Sentiment score
7.0
Organizations found ServiceNow enhanced efficiency and satisfaction, with cost reductions and strong internal process improvements despite pricing concerns.
They have removed the costs associated with on-prem infrastructure, including data center costs, power costs, and physical server costs.
The return on investment is good when implementing for ourselves and for other clients.
 

Customer Service

Sentiment score
7.0
Bizagi offers efficient customer service with occasional delays; premium plans improve responsiveness, though inconsistencies exist for others.
Sentiment score
7.1
ServiceNow's customer service is generally effective, though technical support is variable, with community reliance and improvement needed.
It is a community product, there is not much support we can expect.
The toolset is very intuitive, so we didn’t need to contact their support much.
The support is exemplary and deserves a perfect rating.
Obtaining support for maintenance is the current challenge because they don't have a presence in the local market.
I have contacted them four to five times over the past two years, and they have been quite helpful.
 

Scalability Issues

Sentiment score
6.6
Bizagi is scalable and suitable for medium-sized businesses, with growth potential and performance reliant on infrastructure quality.
Sentiment score
7.5
ServiceNow is praised for scalability and flexibility, effectively handling growth despite varying performance and potential cost considerations.
There is no direct scalability option.
If I rate scalability from one to ten, I would probably give it a six.
There are no limitations or performance issues with ServiceNow; it is cloud-based, so it is highly scalable and performs well.
It is capable of vertical scaling with no issues.
I rate the scalability of ServiceNow as an eight on a scale of one to ten.
 

Stability Issues

Sentiment score
7.0
Bizagi is reliable with minor update issues, appreciated for performance and stability, but occasional bugs accompany new features.
Sentiment score
7.7
ServiceNow offers high stability and reliability, with minimal downtime, rapid resolution, and efficient support despite minor integration issues.
It is cloud-based, so it is highly scalable and performs well.
I haven't faced any issues with stability; I've rarely seen any downtime.
ServiceNow is stable enough.
 

Room For Improvement

Bizagi requires enhancements in performance, integration, user interface, pricing, documentation, automation, reporting, marketing, and support.
ServiceNow faces critiques for its outdated interface, costly licensing, complex customization, and inadequate support and documentation.
Reporting capabilities can be improved more, and community support should be increased.
For more mature environments, the integration to live systems is lacking, which affects its applicability.
There is a need for bug or error tracking in ServiceNow.
Their customer support could make it a great solution, not just product support but also their relationship with partners and training initiatives in different regions.
From a functionality perspective, the features in ServiceNow are acceptable as, at the moment, the ITSM modules rank highly, being 13 plus Pink Elephant certified, which is a good aspect to have.
 

Setup Cost

Bizagi offers a free modeler while the full BPM suite, with revised licensing prices, favors larger enterprises over smaller ones.
ServiceNow is costly yet valued by large enterprises for its functionality, though its pricing is high compared to competitors.
Bizagi's pricing is very aggressive, and it was one of the reasons we chose it.
ServiceNow's pricing can be justified if more functionality is required.
ServiceNow is expensive for all regions.
 

Valuable Features

Bizagi offers a user-friendly, BPMN 2.0 compliant platform excelling in process modeling and automation with fast, agile development.
ServiceNow's platform offers customization, integration, and workflow automation, enhancing productivity and collaboration for IT service management.
It is open source.
The user interface is very good, making it easy for business people to understand.
ServiceNow provides a wide range of functionality, covering all the necessary modules, unlike Jira which is primarily for IT.
Automation capabilities are impressive, bolstered by a vast repository of out-of-the-box connectors and plugins that facilitate integration with various applications worldwide.
The features of ServiceNow that I find most valuable include its ability to easily access ticket details if you know the ticket number, monitor the timeline of when the ticket was created, and see the current status.

Featured Reviews

Paparao Nadipineni - PeerSpot reviewer
Enables budget review efficiency with open source advantages and workflow orchestration
Definitely, right now, it is purely open source, and we don't have much community support. If they add a few more capabilities like AIML and DocGen AI, these features would be good. Reporting capabilities can be improved more, and community support should be increased. Otherwise, people cannot onboard that particular technology easily.
Nikhil Gohil - PeerSpot reviewer
Enables effective incident management and seamless workflow automation with valuable mobile accessibility
I haven't thought deeply about improvements for ServiceNow or what might be missing right now. There are so many modules and features in ServiceNow that I haven't explored them all, so it's hard to say what might be missing or should be improved. I suggest making the cost more affordable for smaller companies.
