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

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

"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."

"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."

"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."

"The solution is expensive."

"The pricing is on the high side, but if you look at the stability and option to work, it's kind of justified."

"We know that ServiceNow is not cheap, it's more expensive than other solutions. But we are trying to increase our ability to handle tickets so that the cost per ticket is less."

"The platform offers a free trial, by providing a free developer instance once you sign up."

"Getting the solution up and running is expensive."

"There is an annual subscription to use this solution."

"It's sold as a less expensive solution, but it has to be highly modified. That's where you get into the cost."

"Certainly, from a product-platform perspective, the price is not too bad."
