User-friendly, simple to set up and easy to configure
The dashboard needs to improve. It's not so clear right now. We need it to be more usable. We want all of our reports in one easy-to-access place. Sometimes we get stuck and have to rest the gateway. After we do that, it'll start working again. We're still new to the product and we're not using every aspect of it.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The most valuable feature of Avantra is automation. The reduction of manual work and having them automated is one of the top reasons why I would use it."
"It's very easy to manage and use."
"The most valuable features of ServiceNow IT Operations Management are ease of use, intuitive design, and ease of management, and its based on IT practices which are good."
"The way this solution has helped us is that it improved our communication."
"Has service mapping, impact management, metric intelligence and health of analytics."
"From my perspective as an asset manager, the most valuable feature of the solution is the configuration management portion, where I can actively add something to the database."
"As a product, ServiceNow IT Operations Management is pretty strong, and it can discover non-IP devices."
"The initial setup is very straightforward. A person just needs to join a team to access the network and that's all."
"The most important features of ServiceNow IT Operations Management are the discovery service mapping and orchestration."
"I like the tool's discovery feature."
 

Cons

"The machine-learning is lacking and should be improved."
"The dashboard needs to improve."
"We are currently exploring automation options for various areas, and Avantra should consider implementing automation for change request management, an area they have not yet ventured into. While Avantra is currently excelling in monitoring and system refreshes, there is scope for improvement in automating change request management. In addition to primarily focusing on SAP, Avantra currently performs kernel patches which are core SAP patches. However, exploring more into OS patching could be another potential area for Avantra to expand its automation capabilities."
"The vendor support rates between five to six because it takes a lot of time to get issues resolved, whether minor or major. For minor issues, the team takes a month's time to provide a fix."
"ServiceNow IT Operations Management is not very affordable. It is affordable for organizations with a minimum of 5,000 users plus."
"We are facing difficulties with service mapping of CIs from the end users, and are seeking help from third-party vendors."
"The licensing model of the product is a bit rigid, and it can be a bit difficult to downscale if your needs change while also being expensive."
"I believe that technical support could improve a bit. I would rate it a six."
"The initial setup phase was hard and could be made easier."
"The solution's licensing model is a bit complicated. It should be simple and easy for people to understand."
"I would like more manual issues to have automated report-facing options."
