Comprehensive incident management module
ServiceNow is a very good product, but it's widely used in the industry. Overall, I'll give it an eight out of ten. I would advise customers that this is a very useful setup. We get a lot of real incidents, apart from false incidents. Also, ServiceNow has its pro application setup related to AI ops. So, as per the customer, if we need to figure out any issue, we can initially use the standard ServiceNow application. After that, if we separate ServiceNow using AI ops, we can get many features. It is machine learning and AI-based. After that, we can get a lot of features. In normal ServiceNow, we have to search for routers and other things, but we can get these things automatically from the system in AI operations. So, there is a set of things we can advise the customer in such a way.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The intention and the idea of the filter is great."
"Its analytical capability is really good."
"The alerting feature is very good because it allows you to set MOS alerts at various network junctures or data points."
"All in all, LiveAction LiveNX has become an indispensable tool for maintaining and improving our network's reliability and performance, ultimately supporting our organization's goal of providing timely and dependable delivery services."
"We don't have any complaints about the software. According to my team, it's a very good tool that's very intuitive."
"One of the valuable features is the ability to create CLI scripts on the fly to fix any issues. We were using it for QoS modeling to ensure that we were properly modeling QoS, and it basically said here is what you need to fix to get this QoS done, whether it is ACL or something else. It would either push or recommend. If you have the right credentials, you could also push. It is very good if you are a Cisco shop. It gives you reporting, latency, and bandwidth utilization for your applications, so you can do good capacity management planning. There are a lot of pieces that LiveNX can give you. It is a total NPM solution for SD-WAN."
"The product has a very good graphical interface."
"It is easy to use and simple to learn."
"It is flexible. You can tune it, more or less, as you want."
"The initial setup is very straightforward. A person just needs to join a team to access the network and that's all."
"Provides everything in one solution."
"The solution allows you to subscribe to the features you need and utilize CMDB, ITSM, and discovery on the same platform."
"The way this solution has helped us is that it improved our communication."
"Has service mapping, impact management, metric intelligence and health of analytics."
"It has been very useful for tracking. It has evolved a lot over time, and there is a single pane of glass where you can track and see everything."
 

Cons

"The only downside to this software is the price."
"The tool crashes sometimes when we try to pull reports simultaneously."
"Improved documentation and more responsive customer support can help in addressing issues faster."
"They need to create a more simplified UI."
"Sometimes the solution does not register devices properly and that is a bug."
"This is a horrible solution and I think everything needs to be improved."
"It is not as robust as other NPM solutions. For instance, there is a problem while labeling specific applications. It works well with well-known applications, but when you have to put in new applications that are not very known and set them up with names, ports, URLs, or some protocols, it is not as intuitive."
"The tool can be improved by including more detailed information to assist new users."
"The pricing is high."
"If you are new to using the solution, you will find the setup complex."
"ServiceNow IT Operations Management could do a little bit better with integrations. Integrating ServiceNow IT Operations Management with CMDB processes needs a little more work."
"The pattern part can be improved. Patterns are used in the Discovery feature. Although it is easy to create new patterns and modify the existing ones, it would be better if this solution can have more out-of-the-box patterns. In terms of new features, they can include artificial intelligence, something like machine learning."
"Regarding ServiceNow, there is room for improvement in terms of customization, particularly in the area of self-customization."
"Service mapping is pretty limited."
"The most complaints we have received from our clients are the solution's discovery aspect. I've heard a few concerns from the customers where we have to integrate with a third-party tool to make a full-fledged discovery along with ServiceNow. ServiceNow alone does not do the total capacity of the discovery. The discovery portion of ServiceNow IT Operations Management is not in-depth as what the customers are looking for. The information that it gathers from the assets is a little more limited than what other tools provide."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"We use the free version."
"It's very expensive."
"The solution is fairly expensive compared to other products."
"There are additional costs, you have to pay more for everything."
"This solution offers good value but comes at a very high premium. Pricing could be reduced by 10 to 20%."
"My customers pay for the ServiceNow IT Operations Management license annually. I'd rate the pricing based on value. ServiceNow IT Operations Management is a premium product as it has better features than competitors."
"I would rate the product's pricing a five out of ten since there are vendors who are cheaper."
"ServiceNow IT Operations Management is a costly solution. I'd rate the price at ten, on a scale from one to ten with one being the lowest and ten being the highest price. Some clients do have a problem with the price, but most find that the solution is worth the cost."
"While not entirely sure, I believe the solution costs at least a million dollars annually."
"It is expensive. It is around 10 Euros per server per month."
"The pricing is high and may be excluding the small to medium-sized enterprise businesses."
