Facilitates integration of test scenarios while needing modernization of components
CucumberStudio is primarily used for designing test scenarios and automating testing. We have implemented it in conjunction with our own routines for integration into our infrastructure CucumberStudio aligns with our strategy for data-driven testing. It supports our product owners in designing…
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

"CucumberStudio aligns with our strategy for data-driven testing."
"The best thing is that a person without knowledge about the program can easily understand what happened in our testing process."
"The solution is stable."
"The most valuable feature of CucumberStudio is its use of action words, which allows me to avoid writing test cases from scratch for the most common scenarios."
"CucumberStudio has a very user-friendly interface."
"CucumberStudio aligns with our strategy for data-driven testing."
"The URL is very useful, and it has a very good UI for deploying information of the scenarios created."
"The data table that helps in converting a single script to multiple test cases is very helpful."
"The look and feel is a valuable benefit for adoption."
"ServiceNow provides quite good insights about what is happening in the organization."
"I really like ServiceNow and all of the features. The way incident management is built is very helpful. You have a lot of options to optimize it, customize it, and automate it. You also have a lot of options for reporting. There are plenty of possibilities to do preference management within your customer CMDB file. These are very useful features, which I missed in BMC Remedy ITSM. ServiceNow is the best ticketing tool I have used so far."
"ServiceNow offers a range of ITSM, IT incident management, and PRCPs."
"In terms of the most valuable features, it's nice to have everything in one place. Things are easy to follow up on. ServiceNow provides that workflow. I know at some level it is in the pipeline and then if I need to follow up, everything's there. Those are the key benefits of ServiceNow."
"The feature that I have found most valuable from ServiceNow is the ability to assign sub-tasks to different teams, including problem tickets and the regular and chain tasks."
"You can put information in or export it out quickly, which is very useful when you have weekly or monthly reports."
"Data in reports and dashboards are easily accessible."
 

Cons

"A key area for improvement is to revamp outdated components such as HipTest publisher."
"I would like to see better customer support."
"The reporting needs to be improved."
"A key area for improvement is to revamp outdated components such as HipTest publisher."
"I think it would be better if we could also do the reporting with CucumberStudio."
"Another kind of deployment might be useful, perhaps an option to install the tool in a local deployment."
"CucumberStudio's API integration could be improved both in terms of reliability and design."
"The capital expenditure neeed to get the tool up and running is extensive."
"The interface can be a bit more intuitive."
"Like all other IaaS, PaaS, and SaaS subscription cloud providers, ServiceNow is constantly improving by building new capabilities to expand the breadth and depth of its offerings while increasing its activities with partners to build more capabilities."
"I do not like the user interface."
"The solution should offer better security when it comes to storing data."
"There are sometimes challenges with the portal being a bit confusing for new users. The implementation of the portal and workspaces is quite different, and improvements in this area would be beneficial."
"It's a little expensive compared to other tools."
"There should be greater integration with other enterprise applications. We're using Microsoft, Oracle, and other applications, and it would be good to have a greater integration on some of the immediate hiccups that you have with these services. It doesn't mean that when we have a problem with using another application, ServiceNow should be able to fix it, but ServiceNow should be able to alert us to things. There should be a bit more automation or integration."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

Information not available
"For large-scale companies, the cost of ServiceNow is not expensive, but for small and mid-scale companies, it is higher."
"The CapEx version is great."
"I have found the solution very expensive."
"It's sold as a less expensive solution, but it has to be highly modified. That's where you get into the cost."
"Some time ago it was expensive, but large companies have special contracts. It's enterprise prices, and we're talking about millions per year."
"The setup cost is high compared to others, especially when the scope is not fixed."
"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."
"For the modules we use, we found it competitive. I can't think of any costs in addition to the licensing fees."
