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."
"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."
"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."
"As a department, we have been able to identify problems and resolve them faster because of the centralized database."
"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."
"The most valuable aspect of the solution is the possibility of the application development cap so that we can digitize workflows."
"It's a very low-code platform, and it's simple. The user experience is also really good."
"ServiceNow offers a range of ITSM, IT incident management, and PRCPs."
"ServiceNow is easy to use and has a user-friendly interface."
"Identifies better ways to license software or eliminate unused software to save money."
"SPM and ITSM features are the most helpful."
"Data in reports and dashboards are easily accessible."
"There are features included in the new release for intelligent software, like the chatbot. For HR services, the HR agent which is in that chatbot has been fantastic."
 

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."
"Their self-service is not user friendly."
"The solution is cumbersome to use."
"I do not like the user interface."
"It's missing monitoring capabilities."
"Transparency in the pricing model needs to be improved."
"An area for improvement would be the accessibility of downloaded and compressed files."
"The interface is not user-friendly."
"The challenge with ServiceNow lies in its expansive portfolio of services. It can be complex, and users may find it expensive and challenging to understand. There is a need for a configurator within ServiceNow that guides users on how to utilize the tool effectively. This configurator should provide insights into licensing, team requirements, and the best licensing model based on whether companies prefer ownership or consumption-based models."
"There are sometimes challenges with the portal being a bit confusing for new users."
"There's always a room for improvement in terms of the ServiceNow UI. For customers, the UI is something that is a continuous improvement."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"BMC Track-It!’s price is reasonable compared to other products."
"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 would say it is moderately expensive, ranging from six to seven on a scale of ten."
"The pricing is on the high side, but if you look at the stability and option to work, it's kind of justified."
"It's sold as a less expensive solution, but it has to be highly modified. That's where you get into the cost."
"The setup cost is high compared to others, especially when the scope is not fixed."
"This is a pretty expensive product, so the licensing could be better."
"For the modules we use, we found it competitive. I can't think of any costs in addition to the licensing fees."
"It has a higher cost compared to local/regional solutions."
