What is our primary use case?
I am currently working in ServiceNow at Symbiotic Consulting Group as a software developer. I have been using Moveworks for two years now.
We have ServiceNow integrations with Moveworks, such as filling all the catalog items that we have created. When requests come in, we handle them directly through Moveworks. We extract all necessary data from there.
We use Moveworks for catalog items so that users do not have to navigate to ServiceNow and fill out forms manually. Instead, we utilize it directly in Teams. Users can simply state that they need hardware, and the form appears right there in Teams, asking questions and collecting all necessary information to create a request.
Moveworks functions as a bot that we use in Teams. It serves as a hub containing all the platforms available in our company. It is a centralized place where we can go at any time and ask anything related to any product that we have in our company. We have integrated it with most of our products, enabling us to create requests, ask questions, retrieve information, and use it similarly to ChatGPT for correcting our work. We can ask it what kinds of things we can accomplish. For company-related matters, if a user has any PTO, we can ask how many PTOs we have right now and check PTO balance and other related information.
What is most valuable?
The main feature Moveworks offers is the out-of-the-box functionalities that Moveworks provides, which include creating requests and showing the requests that I currently have. If anyone approves a request, I can receive notification. If any request is open for me for approval, I can approve it from Teams itself without having to navigate to ServiceNow. We can accomplish almost anything and can utilize it for most of the purposes that we do regularly.
Moveworks has impacted our organization positively. We have been using Moveworks for two years now, and it is very good. I have utilized it for most of the purposes. Since I am the developer in ServiceNow, I integrated it with ServiceNow and performed all those configurations, including how Moveworks will pick all that data from ServiceNow, the integration of it, and how it works. It has impacted a lot of things in our company and has saved a tremendous amount of time.
What needs improvement?
Moveworks can definitely be improved. Currently, we have to do most of the things on our own, such as creating UI and APIs for how things will work. There are not many things that Moveworks is supporting right now. I would say it should have some features that are already present in other bots, so they should focus on those more.
Currently, Moveworks has UI policy restrictions and client script restrictions. I think they should edit it so that all these UI policies and other things are allowed. If there are some forms in Moveworks, it should capture that form and ask it in the chat from the user, taking answers one by one, rather than presenting a form to users. This would have a very positive impact.
What do I think about the stability of the solution?
Moveworks is definitely stable in my experience. Until now, in two years, we have not experienced any downtime.
What do I think about the scalability of the solution?
Moveworks's scalability has definitely handled growth and increased usage well. If I compare it to two years ago, it was not that compatible with all those technologies that were available. They are gradually increasing all those things right now and making it compatible with other devices and systems as well.
How are customer service and support?
I have reached out to customer support for Moveworks many times. Whenever I have any issue related to Moveworks, especially because I was doing development on Moveworks as well, I had some questions, and they were very helpful with those matters. I would rate customer support ten out of ten.
How would you rate customer service and support?
Which solution did I use previously and why did I switch?
Before choosing Moveworks, we were considering other solutions. There were a few more bots and alternatives available, but we chose Moveworks instead because their presentation, their bot appearance, and all those things were really fantastic in the demo.
To be honest, I do not remember all the options properly before choosing Moveworks because it has been two or three years now. There were a lot of options that we were considering, but the Moveworks presentation that we received at the time of the demo was very good, so we purchased it at that time.
What was our ROI?
We have definitely seen a return on investment with Moveworks. I do not have specific information about money saved, but I can definitely say that Moveworks saved a tremendous amount of time for us in many areas. It has been very good.
What other advice do I have?
Most of the things I have already discussed about the features, but the unexpected thing was creating paths on our own.
Before using Moveworks, it used to take almost three to four minutes for a person to navigate to ServiceNow and check what requests they have. Now, if they need to check, they simply add one sentence asking if they have any requests open and to show them all those requests, or ten requests, or twenty requests, however many they have. They can check it in one second without having to leave the Teams system.
Moveworks is a very good platform if you utilize it well. They have a lot of features that you would not know about unless you ask. I would recommend asking the customer success manager. They will let you know what kinds of things you can utilize in your organization with Moveworks. We did not know we could have reminder approvals. We can get a reminder after one week, which was also helpful. You can ask the customer success managers whenever you are working with Moveworks what all things you can utilize in your organization.
I would say they are doing very good work, but they have to maintain very high standards because the market is growing very frequently. They need to think of scenarios where others are not thinking. They should consider what all things they can do and what all products they can integrate with. My overall rating of Moveworks is seven out of ten.
