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."
"The most valuable features of ServiceNow for me are its ticketing and reporting capabilities."
"I have found that sorting and grouping functions are particularly useful."
"The most recent addition of SAM Premium is a game changer for many organizations."
"I like the incident module, which is useful for tracking your incidents and other things. It is a reliable solution."
"Change management is most valuable."
"Simplicity of Change Manager."
"ServiceNow is easy to use and has a user-friendly interface."
"I like that it's always up and running."
 

Cons

"The product’s stability needs improvement."
"Transparency in the pricing model needs to be improved."
"A new user does need training or time to learn the solution before jumping in. It was very hard in the beginning to understand everything. I couldn't find the models I needed at the time."
"The solution’s pricing is expensive and could be improved."
"The standard UI is very restricted. It doesn't look as good, compared to Remedy. Building your own UI requires some additional coding..."
"The solution could improve by making the CMDB integrate with a CI better to allow it to be seen across multiple platforms."
"They need to be providing vendors and implementation partners with materials and guidance on implementation."
"The solution’s user interface could be improved and given a better design."
"The solution could be made cheaper. Machine learning and artificial intelligence should be introduced in the next release."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The product has reasonable pricing."
"The mandatory minimum is US$ 20,000 for licensing."
"The setup cost is high compared to others, especially when the scope is not fixed."
"While the option exists to pay for a monthly license, we are dealing with large enterprises and these typically involve multi-year licenses of ten or five years, at a minimum."
"I am from Brazil. For Latin American markets, ServiceNow is very expensive as compared to other vendors, such as VMware."
"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."
"They could be more competitive with their licensing."
"It is fairly expensive."
"It is an expensive platform."
