Delivers seamless incident and change management with effective issue tracking
Pros and Cons
  • "The tool is very useful as it helps us run businesses smoothly."
  • "Sometimes ServiceNow Customer Service Management lags, meaning the speed is low or there is a delay in operations."

What is our primary use case?

I am working on incident management, service management, and change management. We work on SLAs and handle service requests, change requests, and incident management. These are the main areas I am working on at the moment.

What is most valuable?

The most valuable features are incident management and change management. These features are extensively used by businesses to tackle regular issues. This tool helps to track issues businesses face regularly. If an end user faces an inventory-related issue, they raise a ticket that comes to our incident management tool for ServiceNow Customer Service Management. We work to resolve that issue, allowing businesses to operate smoothly. It also helps to track our past performance, like how many tickets we resolved, and it shows how the business profits from uninterrupted operations. Change requests are vital if there is a business requirement change; they are used for tracking and reporting purposes, showcasing how change requests have been used to keep businesses running smoothly.

What needs improvement?

Sometimes ServiceNow Customer Service Management lags, meaning the speed is low or there is a delay in operations. These are the areas needing improvement.

For how long have I used the solution?

I have been working for more than two years, and in the past, I also worked for a year in 2020, totaling three years of experience.

What was my experience with deployment of the solution?

We start by determining what kind of tools we need in ServiceNow Customer Service Management, like service management, change management, or ticketing and incident management. We assess the volume of incidents or change management we will be managing and the volume of end users. Then we decide on the deployment model, either cloud or on-premises, and proceed to implement the tool.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The solution operates well, but there are limitations on customization. Sometimes there is a delay in operations. Overall, it is very stable aside from these issues.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Scalability is very important as it helps businesses run smoothly. If challenges are resolved efficiently with tools like ServiceNow Customer Service Management, it significantly impacts business operations.

How are customer service and support?

The technical support is good, but there are very few people who understand the technicalities and background configurations. More technical people should be available.

How would you rate customer service and support?

Neutral

Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?

I used different tools before, including HP Ticket Services. The lag issue is more pronounced in other tools compared to ServiceNow Customer Service Management, which led me to switch.

How was the initial setup?

I rate the initial setup as 8.5. There are some lags in ServiceNow Customer Service Management, which is why I deducted 1.5 points. Otherwise, it works very well.

What about the implementation team?

We needed about three to four people for the deployment. Now, one to two people can handle the maintenance.

What was our ROI?

The tool is very useful as it helps us run businesses smoothly. Without such tools, the business would be affected by five to ten percent in annual revenue. It provides substantial value.

What's my experience with pricing, setup cost, and licensing?

The pricing is around a seven, making it rather expensive. However, even with the cost, it is justified because it significantly aids business operations.
