Nafiu Garba - PeerSpot reviewer
It offers different licensing types that allow you to extend the services to clients; it lets you look into device performance and optimization and helps apply best practices
What I like best about IDERA Uptime Infrastructure Monitor is that it offers different licensing types. Hence, it allows my organization to extend the services to clients and not just use the solution within the organization. My organization can leverage IDERA Uptime Infrastructure Monitor to learn more about how clients perform because the solution lets you monitor and optimize devices and apply best practices.
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.

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

Pros

"My organization can leverage IDERA Uptime Infrastructure Monitor to learn more about how clients perform because the solution lets you monitor and optimize devices and apply best practices."
"ServiceNow is easy to use."
"We consider the integration capabilities of the solution with other tools to be a valuable feature."
"The workflow makes things extremely efficient and it improves effectiveness."
"It provides internal clients with greater transparency about their projects and deliverables."
"ServiceNow provides quite good insights about what is happening in the organization."
"Within our organization, we're not finding really any major issues with scalability and things of that nature."
"It can scale well if you are managing IT assets."
"The most valuable features of the solution are the ease of use and the sensor for ticketing systems."
 

Cons

"What I want to improve in IDERA Uptime Infrastructure Monitor is the community aspect, where IDERA would provide customers with updates on functionalities, what comes next, what IDERA Uptime Infrastructure Monitor upgrades would be released, etc. I also want the sustainability of IDERA Uptime Infrastructure Monitor to improve."
"The asset management application could be improved. They have a lot of the infrastructure built, but it does not come with already made compatibility with some of the most popular vendors, such as Cisco and Microsoft. You have to fix it yourself."
"The capital expenditure neeed to get the tool up and running is extensive."
"The solution could improve by being more stable."
"The licensing needs to be divided into tiers in order to attract lower-level users."
"The solution could be made cheaper. Machine learning and artificial intelligence should be introduced in the next release."
"The installation and deployment of ServiceNow can be a bit challenging. One major issue I've encountered is that ServiceNow doesn't provide the same mobile responsiveness or features that we used to enjoy with other tools. For example, with Splunk, our response times were about five minutes, and we could manage alerts and incidents directly from our mobile devices."
"It's not very secure, it's web-based, and I prefer Remedy. Both the security and the web interface could be improved."
"The solution should offer better security when it comes to storing data."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"I'm based in Nigeria, and the conversion rate affects the pricing for IDERA Uptime Infrastructure Monitor, but globally, pricing is reasonable. I'm rating pricing for the solution seven on a scale of one to ten."
"The cost is quite high."
"It has a higher cost compared to local/regional solutions."
"They could be more competitive with their licensing."
"There is an annual subscription to use this solution."
"We are happy with the pricing."
"Isn't pricing always too much? We really do chafe at the ITIL licensing. ITOM is also pretty expensive."
"This is a pretty expensive product, so the licensing could be better."
"I would say it is moderately expensive, ranging from six to seven on a scale of ten."
