José Enrique Cano Rodriguez - PeerSpot reviewer
A valuable tool for optimizing network performance and security with comprehensive network monitoring capabilities, user-friendly interface, and flexibility for scripting
Distinguishing itself from network management systems like SolarWinds Orion and Dataminer, Hawkeye offers a distinctive feature. It empowers network administrators to access specialized and detailed views for specific tests, including video streaming and performance related to specific applications like video games. In contrast, SolarWinds and Dataminer typically offer a more general evaluation of network health. Hawkeye's unique capability enables a detailed analysis of network performance through specific tests, allowing administrators to identify areas in need of improvement and take precise actions to enhance network performance.

Cons

"You can't delete more than one thing at a time. It would be great to be able to highlight three out of five things and delete them, whether it's a test or an actual report."
"Ixia has one flaw, which is that they do not print the license code on the paper licenses that are shipped to the customers."
"Improvements in network performance are essential."
"The customization of tests and even the results can be improved."
"There is room for improvement in service mapping within ServiceNow ITOM. When we have more time, we'll look to extend that and apply it to business-critical services like email."
"Service Mapping is a time-consuming process. The time and effort versus the benefits are very difficult to articulate to customers."
"The licensing model of the product is a bit rigid, and it can be a bit difficult to downscale if your needs change while also being expensive."
"ServiceNow could be more prescriptive on how customers can leverage some of the benefits."
"The service discovery tool should include HR automations that automatically remove an employee who is leaving."
"There is room for improvement in the stability of ServiceNow."
"The setup and deployment could be simplified, and the pricing could improve."
"There is room for improvement in service mapping within ServiceNow ITOM."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In larger networks, the costs for licenses tend to be more reasonable, but for smaller networks, it appears relatively costly."
"It cost us approximately 25,000 for two years. This is cheaper than ThousandEyes."
"There are additional costs, you have to pay more for everything."
"The price of ServiceNow IT Operations Management is expensive."
"The pricing is high and may be excluding the small to medium-sized enterprise businesses."
"ServiceNow IT Operations Management is a costly solution. I'd rate the price at ten, on a scale from one to ten with one being the lowest and ten being the highest price. Some clients do have a problem with the price, but most find that the solution is worth the cost."
"We obtained discovery licenses at about seven dollars Australian per unit, which we found to be reasonable and competitive."
"I would rate the product's pricing a five out of ten since there are vendors who are cheaper."
"It is expensive. It is around 10 Euros per server per month."
"The cost of ServiceNow is much higher."
