Very good reporting and alerting abilities but inadequate enhancement support
Before choosing the solution, it is important to rank your requirements from high to low priority. The solution has a lot of features but at a high price. If you will only use 30% of the solution to meet your requirements, then it would be better for you to explore other products. Find the solution that best fulfills your requirements. The solution itself is great. If I could use it properly, then I would rate it a seven out of ten. Unfortunately, support is a factor when determining usability or cost effectiveness. We did not receive the needed support so had to stop using the solution. For that reason, my overall rating for the solution is a five out of ten.

A very capable solution that includes a valuable, user-friendly workflow management tool
Our company has forty team members who use the solution for change management, problem management, and our intake process.  We use the workflow management tool for several provisions. For example, a requester creates the request, it goes to the floor for approval, and then it automatically connects…

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We don't have any complaints about the software. According to my team, it's a very good tool that's very intuitive."
"The alerting feature is very good because it allows you to set MOS alerts at various network junctures or data points."
"Its analytical capability is really good."
"All in all, LiveAction LiveNX has become an indispensable tool for maintaining and improving our network's reliability and performance, ultimately supporting our organization's goal of providing timely and dependable delivery services."
"The intention and the idea of the filter is great."
"We provide a tool for our customers to manage their reports. It's an extremely highly featured platform capable of producing a lot of data. We spent quite a long time working with customers and LiveAction to create template reports, and they're very good and configurable. You get a lot of data if you don't configure them."
"One of the valuable features is the ability to create CLI scripts on the fly to fix any issues. We were using it for QoS modeling to ensure that we were properly modeling QoS, and it basically said here is what you need to fix to get this QoS done, whether it is ACL or something else. It would either push or recommend. If you have the right credentials, you could also push. It is very good if you are a Cisco shop. It gives you reporting, latency, and bandwidth utilization for your applications, so you can do good capacity management planning. There are a lot of pieces that LiveNX can give you. It is a total NPM solution for SD-WAN."
"The product has a very good graphical interface."
"It is flexible. You can tune it, more or less, as you want."
"The asset management tools are very valuable."
"It's easy to set up."
"I like the solution due to the fact that it's scalable."
"The most important features of ServiceNow IT Operations Management are the discovery service mapping and orchestration."
"As a product, ServiceNow IT Operations Management is pretty strong, and it can discover non-IP devices."
"The solution is easy to use and has great orchestration and automation capabilities."
"The auto remediation feature has been most valuable. They have also introduced an AOP feature of ServiceNow that we are keen to explore."
 

Cons

"The only downside to this software is the price."
"The tool crashes sometimes when we try to pull reports simultaneously."
"They need to create a more simplified UI."
"It is not as robust as other NPM solutions. For instance, there is a problem while labeling specific applications. It works well with well-known applications, but when you have to put in new applications that are not very known and set them up with names, ports, URLs, or some protocols, it is not as intuitive."
"The product is weak in multi-tenancy. We have to install multiple instances of LiveAction, whereas we would like to build it once for our customers."
"This is a horrible solution and I think everything needs to be improved."
"Improved documentation and more responsive customer support can help in addressing issues faster."
"Sometimes the solution does not register devices properly and that is a bug."
"The security policies could be increased."
"The setup and deployment could be simplified, and the pricing could improve."
"There is room for improvement in the stability of ServiceNow."
"Regarding ServiceNow, there is room for improvement in terms of customization, particularly in the area of self-customization."
"An area for improvement for ServiceNow IT Operations Management is making service mapping and discovery easier for non-IP devices."
"My managers would say that the price is too high. We wanted to also have the visibility version of it, but it's too expensive for us. Going for visibility would have doubled up the price."
"The initial setup phase was hard and could be made easier."
"The service discovery tool should include HR automations that automatically remove an employee who is leaving."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is fairly expensive compared to other products."
"We use the free version."
"It's very expensive."
"The solution is costly compared to the products offered by its competitors."
"The price of ServiceNow IT Operations Management is expensive."
"I would rate the product's pricing a five out of ten since there are vendors who are cheaper."
"The pricing is high and may be excluding the small to medium-sized enterprise businesses."
"It has different subscription models."
"It is expensive. It is around 10 Euros per server per month."
"The cost of ServiceNow is much higher."
"This solution offers good value but comes at a very high premium. Pricing could be reduced by 10 to 20%."
