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…

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.

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."
"The Idea Portal and the PPM platform are most valuable. Their out-of-the-box dashboards and reporting are fantastic. I use them almost on a weekly basis. I have developed a couple of PMO dashboards for reporting. It is user-friendly. Everything is done through a navigation bar, and it makes things a lot easier that way."
"We have found change management and CMDB to be very useful."
"I recommend ServiceNow due to its stability and good security."
"I have found many features that are important and that are easier when compared to Remedy; for example, the Scripted REST APIs and the Flow Designer... The Client scripts are simpler when you compare with Remedy."
"For change management, I find the CAB workbench very useful. I haven't seen any other solution that has a CAB workbench or advanced automated solutions for a change advisory board. ServiceNow also has the Workflow Engine which works very well and is very intuitive."
"Simplicity of Change Manager."
"ServiceNow is very easy to set up."
"The Workflow feature is the most valuable."
 

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."
"There are sometimes challenges with the portal being a bit confusing for new users."
"The customer service of the product right now isn't very good. It's an aspect they really need to improve."
"There should be fewer clicks and faster integrations between solutions."
"Licensing costs are very high."
"Creating service catalog forms could be made easier."
"There is a need for bug or error tracking in ServiceNow."
"ServiceNow's customization is not too agile in those cases; it takes a little bit of time."
"When we are using the solution on mobile phones on their networks the performance is reduced with a delay of approximately 8 seconds. There is less delay using the desktop computers connected to the WiFi or to the network directly."
 

Pricing and Cost Advice

"The solution is reasonably priced."
"The price is okay for us. It's reasonable."
"It is very expensive because it is a big organization. You have to pay for additional things."
"Isn't pricing always too much? We really do chafe at the ITIL licensing. ITOM is also pretty expensive."
"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."
"ServiceNow tends to be a little bit more expensive as compared to BMC Helix ITSM."
"The licensing expenses are excessively high."
"Certainly, from a product-platform perspective, the price is not too bad."
"We know that ServiceNow is not cheap, it's more expensive than other solutions. But we are trying to increase our ability to handle tickets so that the cost per ticket is less."
