Provides data accuracy for availability and policy harmonization
The reporting capabilities are a challenge and could be improved. We have been trying to connect to it from our help desk ticketing system, because the ticketing system manages asset tracking, which has been a bit challenging for us. Otherwise, they give some reports that are okay, but we do not use them much because we work in the dashboard. This solution is available in SaaS. The reason why we have not gone to SaaS is they do not have a country-specific separation of assets. There are GDPR and other requirements that might require country-specific sensitive information to be filtered as well as other things that need to be taken care of. Normally, if we need to do any compliance, like ISO27000 compliance, they don't have such a report within their system. This kind of report is missing from their SaaS. That is one of the reasons that we have gone to the on-prem version, where I am assured that my data is secure. I can take the report and show it to them from a compliance point of view. However, the moment we go to a SaaS model, I don't have control of the data and where the data is stored. I don't receive any complaints-based reports from the SaaS model.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"We use the solution to automatically trigger processes to help us resolve issues. The whole IT process has been automated, such as trying to map all the users and the escalation process. So, if any issue happens, we get an SMS and WhatsApp of the report. If there is a critical issue this has to be sorted out, like the entire data center being down, then there is an alarm."
"The backup, restore, and comparison features are all good."
"Our response time is within 30 minutes for any support. This solution provides alerts immediately, so we are within our SLA, giving efficiency to our support."
"The feature that I like the most and the best part is the customization."
"The most valuable feature is alerting. We get email alerts when a link is down that tell us which device is having a problem."
"The role-based dashboards provide data points and charts and topology diagrams in a single window. It's like a spider web, where the application, connectivity, and everything is defined for each user of those applications."
"It is a stable product. After the initial configuration, you don't have to tweak it much. All systems of Everest IMS work perfectly."
"Their discovery is very quick and they have a CSV file upload mechanism that allows you to onboard five thousand devices a day."
"The auto remediation feature has been most valuable. They have also introduced an AOP feature of ServiceNow that we are keen to explore."
"It's easy to set up."
"The most valuable features of the solution are discovery, cloud governance, event management, and service mapping."
"It provided out-of-the-box integrations, requiring only minimal effort, typically a couple of days, to massage those systems into a seamless operation."
"It is flexible. You can tune it, more or less, as you want."
"ServiceNow IT Operations Management is beneficial for the discovery of all CIs in our environment."
"ITOM communicates information about incidents and maintains them. It handles tickets change, manages service networks, and reduces IT service downtime for the organization."
"It is easy to use and simple to learn."
 

Cons

"This solution is available in SaaS. The reason why we have not gone to SaaS is they do not have a country-specific separation of assets. There are GDPR and other requirements that might require country-specific sensitive information to be filtered as well as other things that need to be taken care of. Normally, if we need to do any compliance, like ISO27000 compliance, they don't have such a report within their system. This kind of report is missing from their SaaS. That is one of the reasons that we have gone to the on-prem version, where I am assured that my data is secure."
"I would like to see an integrated view of Infraon IMS and Infraon Desk. It would be very helpful if that were integrated into the solution."
"The GUI is in need of improvement. It is not drag-and-drop or easy to use."
"The graphical view of the topology does not show us all of the connectivity in our network, which is something that could be improved."
"I would like to have the option to add a new device or meet with the next release. Right now, it needs to be done from the backend which results in a heavy reliance on R&D."
"We have enquired if there are any possibilities of monitoring non-IPBS devices."
"There might be some features in other products that are currently not there in Everest IMS and can be included. I have not yet compared it with any other product."
"Email support is a bit slow. Once you drop an email, it takes time."
"The product needs to add a workflow insight tool."
"The solution’s licensing cost could be improved."
"I would like more manual issues to have automated report-facing options."
"The tool can be improved by including more detailed information to assist new users."
"Enhancing automation-related solutions, such as Wi-Fi, porting, machinery, and product automation would help to achieve better operational outcomes."
"There are some limitations with Discovery; some areas are not available in the installation. I would like the solution to be able to discover more devices. That will remove the need to have multiple tools."
"Lacks the ability to do its own monitoring."
"At times, it got cumbersome from the project management perspective. It could have been because of the way we were using it. I found Microsoft Project to be more extensive and robust than ITOM."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"Licensing is calculated on a per-user basis."
"The cost model is within our budget. I have less than 180 critical assets, but the moment that I have 1,000 assets, then the license model is totally different. I don't know whether they are capable of handling that kind of a load. They could revisit the licensing model."
"I think that the pricing for this solution is reasonable and varies by number of devices."
"We pay for a number of devices on the accounts and since it is on-premises, we pay the maintenance charges for the year."
"If you are looking for the best product with the best price, Infraon is the best product. We evaluated five to six products and finally felt Infraon was better because of the pricing model, especially because it was more flexible."
"The pricing is reasonable, given the features that they provide."
"The pricing is high and may be excluding the small to medium-sized enterprise businesses."
"It is moderately expensive. The pricing itself and the licensing options are depending on the model and the customization."
"The cost of ServiceNow is much higher."
"We obtained discovery licenses at about seven dollars Australian per unit, which we found to be reasonable and competitive."
"The price of ServiceNow IT Operations Management is expensive."
"It has different subscription models."
"I would rate the product's pricing a five out of ten since there are vendors who are cheaper."
"The solution offers yearly licenses and a subscription model for add-on features."
