Chief Technology Officer at a tech services company with 1-10 employees
Business processes are automated efficiently with a well-designed interface
There is room for improvement in integrations and customizations for AgilePoint and other low-code, no-code solutions. Additionally, the marketing of such products should be more honest. They often claim to solve all process automation needs, but they only handle problems of certain complexity. AgilePoint cannot handle highly complex processes like ERPs.

Data Engineer at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Structured workflows have improved SLA compliance and now support prioritized incident handling
I think the licensing and pricing of ServiceNow is quite expensive compared to other tools. For large organizations, it is acceptable, but specifically for small and medium organizations to track incidents or change requests, ServiceNow is quite expensive. Sometimes performance can be slow when workflows and integrations are configured for complex tasks. For advanced customizations or advanced features which we rarely use, the documentation is not up to standard. The documentation needs to be improved for advanced customization features. However, the platform is stable overall and the features are quite good. The user experience and performance concerns I mentioned are areas I want to be improved. When many workflows and interactions are configured, performance is slow. For the features it is providing, it is quite expensive. If these performance features are improved, we can easily pay that price and get the return on investment.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"I like the design and the integration capacity, and it's also easy to use."
"The solution's workflows are its most useful feature."
"AgilePoint has improved our organization by making form implementation easier and to plan for future growth."
"The initial setup of AgilePoint was very easy."
"AgilePoint's most valuable feature is process management."
"AgilePoint's automation is excellent in managing different user roles and handling data associated with a particular instance of the workflow."
"Anytime companies need any solution with workflow, they can base it on AgilePoint, because AgilePoint allows companies to design and implement workflows very fast using the system's interface."
"As an end user, I would rate it a seven out of ten."
"It's a very low-code platform, and it's simple. The user experience is also really good."
"ServiceNow gives us a lot for free: workflows, organizational structures, service portal, forms, reporting, disaster recovery, and so on."
"I really like what they've done with their common service data model because now I can make a connection between the business process and technology."
"It is user-friendly and simple to use."
"The most valuable feature by far of ServiceNow is the rapid development, how quickly you can actually go out and change things, adapt things, ready to fulfill the business needs."
"The most recent addition of SAM Premium is a game changer for many organizations."
"The feature that I have found most valuable from ServiceNow is the ability to assign sub-tasks to different teams, including problem tickets and the regular and chain tasks."
 

Cons

"Integrations and customizations should be improved in AgilePoint and other low-code solutions."
"They should add more information about functionality."
"While the platform is good and it has a lot of options, I would like to see more alternative features in future versions such as connectors to IDM. Currently, they have only ADFS and Okta."
"Technical support is very slow to respond and they need to be quicker in getting back to clients when problems arise."
"It could be more flexible, but it's already a good solution for the designer."
"The solution should be able to support Docker. This would help make scalability easier."
"Some issues with AgilePoint's design, AI and UX are some of the major problems we deal with when handling our company's business models or processes."
"The pricing structure could be more budget-friendly."
"The visuals are the one area where there is opportunity for improvement."
"I think they also should rethink the way they license the tool because it’s too expensive to automate all of your business, but you’ll need lots of licenses."
"I'm not sure if they have the software-as-a-catalogue yet, as far as bringing in the software titles with all of the rules of engagement for the software licensing."
"To make ServiceNow better, they should reduce their pricing, especially because there's a lot of competition. Many customers have moved to ManageEngine because they cannot afford the license cost."
"I have enjoyed all the features. There is not any feature that I have missed or didn't have."
"When you want to get a little more value out of the product and pull data from multiple modules and do something that isn't built-in and is a user-configurable thing, it gets ugly."
"Discovery is not immediate, and there is a lag."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"It is more cost-effective than local tools."
"I think the price is reasonable."
"Price-wise, AgilePoint is a cheap tool and a standard application for running analytics in an IT environment."
"I believe the pricing has changed recently. We had purchased one license per server, and it was about $2,000. It was a one-time payment. It's possible that they have recently implemented a new cost structure and now have yearly subscriptions."
"Getting the solution up and running is expensive."
"Certainly, from a product-platform perspective, the price is not too bad."
"I know that it's not too bad because people continue to use it and they are happy to renew up their contract."
"The price is okay for us. It's reasonable."
"The licensing cost is based on your partnership with ServiceNow and what you have selected for implementation. There is an annual license cost which is calculated based on your number of devices."
"This is a pretty expensive product, so the licensing could be better."
"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."
"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."
