Featured Reviews

Carlos Arellano - PeerSpot reviewer
UX/UI Designer at Clarion Events
Research pricing and user experiences has become efficient but reporting and UI still need improvement
I believe Alida requires a full redesign to better organize the information architecture. It is essential for me to operate a platform that is easy for designers and non-designers alike, and I envision enhancements in navigation and onboarding features that intuitively guide users through their specific research projects. When it comes to improvements, the emphasis should be on the reporting capabilities and synthesizing information efficiently for stakeholders while ensuring user consent is managed appropriately. Making it easy for users to understand and share reports without requiring extensive platform access would be beneficial. Although Alida appears to be stable for scalability, the clunky UI detracts from its effectiveness. I opted to use Alida due to existing organizational structures and consented user pools rather than switching to potentially better platforms that I had previously considered.
BasilJiji - PeerSpot reviewer
System engineer at a retailer with 10,001+ employees
Structured ticket workflows have improved resolution speed and have supported SLA-driven support
ServiceNow Customer Service Management is offering very good things, but I felt improvements to our process would allow us to depend on this tool in many other ways. Regarding the interface, currently the user who creates the ticket has a very limited interface with only the options for creating a ticket and providing details, while the support team has a much larger interface with many options, including SLA details and report generation. While this classification is great, I felt that some modifications could be brought to the interface. I felt that further modifications can be made so that it could be a perfect tool.

Cons

"I believe Alida requires a full redesign to better organize the information architecture."
"The product lacks customization capabilities. In the future, the product should include more options for customization to be able to meet the demands of the customers."
"ServiceNow Customer Service Management works fine for me, for now, so there isn't any room for improvement I see in it. In the next release of the tool, I'd like users to be able to download all reports because as a user, I can only download a limited number of reports from ServiceNow Customer Service Management, but my management team can do so. I'm unsure if it's a feature that's included in the tool or not."
"Sometimes ServiceNow Customer Service Management lags, meaning the speed is low or there is a delay in operations."
"I do not have any notes for improvements."
"ServiceNow Customer Service Management is offering very good things, but I felt improvements to our process would allow us to depend on this tool in many other ways."
"In terms of the initial setup of ServiceNow Customer Service Management, the complexity of scripting is challenging. Sometimes, extensive scripting is required and many checks have to be made to add basic functionality."
"ServiceNow Customer Service Management is expensive, with costs around half a million US dollars per year. While suitable for enterprises and medium-sized clients, it may be cost-prohibitive for smaller businesses."
"The product's AI feature should be improved."
