Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"ServiceNow is a cloud solution. That fact was very important for us, that it is not an on-prem solution, as it reduces our internal cost of support."
"It provides internal clients with greater transparency about their projects and deliverables."
"It's great to do statuses or to review tasks."
"Change management is most valuable."
"Straightforward tool."
"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."
"Remote access is most valuable."
"I think the technical support is pretty good. They can be a little bit slow sometimes, but overall I think they're good."
"We use dashboards quite heavily, but one of the features that have really stood out is some of the policies we've created to alert us of particular situations."
"The solution is useful for cloud transparency and visibility in reports and dashboards that I have generated, especially the pre-populated dashboards."
"This solution is fast and very easy to understand, even if you are not a technician."
"It's stable. For report presentation, it's been fast."
"The product is easy to use in terms of monitoring all the environments. It works for multiple clouds."
"The pricing is rather competitive right now."
"The solution is good for cloud cost management."
"We are able to create an internal price of the product that we can then sell to clients. We get the cost plan at a good discount and then resell it with a mark up to our enterprise-level clients. This flexibility in pricing is one of the solution's best features."
 

Cons

"Creating service catalog forms could be made easier."
"The setup was time-consuming and required a lot of internal resources."
"When it comes to reference fields, there are some limitations where you aren't able to use them, like in relationship queries. In Remedy, when you click a menu, you get options directly, whereas here, if you use a reference field, it points you to a different form. So the UI experience totally changes for the end user."
"There's always a room for improvement in terms of the ServiceNow UI. For customers, the UI is something that is a continuous improvement."
"Where it could be improved is Discovery. This may sound odd since I just praised the value of ServiceNow Discovery, but improvements to its automatic detection, the breadth of devices, and the depth of devices covered, as well as keeping up with new technologies, are all essential."
"The Software Asset Management feature can be improved. We would like to see more features for the Software Asset Management functionality. Its price can also be better. It is currently more expensive than other solutions."
"The solution should offer better security when it comes to storing data."
"The interface is not user-friendly."
"They should provide information or tools to tune the cloud resources according to the environment size."
"If you are working with the OS you need help and other connectors to get more information."
"CloudHealth needs to start building out Turbonomics-types of features that help the customers who are using CloudHealth really understand everything down to the server level, the virtual machine level."
"The Perspectives feature could be better."
"I would like to see better integration from CloudHealth to create easier setup and implementation."
"It would be helpful to have a mobile version or a tablet version, especially for people who are outside of the office."
"The export features regarding CSV files and specifically around identifying savings plans have room for improvement, as well as the drill-down features for reservation utilization."
"The performance and accuracy of Cloud Health need to be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is very expensive because it is a big organization. You have to pay for additional things."
"Certainly, from a product-platform perspective, the price is not too bad."
"There are licensing fees."
"The product cost is higher than that of other vendors."
"The pricing is on the high side, but if you look at the stability and option to work, it's kind of justified."
"ServiceNow tends to be a little bit more expensive as compared to BMC Helix ITSM."
"The mandatory minimum is US$ 20,000 for licensing."
"The platform offers a free trial, by providing a free developer instance once you sign up."
"The licensing fees depend on how big the company is. If you are a larger company then you have a better contract with a better price. The price is different for a small company."
"I give the cost of the solution an eight out of ten."
"There could be flexibility in pricing for the product."
"CloudHealth has a subscription-based model."
"The pricing is competitive and while other products are good they are considerably more expensive."
