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.

Pros

"Using their problem management process, we can use parent/child tickets and set up public views for our problem work orders."
"The solution is quite stable, and we've found it to be reliable and free from bugs and glitches that affect its usability."
"Track-It! has many features that help make us more efficient and cost effective as a department."
"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."
"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."
"The initial setup is pretty easy."
"Our efficiency has improved drastically due to a massive reduction in phone calls."
"For me and for what our business uses, I highly recommend it, but that you should look at their business case and see if you need a product as fully featured as ServiceNow is because it comes at a cost."
"ServiceNow has helped improve our organization by making it more efficient, freeing up 30% of our human resources that can be utilized on other tasks, and the solution has added value to the company."
"ServiceNow has also enabled our Management Consulting business to provide Digital Transformation services for our clients the world over, as we use the platform as an accelerator for doing IT Target Operating Model transformations."
"It is a very robust tool."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the possibility of the application development cap so that we can digitize workflows."
"The biggest feature is that it is cloud-based, so it's always updated, it's always current. We don't have to worry about patches, revisions. We're always working with the latest version."
"One of the nice things about ServiceNow is that, if you have your process, you can design the ticket and the form according to your process."
"In my experience, the solution is very stable."
 

Cons

"Currently, if you go and check the reports in the packet, the reports are useless; reporting is really bad."
"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."
"The area where we would like to see improvement is in the asset management module."
"Their self-service is not user friendly."
"The area where we would like to see improvement is in the asset management module."
"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."
"Its setup is tough. It takes a lot of knowledge and a lot of experience."
"I find the way you need to attach things like screenshots and stuff is a bit gimmicky. I'm a casual user. I'll use it once every two months and only when I have an incident that I need to report. You don't get a lot of experience with it when you're just using it once in a while like that. Therefore, it needs to be more intuitive so that you don't have to re-learn how to do simple tasks as the way to do certain things just isn't obvious."
"The asset management application could be improved. They have a lot of the infrastructure built, but it does not come with already made compatibility with some of the most popular vendors, such as Cisco and Microsoft. You have to fix it yourself."
"They can maybe improve the area of agile project management. They do have user storyboards and other things, but we kind of lean on Jira for that work. This is perhaps an area that could be looked at a little more."
"I find the way you need to attach things like screenshots and stuff is a bit gimmicky."
"The biggest issue that I see is the way that they license some of their add-on products."
"I feel like there should be perhaps more unit testing before patches are rolled out because every patch has broken our entire catalog."
"The Service Portal could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"BMC Track-It!’s price is reasonable compared to other products."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"They could be more competitive with their licensing."
"There are licensing fees."
"I would say it is moderately expensive, ranging from six to seven on a scale of ten."
"The setup cost is high compared to others, especially when the scope is not fixed."
