Quotes From Members
We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use.
Here are some excerpts of what they said:
Pros
"The most valuable aspect is that is is codeless.""The product’s UI is very good.""The solution's initial setup process was quite straightforward... I rate the technical support a nine and a half out of ten."

More HaloITSM Pros →

"Very good incident management, chain management and problem management features.""We always get good support.""There are lots of modules around IT service management such as IT business management and human resource management (HRC).""I find almost all the features valuable. It can do nearly everything except make your coffee, as my colleagues always say. It's got pros and cons, like every software, but the good thing about it is that it has a very structured approach.""The biggest feature is that it is cloud-based, so it's always updated, it's always current. We don't have to worry about patches, revisions. We're always working with the latest version.""The solution is stable, scalable and easy to use.""It is a very promising product. They have a new release every six months. They're investing quite a lot, and you can do many creative things with the product. If you know how it works, you can have stricter rules in the product.""The workflow makes things extremely efficient and it improves effectiveness."

More ServiceNow Pros →

Cons
"There are no improvements needed. There is very little that HALO has not already built that is not on its roadmap.""The product does not have its own orchestration engine.""The solution's integration part needs to improve...In the future release of the solution, I expect to see certain changes in the programming of the solution. A customer of the solution should be able to customize it as per their need."

More HaloITSM Cons →

"There is inherent complexity with this tool because of the number of things that it can do.""There are a few things that it needs to improve, like automation of most things out-of-the-box. For example, when it comes to cloud management, we are still going with manual intervention. Instead of that, if we had an out-of-the-box feature available, that would be great.""The solution could improve by being more stable.""The major area for improvement for our needs would be monitoring the metrics of the times to acknowledge and resolve issues and escalations.""This solution needs to be improved for global use. Currently, it's very oriented to the processes and needs of the US customer base, like their compliance solution or GRC (Governance, Risk, and Compliance), and not so much for customers from other parts of the world. Some users may like the things that ServiceNow is improving, but those are very oriented to users based in the United States and Europe.""When it comes to changing some of the features, I would like a little more leeway.""I would like to see more functionality in terms of custom workflows, not impacting the overall platform health.""The Express edition does not allow the option for scripting."

Pricing and Cost Advice
  • "It's $69 per user per month. Only administrators need a license, and there is no limit to the number of endpoints."
  • "The solution's pricing model is good. Also, they still follow the old concurrent licensing method."
  • "The product’s pricing is competitive and less complicated."
  • More HaloITSM Pricing and Cost Advice →

  • "The first impact for the customer is that it is expensive, but do not forget that it is a solution that includes infrastructure; a single cost, easy to justify."
  • "It has a higher cost compared to local/regional solutions."
  • "We know that ServiceNow is not cheap, it's more expensive than other solutions. But we are trying to increase our ability to handle tickets so that the cost per ticket is less."
  • "It's sold as a less expensive solution, but it has to be highly modified. That's where you get into the cost."
  • "ServiceNow pricing is an art, not a science. The deal depends on how commercially savvy you are, which does make it something that is quite difficult to get right. It is most definitely an opportunity area for ServiceNow to improve and have more visibility around pricing of the different products within the platform."
  • "ServiceNow is a leader and its pricing is quite good, quite competitive... Sometimes some plugins are not priced reasonably but, generally, the platform itself, its modules, are priced reasonably."
  • "Isn't pricing always too much? We really do chafe at the ITIL licensing. ITOM is also pretty expensive."
  • "Initially, the licensing model ServiceNow came up with was very good. But now, from a licensing perspective, they are changing their model day by day. It is becoming a bit expensive for customers."
