Responsive technical support and an easy initial setup but needs better asset management
We found the initial setup to be surprisingly straightforward. It's not overly complex and difficult, and the ease of setup is a great selling point. We started to do it on our own as it was so straightforward. There is a beginner's guide on their website which you can use. It's a very good toolbox and very useful. Basically, all you need to do is start up your virtual machine inside or outside, put in some passwords, and run one or two commands as directed and it's up and ready to go. The only thing that may take a while is the configuration process. Otherwise, the deployment is relatively fast. In about two weeks it's completely done. We have two or three people involved in the maintenance aspect of the product

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

"The documentation for beginners is easily available online and very useful."
"It allows us to filter the data, create graphs, and get detailed reports."
"The most impactful feature in our day-to-day operations is the ticket status, which provides crucial visibility into the progress of each resource or incident."
"What I like the most is the functionality, it's features are rich, and there is a high degree of compliance with IT standards."
"The product's integration functionality in the change management module has significantly improved efficiency in our organization."
"ServiceNow is great. You can download the data into Excel and you can basically create reports. It's very flexible."
"It is a very promising product. They have a new release every six months. They're investing quite a lot, and you can do many creative things with the product. If you know how it works, you can have stricter rules in the product."
"I like the incident module, which is useful for tracking your incidents and other things. It is a reliable solution."
"In financial management, this platform has the infrastructure allowing us to expand the way we want to. For example, it gives you many business rules and budget models that you can use to optimize your workflow. It does not put you in a box. Additionally, integrating this solution with other platforms is extremely easy to do."
 

Cons

"We have noticed that sometimes we have a delay in action on technical support issues due to time differences."
"Loads slower than expected, and its user interface needs improvement. Support for this product also needs to improve on their response time."
"The solution should offer better security when it comes to storing data."
"It is annoying that ServiceNow keeps on changing back to Quebec every six months."
"The user interface for accessing assistance sometimes disconnects."
"There is a need for bug or error tracking in ServiceNow."
"The ability to embed help information onto the screens."
"Integration capabilities can improve."
"I would like to see Advanced Intelligent Automation."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"They could be more competitive with their licensing."
"I know that it's not too bad because people continue to use it and they are happy to renew up their contract."
"ServiceNow is an expensive solution."
"The price is okay for us. It's reasonable."
"ServiceNow tends to be a little bit more expensive as compared to BMC Helix ITSM."
"The licenses are expensive."
"Isn't pricing always too much? We really do chafe at the ITIL licensing. ITOM is also pretty expensive."
"I rate the solution's pricing a six out of ten. The pricing for ServiceNow is based on a SaaS platform with annual contracts. However, it may not offer much flexibility for adjusting usage in the short term."
