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.

Seamless data integration and advanced automation improve service delivery efficiency
I think that nothing needs to be improved with the product; you just need the user to commit and spend appropriate time to overcome that learning curve. Once that is done, the product itself is pretty wonderful. I've seen a very nicely built interface with ServiceNow, and I've also seen the ugliest version that feels outdated. ServiceNow does allow that team to exist. They should modernize their fonts and their layout, the UI friendliness. They did introduce AI, chatbots, and AI on the back end, so that's wonderful and extremely useful if you train it. If you don't train it, it's pretty useless. Assessing the impact of ServiceNow's automation on service delivery times is complicated. The engineers who operate on ServiceNow find it isn't straightforward because the data set is accessible by everybody. The problem is that understanding how to manage that data set requires an enormous amount of engineering skill set to run the product. I would not hand the key to the customer; I would highly recommend that ServiceNow take control of that. Instead of offering support for the software, they should offer administrative support for the software. They should provide professional service or some kind of support system that allows us to use their product at a faster pace. I'm sure they offer something, but it's often outrageously expensive, or they rely on another company to resell their product and offer professional service. It makes no sense in my opinion, and they should offer the team at the front to help customize the product to fit each company's needs, as every company has different demands and forms of submitting a request that need adjustment over time.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Using the Help Desk and Purchasing modules, they let us keep track of all the issues in our organization and analyze them for trends."
"Our efficiency has improved drastically due to a massive reduction in phone calls."
"Using their problem management process, we can use parent/child tickets and set up public views for our problem work orders."
"We can manually capture the assets available within the location."
"As a department, we have been able to identify problems and resolve them faster because of the centralized database."
"The initial setup is pretty easy."
"Our users have come to expect availability and quick responses, and we are able to provide this thanks to the Track-IT! solution."
"We use it to create and manage our work orders."
"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."
"I like that it's always up and running."
"Your time-to-market, or TTM, becomes faster when you use ServiceNow. Even individuals that are not tech savvy can quickly change processes and workflows in it. This can make the organization as a whole more agile."
"We have found the service easy to use, although, we have ended up customising a lot of parameters."
"You can scale the solution."
"The solution has very good automation tools."
"There are features included in the new release for intelligent software, like the chatbot. For HR services, the HR agent which is in that chatbot has been fantastic."
"ServiceNow provides quite good insights about what is happening in the organization."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"Their self-service is not user friendly."
"The area where we would like to see improvement is in the asset management module."
"The solution is cumbersome to use."
"The product’s current version could be easier and straightforward to work with small IT organizations, similar to the older version."
"The solution could be made cheaper. Machine learning and artificial intelligence should be introduced in the next release."
"An area for improvement would be the accessibility of downloaded and compressed files."
"There are sometimes challenges with the portal being a bit confusing for new users. The implementation of the portal and workspaces is quite different, and improvements in this area would be beneficial."
"The Express edition does not allow the option for scripting."
"It became kind of complex to set it up without a general lack of knowledge of the particular feature-function capabilities. Features and capabilities could have been explained better to the end-users."
"The customer service of the product right now isn't very good. It's an aspect they really need to improve."
"Compared to other products that I have been using, it is not as user-friendly."
"It should enhance its offerings by providing the chance to obtain course certifications at an affordable fee."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"BMC Track-It!’s price is reasonable compared to other products."
"The license model is based on a number of fulfillers (active users who play some role within the ServiceNow functionality). Therefore, you can serve as many end-users as you want, without additional costs."
"The licenses are expensive."
"In Tunisia, the companies find the licensing costs to be expensive."
"The solution is expensive."
"It is an expensive platform."
"Isn't pricing always too much? We really do chafe at the ITIL licensing. ITOM is also pretty expensive."
"It is very expensive because it is a big organization. You have to pay for additional things."
"The solution is priced for medium to enterprises sized businesses. However, it is expensive compared to competitors."
