Featured Reviews

Fabio QUINTANILHA - PeerSpot reviewer
A stable and scalable solution that has excellent features and is useful for collecting data and building KPIs
As much as possible, we use the out-of-the-box features. We do very few customizations. We follow the schedule to refresh the versions when they come up. As an end-user, I am not happy with the scalability. We have to wait a long time to buy more capacity. It is not an issue with the tool. Our team must manage it better. ServiceNow is a powerful tool. As long as we have enough users, it works. Overall, I rate the tool an eight out of ten.
NR
Plenty of features, stable, and scalable
The solution has not been updated in a while and parts appear to be outdated, such as the pictures. It is a reactive product in terms of development and features. They do not follow the market trends or have many innovations. I have found Symantec Asset Management Suite does not integrate well with Microsoft solutions, which in the corporate world is a large disadvantage. They are currently lagging behind Microsoft. The cloud version of this solution is not very convenient or comparable to other solutions, they need to improve it.
