It's provided self-service and automation, notifications, and reporting, although adding group names is a complicated process.
It’s always the little things. There used to be a spell-check function that allowed us to add technical terms, but it no longer exists, and I’d like to have that back. Also, adding group names is a complicated process that involves adding analyst names, and analysts change all the time, so it's nearly impossible to consistently add group names.

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 solution is a highly mature product. Because of this, it can stand up to any other product on the market."
"Good stable and scalable solution."
"ServiceNow provides quite good insights about what is happening in the organization."
"I like that it's always up and running."
"We have found change management and CMDB to be very useful."
"It's a straightforward and effective approach that minimizes the need for extensive explanations."
"It's easy to integrate. For instance, yesterday we closed the integration with SAP for the IP business management module to manage the forecast of projects. We created an interface between ServiceNow and SAP to control projects for accounting and on the forecast of the project. It was really easy. We don't have any problems with ServiceNow at the moment. As a company, they are improving constantly."
"I don't have to look through a whole bunch of other incidents that aren't relevant to me. It's very useful in that sense."
"ServiceNow has been implemented to streamline team workflows across different departments in our company. Users, including traveling leaders, were able to approve requests and authorize additional rights through the mobile platform."
 

Cons

"The solution needs to improve its reporting features. The user interface needs a lot of improvements."
"For healthcare, which is a pretty audited environment, there are no concrete solutions for digital signatures, apart from our license with Adobe, so it requires orchestration."
"The reporting, which also includes dashboards, needs to be improved, and there should also be the ability to turn on and off portions of Project Management. Currently, as soon as you install the new version, you've got to go back there and make all the tweaks. There should be just a configuration file that goes to the new version.  The Project Management module does not leverage the knowledge base the way it should, and there is no built-in ability to get to the articles. Resource management should be easier. It would be amazing if they can make resource management a little bit more graphical. There are other solutions that I've seen where resource management was a more visual experience."
"The user interface could be much improved, and the developer tools and sets can be improved greatly, they are lacking."
"The contract module is quite rudimentary and doesn't support contract line items."
"It's a little expensive compared to other tools."
"Needs additional software titles and easier normalization."
"The Express edition does not allow the option for scripting."
"It should enhance its offerings by providing the chance to obtain course certifications at an affordable fee."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"The platform offers a free trial, by providing a free developer instance once you sign up."
"The license model is based on a number of fulfillers (active users who play some role within the ServiceNow functionality). Therefore, you can serve as many end-users as you want, without additional costs."
"The pricing is on the high side, but if you look at the stability and option to work, it's kind of justified."
"The price of this solution is expensive."
"ServiceNow is an expensive solution."
"The cost is quite high."
"It's sold as a less expensive solution, but it has to be highly modified. That's where you get into the cost."
"The price could be a little lower for the solution. Many of my customers have issues with the licensing process, they have to make it easier and straightforward."
