I am still using ServiceNow Now Platform. I have worked with Qualys in one of my customers, but not much. I wanted to know whether there is any module of Rubrik in ServiceNow Now Platform. I am an end user and do not work with the solution provided for ServiceNow Now Platform separately. I work with ServiceNow Now Platform. I have not worked with app development capabilities. Regarding the integration capability of ServiceNow Now Platform, I can say it is compatible with most of the technologies for my connectivity with other systems. I cannot comment on analytics insights, as I have not worked on it, so I cannot say it improved my service efficiency. I do not remember if I have worked with something different for the same purpose. My overall rating for this review is eight out of ten.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The solution is stable."
"The data table that helps in converting a single script to multiple test cases is very helpful."
"The best thing is that a person without knowledge about the program can easily understand what happened in our testing process."
"CucumberStudio has a very user-friendly interface."
"The URL is very useful, and it has a very good UI for deploying information of the scenarios created."
"CucumberStudio aligns with our strategy for data-driven testing."
"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 aligns with our strategy for data-driven testing."
"ServiceNow Now Platform has one thing that no other tool offers, which is the dataset, specifically the management of the dataset."
"The solution is in Gartner's Magic Quadrant."
"It can integrate anywhere, and you can make any kind of workflow."
"The simplicity is great."
"At this point, over and above what ServiceNow actually is, the key is that it's really nothing but a web service. Whether it's a form or anything, the best part is that you can easily leverage anything of ServiceNow for any application anywhere just by calling the REST endpoints and handling the request messages."
"The CMDB is robust, with a strong data model and well-structured data."
"What I appreciate best about ServiceNow Now Platform is that they are self-sufficient, they have a good ecosystem built around it, and they integrate with a lot of standard partners, which is a great thing to talk about."
"The solution is very comprehensive."
 

Cons

"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."
"CucumberStudio's API integration could be improved both in terms of reliability and design."
"The reporting needs to be improved."
"Another kind of deployment might be useful, perhaps an option to install the tool in a local deployment."
"I would like to see better customer support."
"A key area for improvement is to revamp outdated components such as HipTest publisher."
"There are a few areas of concern when it comes to the product's support team where improvements are required."
"The solution's user interface is very average, and it needs to be more enriched and user-friendly."
"The pricing model is complex and needs to be both lowered and simplified."
"The user experience could be improved. The current design of forms lacks intuitiveness, as there seems to be only one form available for all types of operations."
"The price is a bit high and can be a bit of a barrier for some customers."
"The Robotic Process Automation features are not mature enough. ServiceNow could work toward that because we can leverage RP only from this platform."
"The tool has a lot of limitations."
"The integration towards other ERP systems could be improved."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

I don't know of any additional costs associated with the ServiceNow Now Platform, apart from the standard licensing fees."
"It is expensive only."
"The product is very expensive."
"I would rate the pricing an eight out of ten, with ten being very expensive solution."
