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."
"ServiceNow is an industry leader in multiple areas and provides an excellent ROI."
"​The workflow capability for easy setup is powerful."
"Simplicity of Change Manager."
"I think the technical support is pretty good. They can be a little bit slow sometimes, but overall I think they're good."
"The return on investment is good when implementing for ourselves and for other clients."
"The workflow makes things extremely efficient and it improves effectiveness."
"ServiceNow is a cloud-based platform, so people won't need to worry about investing on hardware to host it. Being on the cloud, it is available 24x7. It's scalable, stable, and multifeatured, with a straightforward setup and good technical support."
"Being able to have the required information for project management is valuable. I've got multiple people accessing it, and I'm tracking tasks with percentages done. It allows me to have detailed notes and provides the ability to attach documents. I have used a lot of project management solutions, and there were gaps in terms of what was available. ServiceNow has got all the features and functionalities. It is a solid solution. It is also easy to get into and use. It is certainly highly scalable."
 

Cons

"We have noticed that sometimes we have a delay in action on technical support issues due to time differences."
"ServiceNow's mobile app should be seamless and it is not right now."
"The ability to embed help information onto the screens."
"The asset management application could be improved. They have a lot of the infrastructure built, but it does not come with already made compatibility with some of the most popular vendors, such as Cisco and Microsoft. You have to fix it yourself."
"It's a little expensive compared to other tools."
"Integration capabilities can improve."
"The pricing structure could be more budget-friendly."
"There is a need for bug or error tracking in ServiceNow."
"There should be greater integration with other enterprise applications. We're using Microsoft, Oracle, and other applications, and it would be good to have a greater integration on some of the immediate hiccups that you have with these services. It doesn't mean that when we have a problem with using another application, ServiceNow should be able to fix it, but ServiceNow should be able to alert us to things. There should be a bit more automation or integration."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is priced for medium to enterprises sized businesses. However, it is expensive compared to competitors."
"For the modules we use, we found it competitive. I can't think of any costs in addition to the licensing fees."
"The cost is quite high."
"ServiceNow is an expensive solution."
