Has an easy initial setup process, but its stability needs improvement
We use the product for asset management The product’s stability needs improvement. We have been using Micro Focus ZENworks Asset Management for two years. I rate the product's stability an eight out of ten. It could be better.  Our organization has around 50-100 Micro Focus ZENworks Asset…

Custom integration and reporting lead to efficient ticket management
There is a need for bug or error tracking in ServiceNow. Although there are child incidents or tickets, tracking primary issues or bugs within enhancements is not present. The reporting features in the new portal could be more user-friendly. While it provides options to minimize chart and image sizes, actual implementation doesn't always reflect these changes.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It is a scalable product."
"Very good incident management, chain management and problem management features."
"Makes ticket information easy to access."
"You can scale the solution."
"Data in reports and dashboards are easily accessible."
"Your time-to-market, or TTM, becomes faster when you use ServiceNow. Even individuals that are not tech savvy can quickly change processes and workflows in it. This can make the organization as a whole more agile."
"Flexibility is the most valuable feature of ServiceNow, that is, being able to modify it to do what we need it to do."
"ServiceNow provides quite good insights about what is happening in the organization."
"I have found many features that are important and that are easier when compared to Remedy; for example, the Scripted REST APIs and the Flow Designer... The Client scripts are simpler when you compare with Remedy."
 

Cons

"The product’s stability needs improvement."
"There is a need for bug or error tracking in ServiceNow."
"I would like the reporting aspect to be better, including the graphs. It could have some way for us to easily to export to a csv or spreadsheet so that if a graph cannot be provided by ServiceNow itself, we would be able to use other applications to create them. Also, if there was a feature that enabled us to interact with end users directly from ServiceNow, like an instant-messaging type of feature, that would be great."
"It is annoying that ServiceNow keeps on changing back to Quebec every six months."
"There's always a room for improvement in terms of the ServiceNow UI. For customers, the UI is something that is a continuous improvement."
"The major area for improvement for our needs would be monitoring the metrics of the times to acknowledge and resolve issues and escalations."
"It should enhance its offerings by providing the chance to obtain course certifications at an affordable fee."
"Loads slower than expected, and its user interface needs improvement. Support for this product also needs to improve on their response time."
"It's a little expensive compared to other tools."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product has reasonable pricing."
"The pricing is reasonable and affordable, making it suitable for businesses ranging from small to large scale."
"ServiceNow's pricing is comparatively higher than Helix's."
"The price could be a little lower for the solution. Many of my customers have issues with the licensing process, they have to make it easier and straightforward."
"For large-scale companies, the cost of ServiceNow is not expensive, but for small and mid-scale companies, it is higher."
"Initially, the licensing model ServiceNow came up with was very good. But now, from a licensing perspective, they are changing their model day by day. It is becoming a bit expensive for customers."
"$230 per user."
"They could be more competitive with their licensing."
"The pricing is on the high side, but if you look at the stability and option to work, it's kind of justified."
