A scalable, full-package solution with a tech support team that bends over backwards to help
My team is currently using this solution as our backlog management tool. We have both an on-prem version and a public cloud. We have some traditional software development teams that are using the on-prem version. For our cloud version, right now we have non-software teams that are experimenting…

A tool that offers useful templates and is very easy to integrate with CI/CD tools
Initially, I faced some difficulties with the product's initial setup phase. After handling the setup phase for other applications, I don't feel the need to take much time to handle the integration or implementation part attached to the solution. The solution is deployed on the public cloud services offered by Azure. The time needed to take care of the deployment phase of the solution depends on the project and the weightage of an application in an environment. It is important to see how long it takes to handle the deployment process stage by stage. During the product's testing part, it takes time since there is a need to take care of the integration part along with unit testing, functional testing, and performance testing before it is made available specifically for an environment after considering aspects from a security point of view. After the aforementioned aspects are taken care of, the product needs to go for business approvals and then through stages, including the QA stage, before reaching the final stage related to production and deployment. Our organization has more than 20 applications that we manage with the help of the solution, because of which most of the things are automated across the company, and only three or four people are sufficient to handle all the applications.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Agility is highly flexible. It can do much more than what our client is doing with it. They use it in a defined way. Some at that company have a much broader knowledge of agile and SAFe, but they're given applications and a mandated way to work. We had to work within their parameters and provide an accurate transition so the data would be mapped and pushed through."
"It allows my clients to have one central tool to manage their agile projects."
"It can generate reports showing a burndown chart, burnup chart, and the planned vs actual velocity."
"With some of the other tools, you have to buy 20 different plugins to get to the same capability that comes with the basic Agility capability."
"For visualization capabilities, the automation capabilities make it possible to support the different personas. The features and capabilities are excellent and come with excellent support."
"It's very user-friendly. It has a reporting side that is very automated. There are a lot of things that you can automate using that tool."
"We use it for a lot of things, and it is really good for our use cases. We use it for our help desk and knowledge management, which is really good. When it comes to modules, it has an incident module, which is really good for us in terms of tracking our cases and incidents. Its change management module is really good, and it also has customization capabilities."
"The API part of the solution is very easy to integrate with CI/CD tools, which helps our company achieve our goals related to the integration part."
"I have found the ease of CACD integration to be the most valuable feature."
 

Cons

"The user interface can be improved by adding Save, Edit, Add, Cancel, and Return buttons to the popup windows that are displayed when you click on a child item."
"Improve how to create and track releases. Currently, I have to create child projects."
"There is room for improvement in getting the analytics portion of the solution more integrated with the rest of it."
"The machine learning features are a new capability but could be improved. This is being worked by Digital.ai currently. Multicolor simulation, specifically, could be improved."
"In my work as a contractor, it's always frustrating when a client has multiple software applications that don't talk to each other and they all perform the same function. That presents a huge challenge between their IT groups."
"From a documentation point of view, there are certain areas of concern, and improvements are to be made to make the documentation part clearer and crisper."
"Its performance is really bad. When you're on the hosted cloud, it gives you the time it takes for a transaction to happen, and it takes anything from 20 seconds to a minute, which is a really long time. Something that is really annoying in this solution is that when you click on the Back button to go back, you don't go back to the previous screen. You go back all the way to the homepage. It is really annoying and painful. Its UI is also pretty dated. It is very customizable, but the customization seems to be clunky. We have a separate team that owns the ServiceNow implementation. They control how it is customized. Its customizations are pretty extensive, and it takes us a while to get them done, which is painful. That could be because of our internal team, as opposed to the product itself. When it comes to DevOps, there are better solutions such as Atlassian and Azure DevOps. ServiceNow DevOps is an ITIL product that is trying to be something else. DevOps is not its prime purpose, even though it is capable of doing that. Trying to be too many things by one platform is not a good idea. They should focus on the ITIL space and not get into all other spaces."
"The roles for the ServiceNow administration side could be improved. I think they could be more specific or add the descriptions for the different roles."
"Pricing is our biggest concern with the solution."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"You get what you pay for. Don't let your development teams dictate what the portfolio management team should use as the main tool."
"Comparing the pricing to other products, I think this solution is in the middle."
"It's very expensive, so some organizations can't afford the additional license."
"We consider the pricing to be inordinately expensive and may deter others from choosing the solution"
"Though it is an expensive solution, it is an affordable one, in my opinion."
