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.

Quotes from Members

We asked business professionals to review the solutions they use. Here are some excerpts of what they said:
 

Pros

"Using their problem management process, we can use parent/child tickets and set up public views for our problem work orders."
"The initial setup is pretty easy."
"Our efficiency has improved drastically due to a massive reduction in phone calls."
"Our users have come to expect availability and quick responses, and we are able to provide this thanks to the Track-IT! solution."
"Using the Help Desk and Purchasing modules, they let us keep track of all the issues in our organization and analyze them for trends."
"As a department, we have been able to identify problems and resolve them faster because of the centralized database."
"Track-It! has many features that help make us more efficient and cost effective as a department."
"Our efficiency has improved drastically due to a massive reduction in phone calls."
"I think the technical support is pretty good. They can be a little bit slow sometimes, but overall I think they're good."
"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."
"I have found that sorting and grouping functions are particularly useful."
"We have found change management and CMDB to be very useful."
"ServiceNow offers a great return on investment because it saves us a lot of time and increases the efficiency of team members to complete their tickets and work on the PRBs to solve the root cause."
"From my standpoint, it's the process flexibility."
"The solution is stable, scalable and easy to use."
"You can have it installed and up and running within hours if you know what you're doing. Time to market would be one of the main things to consider."
 

Cons

"Their self-service is not user friendly."
"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."
"The solution is cumbersome to use."
"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 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."
"A new user does need training or time to learn the solution before jumping in. It was very hard in the beginning to understand everything."
"We have had bugginess, but we're going to get too technical for me."
"For me, there's a real opportunity, especially within the IT Service Management suite, to give a much better overall view of the workflow that individuals have across the different applications."
"I've really enjoyed working with it, and I guess it's just the way we have things set up. It's a little frustrating not being able to find things, all the stuff I have to go through to get things fixed."
"The initial setup was incredibly complex."
"I don't know where that's going to end because at some point ServiceNow will become a marlock and people will turn away from a 'one solution fits all' and go more into the niches again."
"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."
"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."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"BMC Track-It!’s price is reasonable compared to other products."
"Isn't pricing always too much? We really do chafe at the ITIL licensing. ITOM is also pretty expensive."
"The solution is priced for medium to enterprises sized businesses. However, it is expensive compared to competitors."
"It's sold as a less expensive solution, but it has to be highly modified. That's where you get into the cost."
"There is an annual subscription to use this solution."
"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."
"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."
"This is a pretty expensive product, so the licensing could be better."
"The pricing is reasonable and affordable, making it suitable for businesses ranging from small to large scale."
