Great UI and out-of-the-box integrations, but needs expanded cloud platform support
Given the rapid pace of innovation we’ve already seen from Unqork, there are a few major capability gaps we face currently. However, some areas of improvement and features we would benefit from in upcoming releases include: 1. Enhanced accessibility compliance - While meeting baseline standards, further WCAG conformance and widgets optimized for screen readers could expand access for disabled users of Unqork solutions. Added compliance certifications would also be welcomed. 2. Expanded cloud platform support - The addition of Azure and Google Cloud alongside AWS would allow our deployment options to better align with enterprise strategic cloud choices outside just Amazon. 3. More analytics and observability - Increased telemetry on app performance, component reuse rates, load testing etc. would help fine-tune Unqork solutions. More data and dashboard visibility into adoption would optimize our ROI. 4. Managing technical debt - As portfolios of Unqork apps grow over time, best practices and features to facilitate updating legacy components, refactoring old solutions, and preventing erosion will be helpful. Added controls to manage technical debt long-term. 5. Evolution of existing components - Existing rich widgets and connectors rounding out maturity with incremental capabilities would expand Unqork's versatility. Expanding the range of use cases served by current components. 6. Offline functionality - For mobile solutions, some limited persistent caching and offline usability during intermittent connectivity would better support field agents/inspectors. Tolerating offline states is key. 7. Design version control - Advancing visual version control capabilities for better design history, branching, merging, and reverting changes to Unqork sites would improve collaboration and prevent overwrite errors by nontechnical users.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I really like ServiceNow and all of the features. The way incident management is built is very helpful. You have a lot of options to optimize it, customize it, and automate it. You also have a lot of options for reporting. There are plenty of possibilities to do preference management within your customer CMDB file. These are very useful features, which I missed in BMC Remedy ITSM. ServiceNow is the best ticketing tool I have used so far."
"Great that it's knowledge-based and you can use the flows in ServiceNow."
"It offers ready-built automation and simpler configuration for workflows."
"Identifies better ways to license software or eliminate unused software to save money."
"We have found the service easy to use, although, we have ended up customising a lot of parameters."
"It's more about the ease of use of ServiceNow. Plus, everything is there in a single platform. If you need any additional functionality, you just need to enable the plugins without even installing anything on the servers"
"One feature of ServiceNow that is important is the workflow engine. From my perspective [as a consultant] the power to be able to structure processes, represent workforce management for organizations, and the visibility provided by the reporting are additional top features."
"It is user-friendly and simple to use."
"Unqork UI behaves consistently across devices and seamlessly adapts to various form factors."
 

Cons

"There are Virtual Task Boards in the tool in the latest releases. There are many of them in the Scaled Agile Framework. There is some room there for improvement. It's really quite promising but, at the same time, it could be improved and I believe it will be improved soon."
"It's a little expensive compared to other tools."
"HR Service Management is one module that needs a lot of improvement because it's a pretty new module. It was introduced in the last two years. It's becoming more mature day by day, but there is a lot of scope for improvement in that module."
"I would like to see more functionality in terms of custom workflows, not impacting the overall platform health."
"Service mapping could be less complicated."
"Compared to other products that I have been using, it is not as user-friendly."
"It's missing monitoring capabilities."
"Before implementing this solution, you should have the ITSM model in place for chain management requests. That is a prerequisite because you cannot perform tasks without it."
"The addition of Azure and Google Cloud alongside AWS would allow our deployment options to better align with enterprise strategic cloud choices outside just Amazon."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"In Tunisia, the companies find the licensing costs to be expensive."
"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."
"It's sold as a less expensive solution, but it has to be highly modified. That's where you get into the cost."
"For large-scale companies, the cost of ServiceNow is not expensive, but for small and mid-scale companies, it is higher."
"There is an annual subscription to use this solution."
"Isn't pricing always too much? We really do chafe at the ITIL licensing. ITOM is also pretty expensive."
"The solution is expensive."
"The price is okay for us. It's reasonable."
