Somnath Kand - PeerSpot reviewer
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.

Stable, easy to install, and cost effective, but it needs better integration and data management
It needs better integration with other tools like Jira. Better reporting and better data management are also needed. I believe the way they're structured is the flat file. So it'd be better if they actually used a database for the data storage, and a more robust portal. I would like more flexible reporting.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"For our work, ServiceNow's service catalogs and SDK integrations are the most valuable features."
"Straightforward tool."
"What I like the most is that it's a common service data model and the fact that everything is available on one platform."
"There are lots of modules around IT service management such as IT business management and human resource management (HRC)."
"Some of the valuable features I have found the solution to have are it can serve many different types of businesses, it has strong platform capabilities, provides application development, built-in predictive intelligence, and performance analytics reports."
"If it is a high priority, they will respond very quickly. If it is a low priority issue, it might take some time, some three or four days. I would rate the technical support as a 10 out of 10."
"In my experience, ServiceNow's most valuable feature is its flexibility. If you have a DevOps or development team, you can customize it to meet your specific needs. The tool's dashboard categorizes incidents, making managing it much easier."
"It is easily configurable and has a good developer society online, available for any issues from the backend."
"The two most valuable features are the portal and reporting."
 

Cons

"Their user interface is old-fashioned and outdated, and it can be more friendly for the eye. They can improve the user experience."
"The installation and deployment of ServiceNow can be a bit challenging. One major issue I've encountered is that ServiceNow doesn't provide the same mobile responsiveness or features that we used to enjoy with other tools. For example, with Splunk, our response times were about five minutes, and we could manage alerts and incidents directly from our mobile devices."
"They could improve license management, particularly when integrating different applications or toolsets."
"We would like to have an Asset Management and/or Project Management feature enabled in this version and in the IT Service Management edition."
"If you have advanced questions, technical support often doesn't know the answer."
"The RPA needs improvement. That's a new area for them that they're just entering into now."
"Vulnerability management could be improved. Also, integration with tools such as Microsoft Defender ATP needs improvement."
"This solution needs to be improved for global use. Currently, it's very oriented to the processes and needs of the US customer base, like their compliance solution or GRC (Governance, Risk, and Compliance), and not so much for customers from other parts of the world. Some users may like the things that ServiceNow is improving, but those are very oriented to users based in the United States and Europe."
"It needs better integration with other tools like Jira."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"While the option exists to pay for a monthly license, we are dealing with large enterprises and these typically involve multi-year licenses of ten or five years, at a minimum."
"For large-scale companies, the cost of ServiceNow is not expensive, but for small and mid-scale companies, it is higher."
"In Tunisia, the companies find the licensing costs to be expensive."
"The price is okay for us. It's reasonable."
"It has a higher cost compared to local/regional solutions."
"The solution is expensive."
"The pricing is reasonable and affordable, making it suitable for businesses ranging from small to large scale."
"The solution is expensive."
"The price is approximately $70 per agent, per month."
