Data visualization and workflow efficiency improve with automated features
I do not have a business relationship with this vendor other than being a customer, and I was not offered a gift card or incentive for this review. We use other tech products such as Microsoft Excel and Slack. We can use my real name when publishing my review, along with my real company name. On a scale of 1-10, I rate Claude an 8.

Virtual agent has transformed support workflows and saves employees valuable time every day
The only concern about ServiceNow Virtual Agent is that it helps in the notification, but in most companies, employees do not always work on ServiceNow. There are administrators and end users. What happens with end users is that if your screen is open with the service portal and ServiceNow Virtual Agent on your screen, you do get your notifications. But if you accidentally close the window or the browser and start to work on something else, even if ServiceNow Virtual Agent responds, the notification is not sent to that person. ServiceNow has changed the game by bringing Now Assist and other AI related aspects where they have leveled up on the virtual agent capability. I would say that ServiceNow Virtual Agent as an individual entity can be improved in certain aspects. The biggest improvement needed for ServiceNow Virtual Agent is that it is currently only available on the service portal. If a person logs into ServiceNow and they are a fulfiller, in order to access ServiceNow Virtual Agent, they will have to open their service portal and keep it open until they receive the notifications. If ServiceNow Virtual Agent is available on the classic UI itself, the moment any fulfiller logs into ServiceNow, they do not have to additionally go on to the portal. That would be more helpful and would save some time. ServiceNow in general is doing a good thing across all the modules. I do not have any negative feedback to provide. The whole AI thing that has come after the Xanadu upgrade and then the Zurich upgrade, things are slowly improving and the way ServiceNow is building the build agent and other aspects, I do expect some really interesting and innovative features in the next year from the Australia release.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Claude saves me significant time when conducting research or writing quick Python scripts."
"Claude has positively impacted my organization, as evident from the metrics which show productivity doubling and turnaround time being cut in half."
"Overall, I rate Claude nine out of ten."
"Virtual Agent frees up resources. When properly populated, it's a great asset because it can provide answers 24/7, and you can operate it with reduced staff. You save money. Over time, you can have it learn to address newer questions as you work with it from a support staff standpoint."
"Virtual Agent gives us connectivity that can reach out to any middleware."
"For me, it's very valuable that many of the IT solutions that normally service desk agents provide and that take a lot of their time can be done. For example, password reset normally takes a lot of time for service desk agents, and that is something that can be very easily automated so that they can focus on something that adds more value. Password reset or helping with password reset looks simple, and maybe naive, but it takes a significant amount of time for service desk agents. That is something that helps a lot."
"The ITSM topics were valuable. They reduced service desk usage and freed agents. They saved 40% to 50% of the time, and the agents were able to do other tasks instead of just replying to customers, replying to their emails, or logging the incidents themselves. That percentage of work was now done directly by end-users who were also happy because they were able to get the query response within seconds instead of waiting in a queue or waiting for an agent to reply."
"What's best about ServiceNow Virtual Agent is easy implementation. It's a drag-and-drop process where you can set up a chatbot over the UI. I like that ServiceNow Virtual Agent is a low-code solution. For ServiceNow Virtual Agent integration, you'll only need to write short lines of code, so that's easier. As ServiceNow Virtual Agent is under ServiceNow, it's easy to raise an incident, look for a knowledge base article, etc., so this is another pro of the solution."
 

Cons

"The foundational model would have to be improved to be comparable to ChatGPT for everyday use cases."
"The product could be improved by offering automatic integration with other solutions, such as the ability to read Excel or text files and automate processes this way."
"There were occurrences where the machine was not recognizing the topic correctly and not routing the users to the correct topic. It was specifically related to the Spanish language."
"Right now, out of the box, ServiceNow Virtual Agent has no natural language conversion. You can't convert from one language to another. If that functionality were available in ServiceNow Virtual Agent, that would make the solution better and easier for users. For example, if a user is typing in Chinese and the service desk staff is using Hindi, there should be a dynamic conversion of the languages, so there'd be good and accurate communication between the end user and the service desk team. The additional feature I'd like ServiceNow Virtual Agent to have in its next release is language conversion because that's where it's lagging. It's one of the most critical features that clients ask for. I'm in a consulting firm, and I'm helping people implement ServiceNow Virtual Agent. As a consultant, people often ask me this question: "How do you remove the language barrier?""
"Lacks integration with AI search or any enterprise search machine."
"They can help the developers with ready-made structures or JavaScript structures or topics that can be integrated into the basic package. That would help a lot."
