The solution is stable and has good support, but is expensive

Betty Blocks, when I started with it, was similar to a back-end platform with the ability to have a standardized back-office UI out of the box, which is perfect for a lot of situations. For more customer-facing UIs, we had to create the front end ourselves, building endpoints with HTML and JavaScript. Then Betty Blocks started in 2018 with the page builder. This allowed us to create drag-and-drop interfaces. That was quite cumbersome. Now Betty Blocks is entering a new generation of it - next generation forms - which should be a lot better. The most valuable feature is the back end. The way we can create action flows for things such as sending emails, creating PDF reports, or connecting to web services is very complete. I never experience a lack of functionality in it. The standardized back-office UI is said to be deprecated over time, which is a shame, because it is a real time-saver and is one of their strong points, only if it was kept up-to-date.

Have reduced L1 dependency and improved incident resolution through AI-powered automation

To make ServiceNow better, they should reduce their pricing, especially because there's a lot of competition. Many customers have moved to ManageEngine because they cannot afford the license cost. The price should be reduced by at least 40%. The setup of ServiceNow is sometimes complex when new updates or versions are released. When they introduce something new, they should provide training to understand the new features and their functionality. We sometimes get stuck and have to call them to learn about the changes in the latest version. They should communicate the changes made from older versions to new versions, which features are not available, which features have changed, and how to implement them. If the communication part was handled properly, it would benefit us.

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 is the back end."

"Some of the valuable features I have found the solution to have are it can serve many different types of businesses, it has strong platform capabilities, provides application development, built-in predictive intelligence, and performance analytics reports."

"I like the reporting aspect of it. It helps us know where we stand regarding the types of issues we're receiving... It also shows us trends. That enables us to possibly predict an issue that might come up in the future as well as what is happening right now. We will like that feature. With it, we can either avoid certain issues or know where we need to focus more regarding the service we provide."

"Primarily, we use it for incident management and change across the landscape. It is the virtual repository for our incident management processes. It gives us visibility about what's happening from the change management perspective across our CABs, including our enterprise CABs."

"The biggest feature is that it is cloud-based, so it's always updated, it's always current. We don't have to worry about patches, revisions. We're always working with the latest version."

"SPM and ITSM features are the most helpful."

"It allows us to filter the data, create graphs, and get detailed reports."

"I like the incident module, which is useful for tracking your incidents and other things. It is a reliable solution."

"Data in reports and dashboards are easily accessible."

Cons

"In many cases, they make choices where flexibility is a little bit degraded, but if you leave everything open and the flexibility is great then the usability is a little bit less."

"What I find lacking in the software is its ability to query the database."

"I would like to see full integration with AI."

"It's not user-friendly by default, but it can be customized to be customer-friendly."

"System deployment and automation capabilities could be within the platform, similar to competitors."

"They need to be providing vendors and implementation partners with materials and guidance on implementation."

"It's missing monitoring capabilities."

"The solution could be made cheaper. Machine learning and artificial intelligence should be introduced in the next release."

"The technical support SLA can be improved because sometimes they take a long time to answer our queries."

"The interface requires an upgrade."

"There is a need for bug or error tracking in ServiceNow."

More ServiceNow cons

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The pricing structure that we have been working with was based on a number of blocks."

"The pricing is quite high, but the pricing is also not very transparent."

"The solution is expensive."

"For large-scale companies, the cost of ServiceNow is not expensive, but for small and mid-scale companies, it is higher."

"The solution is priced for medium to enterprises sized businesses. However, it is expensive compared to competitors."

"I would say it is moderately expensive, ranging from six to seven on a scale of ten."

"The pricing is reasonable and affordable, making it suitable for businesses ranging from small to large scale."

"There are licensing fees."

"We are happy with the pricing."

"Some time ago it was expensive, but large companies have special contracts. It's enterprise prices, and we're talking about millions per year."
