Available over the cloud, doesn't require much physical infrastructure and easy to manage
Pros and Cons
  • "The solution is available over the cloud and is easy to manage."
  • "The solution needs to make customization easier. You cannot do much customization immediately. It requires an extensive workload. If the customization process was user-friendly, it would be much better."

What is most valuable?

The solution is available over the cloud and is easy to manage.

A customer doesn't require much hardware infrastructure. There's virtual infrastructure on the cloud. Compared to in-house solutions and the maintenance required, it's quite good.

What needs improvement?

The solution needs to make customization easier. You cannot do much customization immediately. It requires an extensive workload. If the customization process was user-friendly, it would be much better.

For how long have I used the solution?

I've been using the solution for two years.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

The stability is okay, but it depends on the performance and how the user is interacting with the user login and the latency.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Scalability has to be designed and decided before implementation. It depends on how much infrastructure the client wants to invest in and their future plans. These have to be taken into consideration prior to implementation so that the sizing will be correct.

How are customer service and support?

Technical support is okay, but it takes a while to get issues resolved after submitting them or to get them to the next level because the initial support level isn't so technical in their knowledge.

How was the initial setup?

The initial setup has a moderate level of difficulty. It's not simple, but it's not overly complex.

What about the implementation team?

We're a consulting firm; we're experienced with the solution, so for us, setups are pretty straightforward and we handle them for the client.

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

The pricing in the industry is competitive. There are multiple vendors with the same enterprise-level solutions. Initially, the pricing was okay, but we can see they are starting to increase their pricing, however, in comparison to other effective solutions, it's fine. There may be other costs above the licensing fee as well.

What other advice do I have?

We use the on-premises deployment model.

I'd rate the solution nine out of ten. It would help to offer global infrastructure monitoring. It doesn't give much visibility on the satellite or other infrastructure monitoring such as monitoring of servers, and applications, etc.

Powerful application vulnerability scanner, good support, and good value for the money
Pros and Cons
  • "My favorite feature is the application vulnerability scanner."
  • "The threat intelligence module needs a better dashboard."

What is our primary use case?

We are a solution provider and ServiceNow is one of the products that we implement for our clients. Of the different ServiceNow modules, we are familiar with several, including Security Operations.

ServiceNow integrates with the helpdesk and our clients use it to manage their tickets. It is also used to keep track of security incidents and run periodic scans.  

What is most valuable?

My favorite feature is the application vulnerability scanner.

What needs improvement?

The threat intelligence module needs a better dashboard.

Having a single, unified dashboard that gives me a 360-degree view of all of the modules would be very useful.

What do I think about the stability of the solution?

I have not noticed any issues with stability.

What do I think about the scalability of the solution?

Scalability has not been a problem.

How are customer service and technical support?

The technical support is very good.

How was the initial setup?

I have not personally deployed this product but from the feedback that I have heard, my understanding is that it is pretty easy.

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

This product is a good value for the money.

What other advice do I have?

This is a product that I recommend, although I would advise consulting with them before beginning the implementation.

I would rate this solution a nine out of ten.

Reduces time to closure and closure metrics for vulnerabilities.

How has it helped my organization?

It has deployed a process framework to support a commonly unstructured security operations team.

What is most valuable?

Definitely a slick solution based on the ServiceNow platform. It is easy to learn, deploy, and administer. A good array of integration options to the most popular security discovery tools, and integration with the rest of the ServiceNow platform provides huge benefits.
