Impact modeling boosts service mapping efficiency with great technical support

The biggest benefit in my area is impact modeling. Impact modeling helps to map a service that has different applications in it, with those applications having interdependencies with each other. When changes, incidents, problems, and so on occur, it will show exactly where the issue is, helping you to find the root cause much faster. This helps all organizations reduce their mean time to resolution.

Helpful smart automation and tracking that can be used with minimal adjustments

This is a recording system, and it's an automation system. It's very smart. I use it with minimal adjustments needed. The focus is on test management. Everything can be tracked from asset management. Asset management offers many facilities. It doesn't require additional training for ManageEngine or technicians. Assets are simply reported from the dashboard, indicating where IT is missing, where compliance is mentioned, or where action is needed, with driver updates. All facilities are available in the enterprise edition, allowing users, customers, or any organization to easily obtain their referred insights. Anyone can easily install it. There are no handbells. An app provides instructions, with documentation available. Sometimes, IT issues arise like fraud blocking or service-related problems. Upon facing an issue, feedback is integrated, and the solution is provided from their end. This is a very IT-friendly solution. We get LiveSat and IT management. Facilities are accessible, like exporting the installation folder, making the migration process easy. Failover or redundancy can occur within two to five hours, making it scalable. This is a very stable solution.

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.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"It had automation, orchestration, service level management, and event management. You could also integrate it for auto-remediation."

"The most valuable feature of the solution includes all of its components since they act as the authentication system of the product."

"It is a stable solution."

"The asset discovery feature in BMC is notably better compared to ServiceNow."

"There are a lot of features a customer can use. It’s an existing concept of asset management. One feature is the ability to create tickets for various computer systems, VPN defenses, sites, regions, or customers."

"The solution helps to manage the operational flow in our organization."

"The toolset is mature, easily integrable with various technologies due to its maturity, and has great scalability."

"It has a good peer sharing module."

More BMC Remedy [EOL] pros

"This is a very stable solution."

"The most valuable component of the ITSM tool is the help desk due to its organized way of raising tickets."

"The technical support is great."

"The ability to define custom templates for asset management helps track assets, budgets, warranties, and expiries effectively."

"ManageEngine IT Asset Management helps with guarantee and warranty period management, license expiration tracking, device patches, and integration with our finance system for depreciation and invoicing."

"It's very smart. I use it with minimal adjustments needed."

"The auto-discovery feature has helped us a lot."

More ManageEngine IT Asset Management pros

"SPM and ITSM features are the most helpful."

"The flow designer feature of ServiceNow has had the biggest impact on our productivity because it has helped me reduce manual efforts by creating automation and robotics."

"It's a straightforward and effective approach that minimizes the need for extensive explanations."

"ServiceNow is a cloud-based platform, so people won't need to worry about investing on hardware to host it. Being on the cloud, it is available 24x7. It's scalable, stable, and multifeatured, with a straightforward setup and good technical support."

"Creating a ticket is much simpler in this tool. That is one big advantage. Also, the simplicity and ease of use are much better. I've used HPSM and it is very complex in comparison to ServiceNow."

"I prefer ServiceNow to the competition because of its ease of use, installation and configuration."

"It's great to do statuses or to review tasks."

More ServiceNow pros

Cons

"BMC Remedy Asset Management could improve by adding intuitive dashboards."

"BMC Remedy could be improved by incorporating analytics and artificial intelligence (AI) modules."

"Integration and deployment could be better. It could be easier and faster to integrate and deploy. It would also help if we could have a 360-degree view. It would be better if they changed it to a SaaS type of offering, which is becoming the standard."

"Could be more user friendly for admins to manage."

"Continuous improvement is recommended."

"One area that requires improvement is the prevention of duplicates or data inconsistencies in the system."

"BMC Remedy's change management module needs enhancement."

"I would like to have more customized reporting because the management team loves customized reports with graphs."

More BMC Remedy [EOL] cons

"I hope it includes barcode features, as barcode scanning and MacAdes cannot currently be mapped with this field."

"The asset management tool is costly."

"I would love to see a digital adoption feature or guide that navigates first-time users through the application, as it is quite complex with many relevant and irrelevant elements."

"It would be helpful if there were a premium technician license that includes all the suites, eliminating the need to buy separate licenses for each feature."

"The assets that can be discovered are pretty easy to manage, but there should be a better way to manage non-discoverable assets. Our development team works on bots and tests particular hardware. They have got different varieties of hardware. They want a feature for managing these assets within a warehouse kind of environment. For example, our IT has received 100 items, and they have assigned these items as a bulk unit to a project manager. The project manager further wants to distribute these items within his or her team. Instead of maintaining a separate Excel sheet, the project manager should be able to reallocate these items from within the tool so that we have hierarchical entities for the same unit."

"It requires some development to be better, more comfortable, and usable, enhancing customer satisfaction."

"The engineering area needs improvement."

"I would love to see a digital adoption feature or guide that navigates first-time users through the application, as it is quite complex with many relevant and irrelevant elements."

More ManageEngine IT Asset Management cons

"The reporting, which also includes dashboards, needs to be improved, and there should also be the ability to turn on and off portions of Project Management. Currently, as soon as you install the new version, you've got to go back there and make all the tweaks. There should be just a configuration file that goes to the new version. The Project Management module does not leverage the knowledge base the way it should, and there is no built-in ability to get to the articles. Resource management should be easier. It would be amazing if they can make resource management a little bit more graphical. There are other solutions that I've seen where resource management was a more visual experience."

"Integration capabilities can improve."

"Where it could be improved is Discovery. This may sound odd since I just praised the value of ServiceNow Discovery, but improvements to its automatic detection, the breadth of devices, and the depth of devices covered, as well as keeping up with new technologies, are all essential."

"The challenge with ServiceNow lies in its expansive portfolio of services. It can be complex, and users may find it expensive and challenging to understand. There is a need for a configurator within ServiceNow that guides users on how to utilize the tool effectively. This configurator should provide insights into licensing, team requirements, and the best licensing model based on whether companies prefer ownership or consumption-based models."

"When it comes to changing some of the features, I would like a little more leeway."

"The solution should offer better security when it comes to storing data."

"Licensing costs are very high."

"From an HR standpoint, if users can have a very integrated onboarding or offboarding process between ServiceNow and Workday, then it can give a very good employee experience."

Pricing and Cost Advice

"BMC should decrease the pricing further."

"The licensing model of BMC Remedy Asset Management should improve. It is expensive and it is difficult to understand."

"BMC no longer sells Remedy separately. They've transitioned to selling the BMC Helix platform. Remedy itself is nearing end-of-support."

"It is an expensive tool."

"Pricing is expensive compared to lower-end solutions, but it's on par with ServiceNow."

"The pricing is on the expensive side."

"The pricing is in-between. It's not too cheap, and it's not too expensive. For a large organization, it's worth it. But for a smaller one, it might be a bit costly."

"The tool is expensive."

More BMC Remedy [EOL] pricing and cost advice

"Its price is reasonable, but I wish it was lower."

"Isn't pricing always too much? We really do chafe at the ITIL licensing. ITOM is also pretty expensive."

"The licensing cost is based on your partnership with ServiceNow and what you have selected for implementation. There is an annual license cost which is calculated based on your number of devices."

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

"The licenses are expensive."

"I rate the solution's pricing a six out of ten. The pricing for ServiceNow is based on a SaaS platform with annual contracts. However, it may not offer much flexibility for adjusting usage in the short term."

"The price is okay for us. It's reasonable."

"We know that ServiceNow is not cheap, it's more expensive than other solutions. But we are trying to increase our ability to handle tickets so that the cost per ticket is less."

"I know that it's not too bad because people continue to use it and they are happy to renew up their contract."
