Featured Reviews

Nikhil Gohil - PeerSpot reviewer
Enables effective incident management and seamless workflow automation with valuable mobile accessibility
I haven't thought deeply about improvements for ServiceNow or what might be missing right now. There are so many modules and features in ServiceNow that I haven't explored them all, so it's hard to say what might be missing or should be improved. I suggest making the cost more affordable for smaller companies.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"Being able to have the required information for project management is valuable. I've got multiple people accessing it, and I'm tracking tasks with percentages done. It allows me to have detailed notes and provides the ability to attach documents. I have used a lot of project management solutions, and there were gaps in terms of what was available. ServiceNow has got all the features and functionalities. It is a solid solution. It is also easy to get into and use. It is certainly highly scalable."
"ServiceNow gives us a lot for free: workflows, organizational structures, service portal, forms, reporting, disaster recovery, and so on."
"You can put information in or export it out quickly, which is very useful when you have weekly or monthly reports."
"There are a lot of features within ServiceNow. There are plenty of add-ons that go beyond the typical core helpdesk operations, such as HR facilities, BRM functionality, and various compliance and governance capabilities."
"The analytics - we like to keep track of how much work everyone is doing."
"This solution is a single-storage for our user community to submit help desk tickets."
"I have found the workflows and integration the most valuable in this solution."
"Flexibility is the most valuable feature of ServiceNow, that is, being able to modify it to do what we need it to do."
"The solution is good for cloud cost management."
"The product is easy to use in terms of monitoring all the environments. It works for multiple clouds."
"We are able to create an internal price of the product that we can then sell to clients. We get the cost plan at a good discount and then resell it with a mark up to our enterprise-level clients. This flexibility in pricing is one of the solution's best features."
"This solution is fast and very easy to understand, even if you are not a technician."
"We use dashboards quite heavily, but one of the features that have really stood out is some of the policies we've created to alert us of particular situations."
"The most valuable thing I have found is the cost saving recommendations"
"The solution is useful for cloud transparency and visibility in reports and dashboards that I have generated, especially the pre-populated dashboards."
"The pricing is rather competitive right now."
 

Cons

"There is a need for bug or error tracking in ServiceNow."
"ServiceNow's customization is not too agile in those cases; it takes a little bit of time."
"This solution needs to be improved for global use. Currently, it's very oriented to the processes and needs of the US customer base, like their compliance solution or GRC (Governance, Risk, and Compliance), and not so much for customers from other parts of the world. Some users may like the things that ServiceNow is improving, but those are very oriented to users based in the United States and Europe."
"Creating service catalog forms could be made easier."
"I find ServiceNow to be a little bit clunky. If I need to report an issue they have a number of different options. I can report an issue, I can ask a question, I can make a request and it has varying levels of importance or levels of attention required. I find that what's required to submit is not always clear."
"Before implementing this solution, you should have the ITSM model in place for chain management requests. That is a prerequisite because you cannot perform tasks without it."
"They need to be providing vendors and implementation partners with materials and guidance on implementation."
"The solution is lacking in the mobile application area that could be improved."
"The Perspectives feature could be better."
"I would like to see better integration from CloudHealth to create easier setup and implementation."
"If you are working with the OS you need help and other connectors to get more information."
"They should provide information or tools to tune the cloud resources according to the environment size."
"The export features regarding CSV files and specifically around identifying savings plans have room for improvement, as well as the drill-down features for reservation utilization."
"CloudHealth needs to start building out Turbonomics-types of features that help the customers who are using CloudHealth really understand everything down to the server level, the virtual machine level."
"The performance and accuracy of Cloud Health need to be improved."
"It would be helpful to have a mobile version or a tablet version, especially for people who are outside of the office."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"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."
"We are happy with the pricing."
"$230 per user."
"The license model is based on a number of fulfillers (active users who play some role within the ServiceNow functionality). Therefore, you can serve as many end-users as you want, without additional costs."
"The pricing is reasonable and affordable, making it suitable for businesses ranging from small to large scale."
"It is fairly expensive."
"I would say it is moderately expensive, ranging from six to seven on a scale of ten."
"The solution is priced for medium to enterprises sized businesses. However, it is expensive compared to competitors."
"CloudHealth has a subscription-based model."
"The pricing is competitive and while other products are good they are considerably more expensive."
"The licensing fees depend on how big the company is. If you are a larger company then you have a better contract with a better price. The price is different for a small company."
"There could be flexibility in pricing for the product."
"I give the cost of the solution an eight out of ten."
