"ServiceNow is not open source, so there is a license you must pay. As for how much it costs, what I have observed is that it often depends on your subscriptions. Suppose that you go with some subscriptions such as IDSM or any type of package like it, then the license cost will be impacted accordingly. Similarly, the cost is also adjusted based on your headcount of how many users will be using it."
"The solution is very expensive."
"The basic reporting system is rather static."
"It's not quick or cheap."
"This platform is used more by large companies because it is a little bit expensive."
