I use it for. browser based systems for my own clients It's configured to make it very quick to build feature-rich systems. The only issue I would say is that they develop updates very quickly that are hard to keep up with. I have been using Alpha Anywhere for thirty years. It's stable, set up…

Enables us to have significant improvements in operational efficiency
ServiceNow is highly scalable from a customization point of view, allowing for the building of portals, adding and configuring widgets, and designing workflows as preferred. The text-to-code feature is particularly useful for turning natural language instructions into recognizable code on the ServiceNow platform, aiding both implementation teams and customers. The case summarization feature is also great, as it summarizes user comments and agent notes into a resolution code without needing to review the entire activity history.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It's very flexible."
"The CMDB is robust, with a strong data model and well-structured data."
"The main reason that people use ServiceNow is that performance is very good."
"Assignment Group history is really important to me."
"It is a stable solution...It is a scalable solution."
"ServiceNow Now Platform is quite useful, scalable, and flexible. The user interface is very good."
"Learning materials, such as online courses, are readily available."
"The tool is generally easy to use, making it a very user-friendly product."
"The solution is in Gartner's Magic Quadrant."
 

Cons

"It can be slow to develop, and it's repetitive."
"The UI is very bad and needs to be updated."
"If AI were better integrated into ServiceNow, it would lower the RPA costs and make the platform more accessible."
"ServiceNow is not open source, so there is a license you must pay. As for how much it costs, what I have observed is that it often depends on your subscriptions. Suppose that you go with some subscriptions such as IDSM or any type of package like it, then the license cost will be impacted accordingly. Similarly, the cost is also adjusted based on your headcount of how many users will be using it."
"The product's UI is ugly, making it an area where improvements are required."
"What I didn't like in the ServiceNow Now Platform is testing, particularly with Visual Studio. It had a bad integration with Visual Studio because you can't compile and run it from there. You have to debug on your own and then find out where the error is through test scripts. The testing component in the ServiceNow Now Platform isn't that great. What I'd like to see in the next version of the ServiceNow Now Platform is an improvement in testing and writing scripts, and if there was a feature to just run it from the modules, then that would be great, instead of finding the error manually and checking where it is."
"Simplifying the user interface for both users and administrators is key. It is not very intuitive."
"The programming language is currently limited to JavaScript. So I would like to see more programming languages available, especially since they have come up with the machine-learning features. Some more languages would be an additional improvement."
"The product should be integrated with Power BI."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing is mid-range.We pay only for the subscription."
"Prices vary, and they will enter into different contracts with different people."
"The solution is expensive, and I rate it a ten for pricing."
"There are extra expenses for maintaining the product apart from the licenses."
"It's expensive and if you need some analytical views of your activity, there is an additional cost."
"Pricing is based on the number of users and user licenses, but the product is 20% to 30% more than the competition."
"ServiceNow is not open source, so there is a license you must pay. As for how much it costs, what I have observed is that it often depends on your subscriptions."
"I don't have much exposure to the costs attached to the solution. I rate the product's price a six on a scale of one to ten, where one is the lowest price, and ten is the highest price since it is a costly tool."
"It is expensive only."
"The solution is expensive."
