RP
A network monitoring platform with a useful reporting feature, but permission-based options could be better
The initial setup is fairly easy. Most of it's wizard-based. You don't have to be a rocket scientist to set it up. But if you don't know certain things related to protocols and everything else, it might be difficult. If you know how SNMP works, it'll be fairly simple to set up.
RichardG - PeerSpot reviewer
Effortlessly blends management systems for comprehensive infrastructure insight
ServiceNow IT Operations Management brought together Intune and SCCM or MECM really well. It provided out-of-the-box integrations, requiring only minimal effort, typically a couple of days, to massage those systems into a seamless operation. Additionally, the performance analytics of ServiceNow was especially beneficial for setting thresholds, aggregating, and correlating infrastructure data.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Reporting on NetCrunch is pretty good. It's very similar to SolarWinds. It's just a different interface. The majority of everything there was beneficial."
"It is a stable solution. I have not experienced any system outages during my time using the solution."
"The most valuable features of ServiceNow IT Operations Management are ease of use, intuitive design, and ease of management, and its based on IT practices which are good."
"The most important features of ServiceNow IT Operations Management are the discovery service mapping and orchestration."
"The asset management tools are very valuable."
"It is easy to use and simple to learn."
"You can improve integrations of the operation with the solution."
"The Discovery feature is the most valuable. I only use the Discovery and Service Mapping features. I am using the minor subscription called ITOM Visibility, which includes the Discovery and Service Mapping features. It is easy to understand and easy to use. It has a lot of documentation. You can find a lot of help online, which helps me in finding what I need in a rapid way. You can find videos on YouTube channels and a lot of stuff and information in the online community."
"The solution allows you to subscribe to the features you need and utilize CMDB, ITSM, and discovery on the same platform."
 

Cons

"I didn't care for the role-based, permission-based options, which were not the best."
"The out-of-the-box reporting feature is not as user friendly as other tools."
"Lacks the ability to do its own monitoring."
"The setup and deployment could be simplified, and the pricing could improve."
"We are facing difficulties with service mapping of CIs from the end users, and are seeking help from third-party vendors."
"The security policies could be increased."
"There is a slower learning curve associated with the tool's scripting part. It is also not cheap."
"The solution's subscription model could be improved."
"The pricing is high."
