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.

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

"Track-It! has many features that help make us more efficient and cost effective as a department."
"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 initial setup is pretty easy."
"We can manually capture the assets available within the location."
"Our efficiency has improved drastically due to a massive reduction in phone calls."
"As a department, we have been able to identify problems and resolve them faster because of the centralized database."
"Our users have come to expect availability and quick responses, and we are able to provide this thanks to the Track-IT! solution."
"Using their problem management process, we can use parent/child tickets and set up public views for our problem work orders."
"I find the incident management part to be the most valuable. That's how the service desk tracks tickets."
"It is a very promising product. They have a new release every six months. They're investing quite a lot, and you can do many creative things with the product. If you know how it works, you can have stricter rules in the product."
"The product is extremely stable, with no bugs or glitches, and it doesn't crash or freeze, making it very reliable and not problematic at all."
"ServiceNow is one of the few easiest platforms you can integrate with products like Ansible to automate your workflows."
"ServiceNow has got all the features and functionalities, it is a solid solution, it is also easy to get into and use, and it is certainly highly scalable."
"It's ease of use, extensibility and just the ability to take it out of the box and use it with minimal custom configuration."
"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 more about the ease of use of ServiceNow, plus everything is there in a single platform, and if you need any additional functionality, you just need to enable the plugins without even installing anything on the servers."
 

Cons

"The area where we would like to see improvement is in the asset management module."
"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 product’s current version could be easier and straightforward to work with small IT organizations, similar to the older version."
"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."
"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."
"Direct support from ServiceNow is not very good. Most of the support comes from partners, and customers heavily rely on them."
"There are Virtual Task Boards in the tool in the latest releases. There are many of them in the Scaled Agile Framework. There is some room there for improvement. It's really quite promising but, at the same time, it could be improved and I believe it will be improved soon."
"It's a little expensive compared to other tools."
"The technical support SLA can be improved because sometimes they take a long time to answer our queries."
"There is a need for bug or error tracking in ServiceNow."
"With scalability, we have grown quite significantly in the last two years and the performance of our instance has really taken a hit."
"The solution should offer better security when it comes to storing data."
"I think some of the areas for improvement are some of the features that get added sometimes and not a lot of help and resources get devoted to them."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"BMC Track-It!’s price is reasonable compared to other products."
"The platform offers a free trial, by providing a free developer instance once you sign up."
"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."
"There is an annual subscription to use this solution."
"The pricing is on the high side, but if you look at the stability and option to work, it's kind of justified."
"In Tunisia, the companies find the licensing costs to be expensive."
"I would say it is moderately expensive, ranging from six to seven on a scale of ten."
"The price is okay for us. It's reasonable."
"Getting the solution up and running is expensive."
