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."
"I have found that sorting and grouping functions are particularly useful."
"It's actually easy to understand."
"The most valuable features of ServiceNow for me are its ticketing and reporting capabilities."
"We consider the integration capabilities of the solution with other tools to be a valuable feature."
"Creating a ticket is much simpler in this tool. That is one big advantage. Also, the simplicity and ease of use are much better. I've used HPSM and it is very complex in comparison to ServiceNow."
"It's a very low-code platform, and it's simple. The user experience is also really good."
"Very easy to implement and to respond to my clients' needs."
"The solution is stable, scalable and easy to use."
 

Cons

"The solution needs to improve its reporting features. The user interface needs a lot of improvements."
"We are struggling with the scheduling part, but it doesn't necessarily mean that it is a ServiceNow issue. It could be the way we have configured it. We don't have it configured in a way where you can schedule a support call with our end users. We are looking for more automation in the box and the chat feature."
"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."
"There is a need to enhance ticket details visibility on the portal, such as displaying SLA information, which currently requires development effort."
"Making a mobile version would be helpful."
"Service mapping could be less complicated."
"There is room for improvement in price."
"The contract module is quite rudimentary and doesn't support contract line items."
"The product’s standard user experience is not the best."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"It is very expensive because it is a big organization. You have to pay for additional things."
"The price of the solution is comparable to industry standards. For the features that we received, it is reasonable."
"I'm not aware of any additional costs. I'm pretty sure that the current client is paying just the licensing fee per user. I do know that they've got some support agreement with ServiceNow, but I don't think that is broken out or specific to Project Management. It is just inclusive."
"The licensing cost is based on your partnership with ServiceNow and what you have selected for implementation. There is an annual license cost which is calculated based on your number of devices."
"There is an annual subscription to use this solution."
"I know that it's not too bad because people continue to use it and they are happy to renew up their contract."
"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."
"ServiceNow is a leader and its pricing is quite good, quite competitive... Sometimes some plugins are not priced reasonably but, generally, the platform itself, its modules, are priced reasonably."
