Great documentation, good technical support, and very in-depth
The initial setup can be complex. I would advise users to leverage all of the access with Palo Alto, in terms of setting up with the technical account management teams. They need to ensure that what they have in mind for the product is actually going to be what happens. I have not run into any problems with deploying the product. Any of their security products are well-documented, either with open source intelligence or the documentation from Palo Alto. We had a client with less than a thousand users that received a dedicated engineer and a technical account manager that was able to walk them through the first 90 days of ownership.

A low-cost and open-source tool for incident and change management

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The ease of deployment is a valuable feature."
"Technical support is great. Palo Alto is extremely helpful and responsive."
"It basically automates the entire alert investigation process."
"​Integration to other security tools allows for a consolidated view of all vulnerabilities, incidents, etc. for all sorts of leverage in a single platform to assess governance risk and compliance as well as an enhanced, enriched intelligence.​"
"Reduces time to closure and closure metrics for vulnerabilities."
"The solution is stable."
"The SOAR module of ServiceNow Security Operations is the most valuable feature"
"The most valuable aspect of working with ServiceNow is its meaningful and feature-rich product."
"Multiple projects use the ServiceNow tool because it is a low-cost and open-source tool."
"It's stable."
"It gives you the ability to bring data into the system. The workflows are out of the box, and it gives you the ability to auto-assign the incidents based on criteria and vulnerabilities."
 

Cons

"Maybe the notifications setting could use a simpler setting."
"The price should be reduced in order to be more competitive in the market."
"Many will try to use this as an out-of-the-box solution, however, it needs to be configured to fit what a company would like to do with it."
"There is room for improvement in terms of developer support and documentation."
"We'd like customization to be easier in terms of the UI and using the dashboards."
"There are limitations for the third-parties that are providing the inputs. They should increase the robustness of the solution."
"The dashboard and playbook creation will need to improve"
"Report generation within ServiceNow can take some time."
"It's very slow. When you click a button or update a field, it takes forever to actually react."
"Report generation within ServiceNow can take some time. Additionally, there are occasional issues when raising a ticket, which can also consume time."
"An area for improvement I observed in ServiceNow Security Operations is the need to maintain correct CMDB data because if you're unable to do this, you can't perfectly maintain the vulnerability data. CMDB data in ServiceNow Security Operations needs to be accurate. As I've been working on ServiceNow Security Operations for only seven months, I still need more time to try all its modules before I can give recommendations regarding additional features I'd like to see in the solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Be sure of the actual number of endpoints in your company."
"The price of this solution is the highest in the market, although there are no costs in addition to the standard licensing fees."
"The product is more expensive than other solutions."
"This product is a good value for the money."
"Compared to competitor tools, ServiceNow Security Operations is more affordable"
"It is an expensive product."
"If you're going to implement it on your own, there would be internal costs. If you're going to implement it through a contractor or consultant, you have to pay for that."
"The solution is more expensive than BMC Remedy, the other ITSM tool available in the market."
