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

"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."
"Track-It! has many features that help make us more efficient and cost effective as a department."
"ServiceNow is such a broad framework that you can basically touch upon any improvement that you want to do in your company."
"I would say one of the best things on ServiceNow platform is the way how you can quickly automate delivery of services or goods to the end-user."
"They have thought through it, and not just the whole domain in the platform but now they have connected it to the business side, the business needs and the processes, the work that people do down to the technology."
"It's ease of use, extensibility and just the ability to take it out of the box and use it with minimal custom configuration."
"The ability to implement end-to-end flows, including business ones, is the most important aspect of the solution."
"By automating processes it has increased efficiency and productivity."
"I have found that sorting and grouping functions are particularly useful."
"I find the incident management part to be the most valuable. That's how the service desk tracks tickets."
 

Cons

"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."
"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."
"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."
"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."
"Some of the issues that my team has run into are that something one day works completely fine, the next day it does not."
"The Express edition does not allow the option for scripting."
"ServiceNow doesn't cater to the Middle Eastern market."
"I have enjoyed all the features. There is not any feature that I have missed or didn't have."
"If you have advanced questions, technical support often doesn't know the answer."
"UI simplification is necessary as the interface can feel complex for new users who are unable to understand how to use this tool."
"If I consider from the IT operations management side, ServiceNow is pretty premature on some things, especially the discovery, while the other tools like Micro Focus and BMC Remedy, those that have been in the market for quite some time."
"Compared to other products that I have been using, it is not as user-friendly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"BMC Track-It!’s price is reasonable compared to other products."
"The pricing is reasonable and affordable, making it suitable for businesses ranging from small to large scale."
"The product cost is higher than that of other vendors."
"Certainly, from a product-platform perspective, the price is not too bad."
"The price of the solution is comparable to industry standards. For the features that we received, it is reasonable."
"The CapEx version is great."
"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."
"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."
"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."
