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."
"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."
"ServiceNow offers a range of ITSM, IT incident management, and PRCPs."
"Remote access is most valuable."
"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 is a cloud solution. That fact was very important for us, that it is not an on-prem solution, as it reduces our internal cost of support."
"ServiceNow is easy to use and has a user-friendly interface."
"Easy to implement and consolidate different platforms and users with useful functionalities."
"I really like what they've done with their common service data model because now I can make a connection between the business process and technology."
 

Cons

"The solution needs to improve its reporting features. The user interface needs a lot of improvements."
"There is a need for bug or error tracking in ServiceNow."
"Needs additional software titles and easier normalization."
"Its stability and pricing need improvement."
"The capital expenditure neeed to get the tool up and running is extensive."
"The licensing needs to be divided into tiers in order to attract lower-level users."
"if I consider from the IT operations management side, ServiceNow is pretty premature on some things, especially the discovery, while the other tools like Micro Focus and BMC Remedy, those that have been in the market for quite some time. ServiceNow is evolving itself in the discovery piece of the future."
"Complexities in the organization made the initial deployment complex."
"There is inherent complexity with this tool because of the number of things that it can do."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"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 platform offers a free trial, by providing a free developer instance once you sign up."
"I would say it is moderately expensive, ranging from six to seven on a scale of ten."
"Certainly, from a product-platform perspective, the price is not too bad."
"The setup cost is high compared to others, especially when the scope is not fixed."
"Some time ago it was expensive, but large companies have special contracts. It's enterprise prices, and we're talking about millions per year."
"The solution is priced for medium to enterprises sized businesses. However, it is expensive compared to competitors."
"The first impact for the customer is that it is expensive, but do not forget that it is a solution that includes infrastructure; a single cost, easy to justify."
