Daniyal Farrakh - PeerSpot reviewer
Helpful for reporting and to do risk assessments
Within our group, I think five to six people will probably use the tool. The tool is mostly not used on an everyday basis. It is not used daily but weekly. I think the tool offers usability, and I think we can scale it. As far as our utilization is concerned, I think it is very scalable. It is very flexible. You can utilize the tool for various reasons. You can use the tool to look at your vulnerability scans and upload information. You can do risk assessments. You can do physical site assessments. I think scalability deserves five stars for sure. The scalability seems to be very easy to use and scalable and flexible.

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

"The tool's integration capabilities enhance our existing workflows and as far as the workflows are concerned, I think it is pretty seamless, intuitive, and interactive."
"The security of the solution is very good."
"The solution has been very user friendly, easy to use, and we are able to use many applications like Excel or Google sheets."
"The solution is quite efficient, elaborate, sophisticated, fast, and easy to use."
"A feature I found most valuable in AppSheet is its intuitive UI/UX design, as that makes the platform very easy for customers to use. The solution also has a drag and drop feature that's quite good. I also found AppSheet integration with the cloud platform to be quite good."
"I have found the way they structure the workflow and the fact that it a progressive application is valuable for me. This allows me to be able to build it once and use it in multiple formats."
"The solution is pretty simple to implement."
"AppSheet is easy to set up and easy to use."
"ITOM Discovery is a great feature."
"At this point, over and above what ServiceNow actually is, the key is that it's really nothing but a web service. Whether it's a form or anything, the best part is that you can easily leverage anything of ServiceNow for any application anywhere just by calling the REST endpoints and handling the request messages."
"The solution is a seamless tool that can integrate with all applications."
"ServiceNow Now Platform is very powerful in terms of data management."
"The most valuable features are the ease of use, stability, and the ability to change or upgrade seamlessly."
"The tool helps to automate IT service management processes. It's the market-leading technology. It can provide the company with chatbots and a unique process or workflow orchestration. It can be customized to the customer's specific needs, enabling semi-automatic or full automation processes. It integrates fully with SAP and offers a wide range of advantages for both us and our clients."
"The simplicity is great."
"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."
 

Cons

"The solution needs to improve its SQL database capabilities."
"No improvements are required as AppSheet is quite efficient."
"They could improve by providing more language support other than English, integrate better with other databases, and provide a better UX."
"In terms of areas for improvement in AppSheet, I do many things with it, and I'm happy with its data features. The solution has good data features, and though some basic functions may not be there, AppSheet is good enough for me at the moment. I can use it in my business. I like it, and I'm still happy with it because I'm not using it intensively. I just use AppSheet for simple tasks rather than complex ones, though the solution has many use cases. In its next release, what could make the solution better would be more partners for integration, for example, integration with SAP, particularly plugins or APIs with more partners that it could integrate with. There should be an out-of-the-box feature built for integration with more partners."
"They only give a single sign-on at a very high cost."
"AppSheet should continue to make the tool's features easy to use, such as the ability to add additional notes or notifications."
"There are now a lot of low-code or no-code applications available on the web. AppSheet is working on that path."
"There needs to be an improvement in their operation vision. They need to see things more globally because at the moment they are very North-America focused. We do not always have mobile applications and the way we use them is slightly different in Africa from the way they use them in America."
"The solution doesn't allow users to create custom tables, which would be a big improvement."
"I feel that the solution's user interface is an area with certain shortcomings, where improvements are required."
"From an improvement perspective, the product's complicated initial setup phase can be made a bit easier."
"The user experience could be improved. The current design of forms lacks intuitiveness, as there seems to be only one form available for all types of operations."
"ServiceNow Now Platform's technical support needs to improve."
"This platform is used more by large companies because it is a little bit expensive."
"They should reduce the solution's cost and make it more affordable for buyers."
"The number of API calls processed by the tool, specifically when the API calls increase, will cause a lot of load on the platform, and it tends to not work very efficiently."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The tool is available at a low price."
"There is a license required to use this solution and it costs approximately $10 per user a month. I am paying $300 a month for 30 licenses."
"In terms of how much AppSheet costs, I'm currently on the free tier, but if I need to add more users to it in the future, I will go with the paid version."
"I chose this solution because it was cheaper than other competitors."
"There are extra expenses for maintaining the product apart from the licenses."
"The product is very expensive."
"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."
"From what I heard, the license for the ServiceNow Now Platform is paid monthly, and on a scale of one to five, I'm rating it a three in terms of pricing, so it's on the cheaper side. I don't know of any additional costs associated with the ServiceNow Now Platform, apart from the standard licensing fees."
"The price of the product falls on the higher side of the spectrum."
"Pricing is based on the number of users and user licenses, but the product is 20% to 30% more than the competition."
"The pricing of this solution is done annually and it is very expensive."
