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

"Our efficiency has improved drastically due to a massive reduction in phone calls."
"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."
"Using their problem management process, we can use parent/child tickets and set up public views for our problem work orders."
"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."
"We can manually capture the assets available within the location."
"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."
"I think ServiceNow is highly stable. These kinds of tools are used in a big company, and I haven't seen any issues in terms of the core platform."
"It's great for keeping everyone informed in the company - not just IT. Everyone becomes aware of change requests and incidents so the entire company is on the same page."
"It offers enhanced and efficient communication between the requester and the four pillar EDR through an online chat platform."
"Flexibility is the most valuable feature of ServiceNow, that is, being able to modify it to do what we need it to do."
"It facilitates the monitoring of major incidents and provides insights into the effort expended to resolve each incident."
"The solution is stable, scalable and easy to use."
"ServiceNow provides quite good insights about what is happening in the organization."
"The most recent addition of SAM Premium is a game changer for many organizations."
 

Cons

"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 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."
"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."
"Their self-service is not user friendly."
"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."
"Needs additional software titles and easier normalization."
"We are struggling with the scheduling part, but it doesn't necessarily mean that it is a ServiceNow issue. It could be the way we have configured it. We don't have it configured in a way where you can schedule a support call with our end users. We are looking for more automation in the box and the chat feature."
"ServiceNow claims to help a lot, but once you sell the product, it's as if you're on your own."
"Making a mobile version would be helpful."
"While ServiceNow has many options, the number of options can sometimes be confusing regarding where to click or how things work, as it is based on configuration provided by the administrator."
"The major area for improvement for our needs would be monitoring the metrics of the times to acknowledge and resolve issues and escalations."
"The product’s standard user experience is not the best."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"BMC Track-It!’s price is reasonable compared to other products."
"It has a higher cost compared to local/regional solutions."
"The licensing expenses are excessively high."
"ServiceNow pricing is an art, not a science. The deal depends on how commercially savvy you are, which does make it something that is quite difficult to get right. It is most definitely an opportunity area for ServiceNow to improve and have more visibility around pricing of the different products within the platform."
"The pricing is on the high side, but if you look at the stability and option to work, it's kind of justified."
"ServiceNow's pricing is comparatively higher than Helix's."
"ServiceNow is an expensive solution."
"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."
"It is an expensive platform."
