Allows for seamless integration and sharing of common features
The initial setup is straightforward. There are limited access. If you choose not to use scripts, you can still configure the majority of the settings on the platform. The technical aspect of implementing changes is governed by change management processes. Even simple features require careful consideration of communication, documentation, and governance. Despite the setup being relatively straightforward and typically taking one to two weeks to complete once the desired outcome is identified, the implementation phase can often extend for a month or two due to various factors. I rate the initial setup a nine out of ten, where one is difficult, and ten is easy.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of the ServiceNow Now Platform is the workspaces feature, which allows you to create customized workspaces."
"The main reason that people use ServiceNow is that performance is very good."
"The primary feature we find valuable is data management."
"The solution is in Gartner's Magic Quadrant."
"Now Platform's best features are collaboration, configurability, and customizability."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"The tool is generally easy to use, making it a very user-friendly product."
"At this point, over and above what ServiceNow actually is, the key is that it's really nothing but a web service. Whether it's a form or anything, the best part is that you can easily leverage anything of ServiceNow for any application anywhere just by calling the REST endpoints and handling the request messages."
"Some important features include the language capabilities, which are crucial since RPA has to read the documents provided by the customer."
 

Cons

"ServiceNow Now Platform's technical support needs to improve."
"Bug and defect management are not available in ServiceNow."
"The initial setup requires a lot of customization based on the individual company's processes."
"The programming language is currently limited to JavaScript. So I would like to see more programming languages available, especially since they have come up with the machine-learning features. Some more languages would be an additional improvement."
"They should reduce the solution's cost and make it more affordable for buyers."
"I feel that the solution's user interface is an area with certain shortcomings, where improvements are required."
"If AI were better integrated into ServiceNow, it would lower the RPA costs and make the platform more accessible."
"What I didn't like in the ServiceNow Now Platform is testing, particularly with Visual Studio. It had a bad integration with Visual Studio because you can't compile and run it from there. You have to debug on your own and then find out where the error is through test scripts. The testing component in the ServiceNow Now Platform isn't that great. What I'd like to see in the next version of the ServiceNow Now Platform is an improvement in testing and writing scripts, and if there was a feature to just run it from the modules, then that would be great, instead of finding the error manually and checking where it is."
"Blue Prism is more costly than UiPath in terms of robotic licenses and orchestrators."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It's expensive and if you need some analytical views of your activity, there is an additional cost."
"I would rate the pricing an eight out of ten, with ten being very expensive solution."
"ServiceNow is not open source, so there is a license you must pay. As for how much it costs, what I have observed is that it often depends on your subscriptions."
"People seem to be buying the tool a lot. I think its licensing is okay."
"The price of the product falls on the higher side of the spectrum."
"The pricing of this solution is done annually and it is very expensive."
"It is expensive only."
"Most of the features are included in the licensing cost. However, if we need extra plugins that are not available at the ServiceNow Hub or store, then we have to pay extra for those."
