Provides limited scalability, and systems do not synchronize properly
I use the platform to track IT assets, including who they belong to and their current status I do not find the product beneficial. It has ongoing issues and does not meet my expectations. The two systems within Asset Manager do not synchronize properly. Queries fail to retrieve the correct…

Structured workflows have improved SLA compliance and now support prioritized incident handling
I think the licensing and pricing of ServiceNow is quite expensive compared to other tools. For large organizations, it is acceptable, but specifically for small and medium organizations to track incidents or change requests, ServiceNow is quite expensive. Sometimes performance can be slow when workflows and integrations are configured for complex tasks. For advanced customizations or advanced features which we rarely use, the documentation is not up to standard. The documentation needs to be improved for advanced customization features. However, the platform is stable overall and the features are quite good. The user experience and performance concerns I mentioned are areas I want to be improved. When many workflows and interactions are configured, performance is slow. For the features it is providing, it is quite expensive. If these performance features are improved, we can easily pay that price and get the return on investment.

Quotes from Members

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

Pros

"The product's stability in terms of uptime is generally good; it is always operational."
"The solution is easy to setup."
"I would tell you that ServiceNow is a great product to use because just from what we have, what we use, it's highly customizable and there are a lot of features that we like."
"The area where we have benefited a lot is that, initially, it was very difficult to have end-to-end visibility into what was happening, and we were able to establish that with ServiceNow."
"I prefer ServiceNow to the competition because of its ease of use, installation and configuration."
"Last year, there were three steps for installing or uninstalling software when a user asked us to do so, but by using ServiceNow, when a user opens a ticket or incident, we can automatically run the workflows through the system, and the assistant can automatically go to the user's computer and install or uninstall the software."
"I like the reporting aspect of it. It helps us know where we stand regarding the types of issues we're receiving... It also shows us trends. That enables us to possibly predict an issue that might come up in the future as well as what is happening right now. We will like that feature. With it, we can either avoid certain issues or know where we need to focus more regarding the service we provide."
"It's a very low-code platform, and it's simple. The user experience is also really good."
"I like the workflow functions that are available in ServiceNow and the ability to actually integrate all of the information that you have such as travel tickets or assignment tickets for your team, onto your dashboard, depending on your setup, or if you create a ticket and a dashboard for your team."
"We can keep track of incidences. There is a bucket where we keep all our information, and it enables communication between stakeholders. It helps us collaborate with each other."
 

Cons

"Queries fail to retrieve the correct information, and the discovery tool does not accurately reflect the details of devices."
"The synchronization between the ITAM and Neurons should be restored."
"I think that it goes too fast sometimes and they have too many releases too often."
"Data access is a bit difficult, where you sometimes wish you had a relational database for some queries."
"We had ServiceNow’s in-house team for “Quick-Start Implementation”, but it was very basic, and the custom things we asked him to do from scratch were not engineered very thoroughly or using best coding practices."
"Needs additional software titles and easier normalization."
"The big area of improvement that I see is in the licensing model for the CreateNow app."
"It's missing monitoring capabilities."
"It's very expensive, and if care is not taken, competitions can quickly come and take over the space by offering better pricing."
"I find the pricing of ServiceNow to be high and somewhat reasonable."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is reasonably priced."
"It is fairly expensive."
"The setup cost is high compared to others, especially when the scope is not fixed."
"The price could be a little lower for the solution. Many of my customers have issues with the licensing process, they have to make it easier and straightforward."
"I'm not aware of any additional costs. I'm pretty sure that the current client is paying just the licensing fee per user. I do know that they've got some support agreement with ServiceNow, but I don't think that is broken out or specific to Project Management. It is just inclusive."
"There is an annual subscription to use this solution."
"It is very expensive because it is a big organization. You have to pay for additional things."
"The CapEx version is great."
"I would say it is moderately expensive, ranging from six to seven on a scale of ten."
