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."
"There are features included in the new release for intelligent software, like the chatbot. For HR services, the HR agent which is in that chatbot has been fantastic."
"If you stick to the out-of-the-box solution, it's an easy setup."
"Easy to integrate with third-party applications."
"It enables us to meet SLAs, track issues across the environment, and report those issues."
"Good stable and scalable solution."
"Easy to implement and consolidate different platforms and users with useful functionalities."
"Great that it's knowledge-based and you can use the flows in ServiceNow."
"It can scale well if you are managing IT assets."
 

Cons

"We have noticed that sometimes we have a delay in action on technical support issues due to time differences."
"It would be nice if we could, with some specific access rights, move histories from one squad to another, as they generate dependencies or duplicate or flag them."
"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."
"Integration capabilities can improve."
"Performance could be improved."
"We don't have a huge amount of password reset requests, but the minimum package of resets that ServiceNow offers is much more than we need."
"The interface requires an upgrade."
"The ability to embed help information onto the screens."
"It should include information on navigating various user interfaces for creating diverse requests directed to different teams."

"The licensing expenses are excessively high."
"They could be more competitive with their licensing."

"It has a higher cost compared to local/regional solutions."
"The cost is quite high."
