Has proactive monitoring with predictive insights and a user-friendly interface
Some of the most valuable features of CloudIQ include its health status alerts, which allow you to see quickly if there is something that needs immediate attention, preventing the need to check each system individually. It provides a status with traffic light colors, where red indicates danger, yellow means attention is needed, and green represents normal conditions to easily understand the health of the environment. The quick overview aids in decision-making. Additionally, CloudIQ's predictive capabilities, which are enhanced by artificial intelligence, have improved operational efficiency by providing proactive information to prevent issues before they arise.

Significant enhancement in operations with powerful discovery and analytics, yet pricing structure poses challenges
ServiceNow IT Operations Management provides out-of-the-box dashboards. Along with the dashboard, it also provides the Operations Workspace, which is very useful for operations teams. There is a functionality called Performance Analytics, which we are also using to develop some dashboards for the senior leadership and operations team where they can perform trend analysis of alerts and events happening across the infrastructure and application landscape. These dashboards are really useful here. ServiceNow IT Operations Management's biggest plus point is that it is a platform. ITOM is just one module that ServiceNow IT Operations Management offers, but they provide seamless integration of ITOM with their other modules such as ITSM, where we can leverage the AIs for discovery, perform impact analysis, which essentially helps to enhance the overall IT operations and reduce the downtime and MTTR.

Pros

"Some of the most valuable features of CloudIQ include its health status alerts, which allow you to see quickly if there is something that needs immediate attention, preventing the need to check each system individually."

"CloudIQ allows us to monitor our servers centrally, and we can receive notifications in case of issues, like a potential hard drive failure."
"CloudIQ allows us to monitor our servers centrally, and we can receive notifications in case of issues, like a potential hard drive failure."
"I rate CloudIQ a ten out of ten."
"It's convenient because you can access it from a mobile device without needing a laptop."
"Fewer vulnerabilities have been observed in the four years we have used the solution."
"It is flexible. You can tune it, more or less, as you want."
"ITOM communicates information about incidents and maintains them. It handles tickets change, manages service networks, and reduces IT service downtime for the organization."
"It includes a valuable feature called Discovery, that aids in application portfolio management, enabling visibility into IT infrastructure from top to bottom."
"Feature-wise, it is a very good tool, especially when it comes to upgrades. Upgrades are seamless. You will not even notice an upgrade is happening."
"The end-to-end ticketing process is most valuable in ServiceNow IT Operations Management because its notification feature is excellent in keeping all users informed on the next step compared to BMC. I also like that ServiceNow IT Operations Management is very user-friendly."
"I like the tool's discovery feature."
"The dashboard maintenance is very good, and the tool doesn't get stuck."
"Customer service is excellent."
 

Cons

"In terms of improvement, they should enhance the product range."
"If you have a heterogeneous environment, there might be some limitations in coverage since CloudIQ is primarily designed for Dell-based infrastructures."
"Doesn't do well in terms of integrating with technologies other than Dell."
"PowerScale is the only file system offered and that is limiting."
"I think the remediation could have been better."
"Supporting legacy systems is an area that can be improved."
"The reporting capabilities of this solution could be improved."
"Getting through support has become a difficult thing. Dell's support has degraded since they took over EMC. It's a bit difficult to use."
"The vendor support rates between five to six because it takes a lot of time to get issues resolved, whether minor or major. For minor issues, the team takes a month's time to provide a fix."
"Regarding ServiceNow, there is room for improvement in terms of customization, particularly in the area of self-customization."
"If you are new to using the solution, you will find the setup complex."
"The time for deployment of ServiceNow IT Operations Management depends on many factors. It's a SaaS application, it should not take too long, but if you want to define the tool based on your processes, then it would take some time. It fully depends on the company's complexity. There are out-of-the-box product flows and if you want to use them, you can from day one. However, if you want to customize it and change it to your company's practices, then it will take more time. The setup could be faster."
"We are facing difficulties with service mapping of CIs from the end users, and are seeking help from third-party vendors."
"The out-of-the-box reporting feature is not as user friendly as other tools."
"The product needs to add a workflow insight tool."
"The initial setup phase was hard and could be made easier."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I believe it is a free product because we don't pay for it."
"The solution is more expensive than NetApp which offers file systems in various price ranges."
"There are additional costs, you have to pay more for everything."
"The cost of ServiceNow is much higher."
"The solution offers yearly licenses and a subscription model for add-on features."
"ServiceNow IT Operations Management is a costly solution. I'd rate the price at ten, on a scale from one to ten with one being the lowest and ten being the highest price. Some clients do have a problem with the price, but most find that the solution is worth the cost."
"I would rate the product's pricing a five out of ten since there are vendors who are cheaper."
"The solution is costly compared to the products offered by its competitors."
"It is moderately expensive. The pricing itself and the licensing options are depending on the model and the customization."
"While not entirely sure, I believe the solution costs at least a million dollars annually."
