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

"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."
"We use it to create and manage our work orders."
"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."
"Good stable and scalable solution."
"Usability, application customizations and ease of building your own product within the tool was a very positive edge for ServiceNow to be leaps and bounds beyond the market tools."
"I would recommend it and I love this tool."
"ServiceNow has enabled us to rapidly deploy Application Managed Services for new clients, with the ability to configure, extend, and tailor our ITSM Platform to meet individual client needs."
"I recommend ServiceNow due to its stability and good security."
"Its integrated process data-model is a feature that's valuable for us."
"Your time-to-market, or TTM, becomes faster when you use ServiceNow, and even individuals that are not tech-savvy can quickly change processes and workflows in it, which can make the organization as a whole more agile."
"Makes ticket information easy to access."
 

Cons

"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."
"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 area where we would like to see improvement is in the asset management module."
"Their self-service is not user friendly."
"The solution is cumbersome to use."
"Currently, if you go and check the reports in the packet, the reports are useless; reporting is really bad."
"When something is added on ServiceNow on the platform, then you have 10 more things to do because you have to improve again and again and again."
"Right now I'm working on finding out how duplicate usernames are being created in our ServiceNow instance and that causes problems because we need to assign a ticket to somebody and then it shows two names but they don't know which one to choose so they choose the one that's not active."
"Lots of customizations can lead to breaking the system when moving to another release. This should be managed better by ServiceNow."
"They need to be providing vendors and implementation partners with materials and guidance on implementation."
"My first instance was a June 2011 instance, and upgrading was a nightmare from that point."
"To make ServiceNow better, they should reduce their pricing, especially because there's a lot of competition. Many customers have moved to ManageEngine because they cannot afford the license cost."
"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. ServiceNow is evolving itself in the discovery piece of the future."
"HR Service Management is one module that needs a lot of improvement because it's a pretty new module. It was introduced in the last two years. It's becoming more mature day by day, but there is a lot of scope for improvement in that module."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"BMC Track-It!’s price is reasonable compared to other products."
"ServiceNow is an expensive solution."
"The platform offers a free trial, by providing a free developer instance once you sign up."
"ServiceNow tends to be a little bit more expensive as compared to BMC Helix ITSM."
"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 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."
"They could be more competitive with their licensing."
"While the option exists to pay for a monthly license, we are dealing with large enterprises and these typically involve multi-year licenses of ten or five years, at a minimum."
"It is very expensive because it is a big organization. You have to pay for additional things."
