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.

Adopting flexible workflows with customized automation delivers measurable benefits
There are things that I would like to see improved in ServiceNow, such as the pricing, as it is a very costly solution compared to other tools. Additionally, its presence in the local market is very limited; in Pakistan, for example, I don't see any vendor or distributor of ServiceNow available. They need to increase their sales spectrum globally so people can easily access them and engage them for client meetings and more. 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. When providing advice to users, I would suggest they consider making strategic decisions about their per user pricing since it is very high. In our region, people normally start with 5 to 10 users, but the per user price is quite steep. Moreover, ServiceNow does not charge based on data uploaded or downloaded, so they should reconsider their pricing and data policies to align better with the financial capabilities of the region.

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 users have come to expect availability and quick responses, and we are able to provide this thanks to the Track-IT! solution."
"Track-It! has many features that help make us more efficient and cost effective as a department."
"Using their problem management process, we can use parent/child tickets and set up public views for our problem work orders."
"We use it to create and manage our work orders."
"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 can manually capture the assets available within the location."
"Our efficiency has improved drastically due to a massive reduction in phone calls."
"I like ServiceNow's Workspace feature. With Jira, we had to edit a ticket by going into it. We couldn't perform edits from within the project plan. ServiceNow allows you to edit everything from one screen. It's like an Excel spreadsheet, but Jira requires you to drill down into the ticket. ServiceNow is more convenient if you are working on multiple projects and workflows."
"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."
"What I like the most is that it's a common service data model and the fact that everything is available on one platform."
"It's a very low-code platform, and it's simple. The user experience is also really good."
"It is robust and very user-friendly."
"I really like ServiceNow and all of the features. The way incident management is built is very helpful. You have a lot of options to optimize it, customize it, and automate it. You also have a lot of options for reporting. There are plenty of possibilities to do preference management within your customer CMDB file. These are very useful features, which I missed in BMC Remedy ITSM. ServiceNow is the best ticketing tool I have used so far."
"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, which makes ServiceNow the best tool I have ever used."
"The solution has very good automation tools."
 

Cons

"The area where we would like to see improvement is in the asset management module."
"Their self-service is not user friendly."
"The solution is cumbersome to use."
"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."
"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."
"Performance could be improved."
"The ability to embed help information onto the screens."
"I have a problem with the way the solution's price is calculated."
"When we are using the solution on mobile phones on their networks the performance is reduced with a delay of approximately 8 seconds. There is less delay using the desktop computers connected to the WiFi or to the network directly."
"I would like to see more functionality in terms of custom workflows, not impacting the overall platform health."
"Its setup is tough. It takes a lot of knowledge and a lot of experience."
"The solution could improve by making the CMDB integrate with a CI better to allow it to be seen across multiple platforms."
"The interface is not user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"BMC Track-It!’s price is reasonable compared to other products."
"The cost is quite high."
"ServiceNow is an expensive solution."
"The solution is priced for medium to enterprises sized businesses. However, it is expensive compared to competitors."
"The pricing is on the high side, but if you look at the stability and option to work, it's kind of justified."
"There is an annual subscription to use this solution."
"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."
"It has a higher cost compared to local/regional solutions."
"$230 per user."
