Featured Reviews

Sanjay Mukhopadhyay - PeerSpot reviewer
The solution comes with a host of features for hyper-automation
The initial setup is a mix of complex and straightforward because it depends on which modules you are implementing for ITSM. There are a lot of complex workflows and SLAs around the workflow. We have to configure much more complex things than just Patch Management and Endpoint. For example, it might not take even two weeks to roll out APM for 10,000 assets, but it will take three months to roll out ITSM for 10,000 assets and an equal number of users. That's because the modules you were implementing require much more knowledge, and there are a lot of complexities and nitty-gritties inside the tool which need to be understood. ITSM skill sets are in demand because reaching an L3 certification is not easy. We have those certified skill sets. That's why we're able to roll out at a fast pace. With standard documentation available, it's very clear for a certified resource to understand step-wise implementation. For every step, there is a "build and test" approach. It's a continuous integration. You follow this process, so you don't suddenly realize there are many issues at the end of setup. You have to keep testing each module and process as you roll out. It's not complex, but you need to know the product.

A stable and scalable solution that has excellent features and is useful for collecting data and building KPIs
As much as possible, we use the out-of-the-box features. We do very few customizations. We follow the schedule to refresh the versions when they come up. As an end-user, I am not happy with the scalability. We have to wait a long time to buy more capacity. It is not an issue with the tool. Our team must manage it better. ServiceNow is a powerful tool. As long as we have enough users, it works. Overall, I rate the tool an eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is easy to use and has a user-friendly interface"
"The solution's technical support is excellent. I rate the technical support a ten out of ten."
"They allow us to automate ticketing processes and create requests more efficiently, improving our overall support operations."
"Primarily, I believe the focus lies on discovery, workflow configuration, and automation."
"The integrations are quite simple and clear."
"The main feature for us is incident management, as it assists me in knowing my assignments, because we have group assignments. When we go to the group assignment they can assign it to me there."
"This is an excellent alternative to ServiceNow for smaller companies."
"It is easy to set up."
"Flexibility is the most valuable feature of ServiceNow, that is, being able to modify it to do what we need it to do."
"It is a very promising product. They have a new release every six months. They're investing quite a lot, and you can do many creative things with the product. If you know how it works, you can have stricter rules in the product."
"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, revisions. We're always working with the latest version."
"We used ServiceNow for change management, release management, and event management."
"We consider the integration capabilities of the solution with other tools to be a valuable feature."
"ServiceNow is one of the few easiest platforms you can integrate with products like Ansible to automate your workflows."
"It facilitates the monitoring of major incidents and provides insights into the effort expended to resolve each incident."
"I like the reporting aspect of it. It helps us know where we stand regarding the types of issues we're receiving... It also shows us trends. That enables us to possibly predict an issue that might come up in the future as well as what is happening right now. We will like that feature. With it, we can either avoid certain issues or know where we need to focus more regarding the service we provide."
 

Cons

"Ivanti Neurons for ITSM is not a user-friendly tool when compared to ServiceNow."
"We'd like more integration with solutions like SolarWinds."
"There is room for improvement in terms of response time. The support team takes a long time to respond."
"Support needs improvement in terms of responsiveness and timeliness."
"Sometimes I can't get the reports that I want until I go to the manager. They need to put more into the new reports. The standard reports are great, but there do not communicate as much."
"I have had to open a few support tickets with the HEAT Service Management. They are very good but there are some areas that they could improve on."
"Configuration requirements are extensive, even in basic Service Desk processes."
"They could provide product integration with popular platforms."
"There should be greater integration with other enterprise applications. We're using Microsoft, Oracle, and other applications, and it would be good to have a greater integration on some of the immediate hiccups that you have with these services. It doesn't mean that when we have a problem with using another application, ServiceNow should be able to fix it, but ServiceNow should be able to alert us to things. There should be a bit more automation or integration."
"The interface is not user-friendly."
"There should be fewer clicks and faster integrations between solutions."
"We are struggling with the scheduling part, but it doesn't necessarily mean that it is a ServiceNow issue. It could be the way we have configured it. We don't have it configured in a way where you can schedule a support call with our end users. We are looking for more automation in the box and the chat feature."
"Loads slower than expected, and its user interface needs improvement. Support for this product also needs to improve on their response time."
"If you have advanced questions, technical support often doesn't know the answer."
"The utilization of AI in ServiceNow needs enhancement."
"It's not very secure, it's web-based, and I prefer Remedy. Both the security and the web interface could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product is affordable for small businesses."
"If you want to add more users who can handle support there will be additional fees. What we call our extensions, we need to pay more for. They tell us that we need to acquire more licenses or something like that. I think it's very expensive, because in terms the pula, our local currency, it's about 20,000 per license for each user. It is an annual fee."
"I came to know from my team members that my company used to operate ServiceNow but shifted to Ivanti Neurons for ITSM due to its low licensing prices."
"The price is on the higher side. The support is included in the standard licensing fees."
"Getting the solution up and running is expensive."
"There are licensing fees."
"The mandatory minimum is US$ 20,000 for licensing."
"The price of the solution is comparable to industry standards. For the features that we received, it is reasonable."
"We are happy with the pricing."
"ServiceNow's pricing is comparatively higher than Helix's."
"It is very expensive because it is a big organization. You have to pay for additional things."
"The licensing cost is based on your partnership with ServiceNow and what you have selected for implementation. There is an annual license cost which is calculated based on your number of devices."
