ICT Manager at a legal firm with 11-50 employees
Provides good stability, but it could be intuitive and easier to use
The product’s current version could be easier and straightforward to work with small IT organizations, similar to the older version. Its asset management feature has been significantly affected since the upgrade. Earlier, it was able to perform skill-based routing automatically. We could set up parameters within the system and view the details of the incident or a ticket. The same functionality needs to be fine-tuned in the new system.
Hemanthreddy Vakiti - PeerSpot reviewer
Data engineer at a tech vendor with 10,001+ employees
Structured workflows have improved SLA compliance and now support prioritized incident handling
I think the licensing and pricing of ServiceNow is quite expensive compared to other tools. For large organizations, it is acceptable, but specifically for small and medium organizations to track incidents or change requests, ServiceNow is quite expensive. Sometimes performance can be slow when workflows and integrations are configured for complex tasks. For advanced customizations or advanced features which we rarely use, the documentation is not up to standard. The documentation needs to be improved for advanced customization features. However, the platform is stable overall and the features are quite good. The user experience and performance concerns I mentioned are areas I want to be improved. When many workflows and interactions are configured, performance is slow. For the features it is providing, it is quite expensive. If these performance features are improved, we can easily pay that price and get the return on investment.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Using their problem management process, we can use parent/child tickets and set up public views for our problem work orders."
"Our efficiency has improved drastically due to a massive reduction in phone calls."
"The initial setup is pretty easy."
"Using the Help Desk and Purchasing modules, they let us keep track of all the issues in our organization and analyze them for trends."
"The solution is quite stable, and we've found it to be reliable and free from bugs and glitches that affect its usability."
"Our users have come to expect availability and quick responses, and we are able to provide this thanks to the Track-IT! solution."
"The customization of the product and reporting capabilities have allowed us to provide upper management the graphs (data) they request that helps validate specific needs that we (IT) have."
"We use it to create and manage our work orders."
"ServiceNow is open and does not restrict you from doing a lot of things, giving you a lot of flexibility to integrate, build legacy applications, and providing a lot of functionalities."
"It's a great platform but it's so open that you can get bogged down pretty quickly in trying to make all of your customers happy."
"In 12 years, I've rarely seen a failure of their cloud hosting, if ever."
"It helped me save time—it would be more than 30% in time savings, with fewer man-hours and improved service delivery through automation capabilities."
"The workflow makes things extremely efficient and it improves effectiveness."
"Operations and maintenance costs have been reduced using this solution, and we have been able to deliver faster solutions to our customers and track progress using live data."
"I can see a very good product strategy, we see enhancements or enhanced features in each of the releases, I see the roadmap is good and the technology underneath is also good."
"I would tell you that ServiceNow is a great product to use because just from what we have, what we use, it's highly customizable and there are a lot of features that we like."
 

Cons

"The area where we would like to see improvement is in the asset management module."
"Their self-service is not user friendly."
"There are a few items that I would like changed or extra features that could be added to our current version of this software, but those are all going to be addressed in a future software update."
"The product’s current version could be easier and straightforward to work with small IT organizations, similar to the older version."
"Currently, if you go and check the reports in the packet, the reports are useless; reporting is really bad."
"Track-It! works great for a mid-size company, but anything over 700 employees, and trying to use Track-It! for any other areas of the business is difficult."
"The area where we would like to see improvement is in the asset management module."
"The solution is cumbersome to use."
"There is inherent complexity with this tool because of the number of things that it can do."
"There is a need for bug or error tracking in ServiceNow."
"When it comes to changing some of the features, I would like a little more leeway."
"A duplicate ticket option should be enabled - this feature can help to take the same information from a close incident thus decreasing manual time."
"The interface can be a bit more intuitive."
"There is a need to enhance ticket details visibility on the portal, such as displaying SLA information, which currently requires development effort."
"It has a higher cost compared to local/regional solutions."
"The customization that we are doing for the needs of our organization are difficult to do and could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"BMC Track-It!’s price is reasonable compared to other products."
"$230 per user."
"The price is okay for us. It's reasonable."
"The price could be a little lower for the solution. Many of my customers have issues with the licensing process, they have to make it easier and straightforward."
"While the option exists to pay for a monthly license, we are dealing with large enterprises and these typically involve multi-year licenses of ten or five years, at a minimum."
"I'm not aware of any additional costs. I'm pretty sure that the current client is paying just the licensing fee per user. I do know that they've got some support agreement with ServiceNow, but I don't think that is broken out or specific to Project Management. It is just inclusive."
"Initially, the licensing model ServiceNow came up with was very good. But now, from a licensing perspective, they are changing their model day by day. It is becoming a bit expensive for customers."
"The setup cost is high compared to others, especially when the scope is not fixed."
"Some time ago it was expensive, but large companies have special contracts. It's enterprise prices, and we're talking about millions per year."
