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

"You can customize alerts based on need."
"It's very easy to manage and use."
"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 is a market leader and is very implementation-friendly. Developers have a clear understanding of how the solution works, and it is mature enough to handle different client needs."
"The scalability of ServiceNow is good."
"It includes a valuable feature called Discovery, that aids in application portfolio management, enabling visibility into IT infrastructure from top to bottom."
"ServiceNow IT Operations Management is a stable product."
"It's easy to set up."
"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."
"I like the solution due to the fact that it's scalable."
"The dashboard maintenance is very good, and the tool doesn't get stuck."
 

Cons

"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 dashboard needs to improve."
"The machine-learning is lacking and should be improved."
"There is a slower learning curve associated with the tool's scripting part. It is also not cheap."
"The initial setup phase was hard and could be made easier."
"ServiceNow IT Operations Management could be improved by providing more user customization options."
"My managers would say that the price is too high. We wanted to also have the visibility version of it, but it's too expensive for us. Going for visibility would have doubled up the price."
"The pattern part can be improved. Patterns are used in the Discovery feature. Although it is easy to create new patterns and modify the existing ones, it would be better if this solution can have more out-of-the-box patterns. In terms of new features, they can include artificial intelligence, something like machine learning."
"Lacks the ability to do its own monitoring."
"The solution's licensing model is a bit complicated. It should be simple and easy for people to understand."
"ServiceNow IT Operations Management could do a little bit better with integrations. Integrating ServiceNow IT Operations Management with CMDB processes needs a little more work."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"We obtained discovery licenses at about seven dollars Australian per unit, which we found to be reasonable and competitive."
"The cost of ServiceNow is much higher."
"There are additional costs, you have to pay more for everything."
"I would rate the product's pricing a five out of ten since there are vendors who are cheaper."
"The pricing is high and may be excluding the small to medium-sized enterprise businesses."
"It is expensive. It is around 10 Euros per server per month."
"The solution offers yearly licenses and a subscription model for add-on features."
"It has different subscription models."
